Male friend in abusive relationship

[arisfurwi]

Hi I need some help. I have a male friend who is in an abusive relationship, he's come clean because he wants to leave peacefully for their young son. She’s just reset all his iPhone and logged in with her iCloud so he can’t do anything on his phone apart from text without being seen. She has his driving license and passport, all his family live far away. All his wages even go to her bank account now, she even intercepts all his post and opens it. Makes threats if he tries to live with regards to their son, plus he would have no access to his money. Any advice?

Hiya yes I would advise him to get in touch with a DV service in his local area, get a worker and have her do a full assessment of the risks so that she can tease out all of the problems and get started in resolving them with him, using the law and children's services. Good luck.

Thank you! Will let him know

He should contact Mankind website here
I would also urge him to contact the police on 101. They can then escort him while he gets his paperwork.
He needs to report all of this to them - as quickly as possible.
I'd also suggest he opens a new bank account and gets his wages put in there. I know that's hard without all the paperwork, which is why he needs the police.
I really hope he can get away from this vile human being.
It won't be peaceful.
He needs to understand that.
No abuser likes to lose control and she will make it all as difficult as possible. There is not getting away from that fact.
He needs to also make this real. Tell family and friends.

He needs some love and support right now and they can offer it.
You just need to be there when he needs you.
You are a good friend.
