On Valentines day, I went to my girlfriend's house to give her some gift for valentine's day. Her dad came back right then and got really angry at the fact that I was there (her dad dislikes me). He started yelling at us both about how I'm a negative influence on her etc etc. A few mins later, he slaps her across the face and she hits the ground. As she tried to get back up, he slaps her again and while she is on the floor, he starts kicking her. I am not sure about how many times she was kicked/slapped but it was enough to give her a cut on her lips and a rash where she was kicked. She also stated that her body was sore all over because of the kicking she recieved. Right as I was about to stop her dad, her Aunt came and she saw him kick her in the stomach. The aunt stopped him immediately and told me that I should leave. Before I left the house, I heard him making a death threat to his daughter (my girlfriend) saying that he will kill her. He then said "you should know me by now". At that point I was a bit worried but I figured that if I stay, it'll just cause more trouble and that her aunt will take care of things.
Two days later, Feb. 16, I get a call from my girlfriend saying that her dad made ANOTHER death threat to her but this time he said that he will shoot her with a pistol. This one, her babysitter heard it. When I told my girlfriend that it's not okay for her dad to be doing those stuff, she replied "It's better than last time". She feels that she has no power and she cannot do anything about it. When I told her about social services/police/etc, she was unsure of what to do.
I was wondering what she should do because she was worried that the authorities would not listen to her. She is only 16 (I'm 17) and we are not sure if the authorities will take us seriously. Her little brother is influenced by her dad in a negative way and he will be on his side. As for the babysitter and aunt, they have not yet done anything to protect her and I do not know why they don't. So if the babysitter and aunt says something different about her father, I feel that this will all be dismissed and will not be looked at. Since I am only 17 and there were no other people witnessing this, I do not think it's very effective as I'm only a teenager. I want to get my girlfriend some help and I don't know how things work with the social services. I need some advice on what to do. This does not happen everyday but I feel that it's not a safe enviornment for her to live in. Am I taking this too far?
- The neighbors once called the police on her dad because they heard her brother screaming outside for help when her dad was mad at him. When the police came, the dad lied through as if her little brother was crazy. Her dad would not admit that he has a problem even when confronted by a phyciatrist. He would not even listen to her teacher about how he's causing stress and pressure on her. Any feedback would be nice. Opinion/questions/comment/etc
