Advice needed .. post #2
DD confided in me this morning that one of her teammates is involved in a physically abusive relationship. She, DD, has witnessed said TM's BF hitting her. One incident included DD pulling the TM away from the BF while 2 of the school janitors looked on! (WTF?!) DD ran to get their team sponsor, but when they returned he was gone.
An even worst part, the TM has tried telling her own Mother on several occasions, but the Mother still allowing the BF in her home (WTF?! #2)
Now, y'all know I was ready to go to the school this morning, right? But, DD made me promise not to do or say anything, because the TM is afraid.
So, I asked if the BF was on any athletic teams & just so happens he's a basketball player (I kinda wish he was a football player, I know the head coach well!), so I told DD to have her tell one of the coaches (both who knows DD).
However, I feel like it's not enough, but what else, besides having DD's BF & other football players beat his ass?!

I'm still totally flabbergasted that the mother of the TM does nothing. I would be tempted to get more adults involved, whatever it takes. This TM does not deserve to have this "hush hushed" regardless, and if it keeps being hush hushed, I'm sure she will feel that it's her fault.
What a mess!
I would go straight to the police. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200!

Sadly, I don't think there's much that DD can do besides going to the coaches, or maybe a school councelor or Principal. Though if she is witnessing this she could call the cops but TM has to be willing to file charges against the BF.
That is a scary, scary thing and the fact that it's happening in high school (actually that it happens at any time/age) terrifies me.
Yeah, I'd be calling the authorities on that one.
But it couldn't hurt to put the fear of God in him first either.
First off, I cannot believe that the TM's mom is doing nothing! WTF?!
I would suggest that DD go to a counselor, coach, principal or whoever - but unfortunately it needs to be the TM who actually goes to the police and presses charges.
Although, she is a minor, so maybe you could? If nothing else, a visit to the abusive BF by the police might instill the fear of God in the little fcker!
I would have DD go to the school counslers. Tell them what happened and that she is worried for TM. They should pull TM out of class to talk to her and hopefully help her to do what ever is needed to get out of the situation.

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
According to DD, the school counselors are worthless & their team sponsor is limited without the TM consent (crazy, huh?).
I know I promised DD, but I'm really tempted to call the FB Coach & have him rough the lilfucker up!
