Who should I go if I fear a child is being hurt by their parent?

Asked by jamms (609points) February 29th, 2008 from iPhone

My girlfriends daughter came back from her dads house today with a large bruise on the face. This is the second unexplained mark on her. She won’t say what happened ‘she just wakes up this way.’ We are in a custody battle and its very hard on her. I don’t want to add stress to her even more than it already is. If I call child welfare they will not find any results because she won’t talk about it. She is always withdrawn and scared to talk around her dad. I need to do something. We go to court in 12 days.
