• How would you deal with a friend or family member that is being abused?

  First, if you can report it, REPORT IT.  Forget the fact that this particular person may have asked you not to report it.  We have an obligation to each other to help each other in these dire times of need.  Unfortunately, physical and sexual abuse and neglect are severely underreported in this country because (1) the victim takes the blame and refuses to report it himself or herself and (2) other people who know about this incident do not report it themselves because they do not think they have the right.

   

  Second, pray of course.  However, do not just pray when you know you can do more.

  
  

  I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
