I (17M) have an online friend (14M) who’s from a middle eastern country, his ethnicity is asian, he is mixed asian, yk, and I am an Asian my self,
The thing is that guy go through intense child abuse from his parents, like he is 14 and do all the things in his house, cleaning, making food, cleaning toilet and ain’t even allowed to go outside, the thing is, if he don’t do anything his parents especially his mother will beat him,
Before, his dad used to give him money for the chores but now he don’t even give him money, some days ago, he accidentally broke a plate, he even cleaned everything, but his mother beaten him up with wip, that’s so horrible and disgusting, who the hell to this to their kid,
His father is now saying him to stop studying and stuff, I told him to call child abuse, he said he did an year ago, his parents locked him up in his room and talked with police,
I try to be there for him, help him and comfort him in anyway but idk what to do?

I’m so sorry you’re going through all this. No one deserves to be treated like that not ever. What your parents are doing is abuse, not discipline, and it’s not your fault.
I know you’ve tried calling for help before, and that makes it even more unfair and scary. But please know this: you’re strong for surviving this every day, and I’ll always be here for you. You’re not alone, and I’ll support you however I can.
If you ever feel like you’re in real danger, please try to reach out to a teacher, a trusted adult, or even a child protection line again. I know that’s hard, but your safety matters more than anything.
You don’t deserve this. You deserve love, care, and a chance to just be a kid.
Maybe talk about this with a trusted adult, both of you. If they are allowed to go outside then they could potentially seek help, just do so when sure you will get help, and on your side you could ask a parent or smthn like that to help you guide you and them through this situation
I will be frank with you.
You can’t do anything about his situation.
Unless you are able to physically go there and help him out, countries like those are very hard to enforce “modern” values, especially online.
There is a possibility there are online support groups that you can reach out to, but I have no how to contact those or if they even exist.
I’d tell him to keep calling. At some point the parent would be caught off guard or be lazy in covering their tracks
