Basically a friend in a group chat I’m in is suffering under abusive parents, specifically a mother who tends to beat her. The problem is that she lives in Dubai, which as I understand it is a humanitarian hellscape, and the second problem is that she’s still legally a minor, so it’s not just a question of getting her out of there. Is there anything that can be done in such a situation?

      As another did, I also feel the need to ask: do you know This person? Like in real life? Are you 100% sure they are who they say they are and that this is all real?

      This shit happens all the time, I am not doubting their story inherently. But unfortunately there are a lot of people out there who will play a con as long as they need to to extract money out of people who are sympathetic.

      Again I am not calling into question the validity of your story, it’s that I don’t know anything about you or them, so I just want to get that out loud.
