My friend just told me her dad beats her sometimes. Like yesterday she was at the wrong spot for him to pick her up from work so he beat her. She said she doesn't want to call 241-kids because shes afraid of what he will do if they don't do anything about it and he finds out she called. I could seriously kill this guy right now...I never liked him.
What should i do?

Uhhhh, no brainer here. Call an authority and have them check it out. It may get ugly for awhile, but ultimately your friend will appreciate your concern.
BTW, do not confront this guy, and don't tell your friend. This will make it easier for her to deal with. You can tell her when things settle down (may take years).

Call the police - IMMEDIATELY. Then give me five minutes alone with him. Just five, that's all I'll need.

Call the authorities, but dont let ANYONE know you were the one that called... That way the blame won't be put on anyone...
Everyone says "Call the authorities"
but i think you should really think about the situation before hand...
if she's like 17 or 18 i'd call the authorities and tell her to move away...or not call the authorities but tell her to sever all times with her father and move away.
if she's under 17 or 18 i'd call the authorities immedietely and inform them of whats going on. She's in for a dangerous few more years then.
I think the right thing is to call the authorites, however, sometimes this isn't the best way out as someone mentioned if nothing happens she will be in massive trouble.

Call the authorities. Make SURE she can prove it. If she can prove that her father beat her, then she'll be out of there faster than you can say...
Shes 15
I just talked to her again. She said she wants out of her house but she doesn't want me to tell anyone. Im goin tell my mom tonight when she gets home from work and have her call the police.
Will she still be able to stay with her mom?

DEFINATELY take some sort of action.
If he's beating here, the possibility for other things such as child molestation and other abusive behavior also inrease statistically significantly.
I think talking to your mom about it is a good idea.

does she get any noticeable bruises? if she does tell her to show one of her teacher, it might be better if a teacher stepped in, in order for you or your family to come out clean.

She said there nothing really noticeable. Theres a bruise on like the top of her head where hair is covering it and her earring is halfway ripped out.

DO CONTACT AUTHORITIES.
Its not up to anybody but the cops to press charges (hopefully you have that law around there) - a really nice law.
There is nothing good that can come from this and you never have to let her know that you were the one who pursued the matter legally. Plus, even if she did ever know its for the better. No matter her reaction from finding out that you contacted the cops its for the better.
because shes afraid of what he will do if they don't do anything about it and he finds out she called Perhaps somebody can lie and claim a neighbor heard. Anyway that reason you just gave is all the more reason why something has to be done.

civillians can press charges both criminally and in civil court for punitive damages.

Before calling my statement a load of crap perhaps you could bother to try and understand what I said. I maybe lacked perfect wording but the gist of what I was saying is that even if this girl doesn't want to press charges against her dad thanks to new laws in many areas she no longer has to; the cops can if they like. In the past an abused party had to press charges or else the abuser could get off. Now the cops can do it because abused people often don't want to.

Ahh...i understand....it was worded wrong... and thus i misunderstood it. 
But hasn't that law been enacted for quite awhile? Thats the same law that teachers fall under too...

<< I could seriously kill this guy right now...I never liked him. >>
You and me both lets pay him a visit and *adjust* his attitude.
Don't really know what her options are except to find a foster family to live with or *accidently* push the pop in front of a bus.
Is there a way to find out if we have that law here in Cincinnati, OH. I know she won't press charges.

Not sure how long law been around - yeah re-reading what I said I can see how it was easily misinterpreted!
Skull I dunno where but I'm sure somebody here knows it. Its the ticket man If she won't press charges unless she can easily hide it from the police after they are called then hopefully they can press charges themselves and her dad will get whats coming to him (well, at least whats legal anyway...).
