I hadn't heard from her in a month. Finally heard back. She told me her partner had beaten her up and broke her phone that was why she didn't text back. She then asked if I could give her $15. I did since it isn't that much money.

When I saw her she had a black eye and was sniffling like she was holding back tears. I don't know where she lives but it is in a homeless shelter in the city with partner. Some might assume it is a guy so I should probably mention her partner is a woman. So is there anything I can do?

Why are you asking us? Ask her what she needs and see what you can accommodate.

if she willingly puts herself in that kind of situation, there's nothing you can do until she takes responsibility for herself

I can't speak to her. She told me I can't text her first because if her partner sees it she will think she is cheating on her and break phone again. I kinda asked her if she had any questions for me before she left and she said no but she wiped a tear from her eye as she left.

She has to be the one to make herself leave. It's unfortunate,but it's how these kinds of things always happen.

I don't know where she is located though. I made a topic about this a couple weeks ago but tl:dr- she got kicked out of home and is living in a shelter. I have no idea which one didn't think to ask when I saw her.

next time she asks for money tell her to come by so you can give her some money then go from there.

you might be able to get her some real help.

She's a homeless person? I doubt the cops will do anything, but worth a try. If you can find where she is at, that is.

Still. Call the cops. Tell them what you know. Depending on where you are they might have the resources to look into it further but at the very least they'll make a report, so if in the future anything happens they'll be like "oh well looky what we have here".

Also, that's pretty much all you CAN do, so it's that or nothing.

This, tbh. Calling the cops is a waste of your time honestly.

Talk to her if she would like to press charges against the guy. Have her stay at your house or her parents house for safety.

You didn't read OP. So guess you just read title and gave generic advice ok then.

we'll let it stay we had some fucked up shit as of late. waking up from a zombie dream in which i had to kill a zombie dog which isn't fun and the topper: being locked out of my house for 4 hours yesterday i'll never forget that.

as to help the TC wish he could find the guy and beat him up (option works if there was no such thing as law).

Was on reddit and realized that for missing children cops don't really follow up on it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/9mrrky/123_missing_children_found/

Well that is kinda sad thought cops put more effort in stuff but turns out they don't most of time.

The friend is a female who is dating a female. No male is involved, people.

For TC: can you potentially find her on Facebook? Reverse image search or look up her first name and city or job? That would help you find her full name.

I'm friends with her on FB. It doesn't contain her last name just a nickname. It is her first name followed by Meow Moew. She hasn't made a FB post since January of this year.
