<human>: I can't find anything anywhere in regards to where to post this, I initially thought of posting it here and then someone agreed with me in findareddit so here we go...

I am a British male who has a 16 year old friend who is being abused both sexually and physically by someone who is family, I think it's her dad.

At first, I can't deny I was sceptical and thought she was just saying it for attention but she sent a picture earlier today and she clearly has a bruised face so I am pretty sure it's legitimate. She's a nice girl who has some problems with trust, confidence and a plethora of other things.

I've tried to tell her she needs to contact the police or seek help online anonymously if she's worried or scared. She refuses and gives the excuse of "I can't, he'll find out and kill me" and "I'm not ready", it's been going on for 4+ years

I don't know her address but I know she lives in North Carolina, obviously I don't want to call and force it for numerous reasons including the potential of it all being a lie and she is just really good at makeup...

What can I do, what do I say, who do I point her towards... any help would much be appreciated.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Friend from North Carolina, USA is being sexually and physically abused by (I think) her dad and won't seek help, I am looking for advice on how to persuade her to get some help and sort it out.
