even if they are unwilling to report it - or press charges - the state will pick up charges against them, once the police have been informed they can't get out of it .

You can report it, and there will be a minor follow-up investigation. However, if neither is willing to push charges or admit that something is happening, it will pretty much end right there.

You could also contact a battered women's shelter for advice. They specialize in handling these types of situations and may provide advice on how to get your friend to seek help.

Call the cops when they are fighting, so they can get caught in the act. It wouldn't make sense to call the cops few days later. None of them would be willing to talk to the cops after they've forgotten what happened.

Talk to the police. Domestic abuse always escalates. Don't wait until it's too late.

Yes CALL THE POLICE or therapy or go to somewhere to give you better advice because God forbid, somebody could get hurt bad or killed or suicide. IT HAPPENS, TRUST ME!!!!
