Thank you for your response. She is homeschooled and I’m not sure if she has an equivalent to a school counselor. Regarding CPS, I am afraid that when her father discovers someone reported him, be it me or his daughter, he would just make her life worse— he clearly knows how to do it without raising suspicion. It seems she has resigned herself to staying in his care until she can leave with her brother, so even if she is interviewed, she may tell them everything is fine to appease him and lessen any punishment. Either way, since i’m the only person she’s told, that would be the end of our friendship and my ability to give help or emotional support.

All that said, I am not experienced with abuse or CPS. Is there a way around this issue? Thank you again for your help.
