How does a concerned father get legal help in stopping domestic violence against his daughter if she won’t report it. My daughter is 19 and in a very violent relationship with a *!*!*!*!*!*!*!!!!!. I have recently had a conversation with a friend the her and her boyfriend were living with about the unmentionable violent acts he has been perpetrating on her, such as throwing a hairspray canister so hard at her head that it left a 2 1/2 horrible scar above her left eye, chocking and hitting her, throwing her against the wall, the list goes on. Her friend for fear of the safety for her family asked them to leave and she called to tell me that she truly believes that his violent behavior towards my daughter will culminate with him killing her. What can I do to protect her if she won’t stop seeing him and if she won’t come to me for help. I know what I want to do but that would result in me being thrown in jail….need help!
