Getting away from these abusers is my main question here. I don't think that the shelters will take her because it isn't her partner who is the abuser.

some shelters may take her

So where will she go? If she goes to the police, they take her report then she goes home?

Sannah do you know where she is? what county? small places may not have the resources but larger places would have - get her to ring the 0800 number or the refuge number

can she get out to make a phone call? the police should be helpful -


This isn't safe at all. I need to know and she needs to know if she will be safe if she goes to the police.
there are no guarantees -she should be safe - the police should arrest the person if they have enough evidence

the RAPE and SEXUAL ABUSE LINE may help her more than the domestic violence line - im not sure - she really needs to ring them

the number for the rape and sexual abuse freephone number is
0808 802 9999
