It sounds like a very serious situation. The first thing to do is to encourage her to go to the police to report the assault. They can then help her contact Social Services (or whatever they call it in your area) who will help her find a safe place to live. If she has reached the age of majority, her parents can probably ask her to leave, but it wouldn't be a thing that a smart parent would do. They certainly cannot implement this by assaulting her!! I hope things work out for her and I am glad that she has a good friend to try to help her.

Yes. the magic number is 18, the age of adulthood. domestic assault covers your other question. the police should have been called at the time this occured for two reasons 1. to make a report 2. to check for physical evidence on her body of an assault 3. to arrest or advise options for order of protection, restraining order, etc. if your friend has maintained residency at her mom's home.....clothes, personal belongings, etc., then an order of eviction is in order and a 30 day eviction notice will be served on your friend. by the way, what did your friend do that caused this assault??
