diomestic violence and my dad

okay i was at my grandma's house and i saw my sister runnin outside and my dad after her....he pulled her hair and twisted her around and pushed her twice into the house...when i got home she told me what happened in the house....she was upstairs changin and he told her to come outside so she said okay and when she did he was like go mow the yard and she said no and when she went to go back upstairs he pushed her (she was on the second step) and she almost fell into the rocking chair...all the times he pushed her so almost fell but caught herself so wat do i do? should i take his side or hers? she shouldnt have said no but he shouldnt have pushed her either...and she said next time she was goin to call the cops...and she wants to move into her friends house and my mom is pretty much takin my dads side...now im kinda scared to say no to him. plz help

is pushin considered domestic violence...she didnt fall though so im guessin it wasnt that hard of a push

You dad had no right to strike out at your sister. This is a tough question, and only you can really know the answer for it. Taking sides in family is hard, but he shouldn't have acted the way that he did cause she said no about mowing the lawn. Maybe she shouldn't have told him no, but he shouldn't have hit her... He is more in the wrong then she is.
