My friend's mother is an emotionally abusive drug user who has threatened to harm her child multiple times. Earlier today, she had gotten into an argument with her mom that resulted in her mom trying to hit her with her car. My friend called the police and called me right after, so I heard the entire conversation with the police. The chief of police in our local area was sent. My friend told the police that there were drugs in the house, that her mom has threatened to kill her recently by speeding on the highway saying "I'm going to kill us both," and that her mom has chased her boyfriend with a knife threatening to kill him. Her mom told the cops "My daughter is just throwing a tantrum because she doesn't want to do what I say." The cops believed her and did nothing but tell my friend to go stay at someone else's house for tonight. This is not the first time the police have been called to the house over something like this, and even neighbors and friends have vouched for her that her mom is not fit to be a parent, but the cops have done nothing. What can I do? I have witnessed her mother smoking weed in her house and while driving with me and my friend in the car, and I have witnessed my friend's mom have mental breakdowns that result in her crying and screaming for seemingly no reason. I believe that she has some type of mental illness. What can I do to get my friend out of that house? If it helps, my friend's grandmother is willing to let her stay with her, but her mom won't allow it.
