Raped with baby in arms

My friend has just come and told me she was raped by a stranger at knife point while she held her 2 month old baby in her arms..she was told if she screamed the babys throat would be cut.. my problem is i dont know if i should believe her or not..
she has had a history of saying shed had a miscarriage at 20 something weeks but noone knew she was even pregnant and shes told me shes also slept with a teacher at our old school and he had made her do it for good grades..????

another one is that her baby has 6 possible fathers al of which she doesnt know their last name..

If she is in trouble i would need to help her but she has told so many lies im not sure what is true anymore.. what would you do?

I did confront her bt she insists its all true.. I also said i do not believe her and she will need to go to the police is she is telling the truth.. But she isnt going. I feel bad for the child that they have to grow up i a situation like this and if it is all true both her and the baby could be in danger of health rishk..

I feel like i have done all i can but im thinking of contacting the local police station to send someone out to talk to her. I will tell them everything she has told me and show here all the letters and notes shes written me talking about it.

Do you think thats a good idea..

Yeah Anni that's a big WOW!!!  I'm a guy but would imagine that type of incident would cause serious post-trama stress.  If she was calm and collected when she told u, i'd have a hard time believing it.  Especially if she doesn't want to report it.  It might be hard but rockrose has a point, there's too much in life for u to worry about for yourself, the fact u spent ur time on here, if she's lying, its taking up too much of ur emotional we'll being.

anni,  I wouldn't be friends with someone who,  if they told me they were raped at knifepoint,  I maybe would be skeptical.

Life's short.  You don't have to continue friendships with people who you believe to be habitual liars.

Your instinct tells you she is lying. I would go with that. Tell her what you think and suggest she get help.

Tell your friend to report it, it could be true and he will do it again to another, they will soon find out if she is lying, but first she has to tell the authorties,you can be supportive because if its not true she needs help and counselling ...good luck .

I would tell her exactly what you just told us, and tell her that you don't know what you can do for her, she needs professionals such as police, etc.  id she ever go to the police or call her doctor or anyhing?  If she didn't di that, i would make sure that baby  is al right, thouth.  If she had her baby in her arms while this was happening, you'd think that she woudl want to haveher checked out,   I would tell her that you are skeptical becaue of all her lies.  I would be nice about it, I would approach her with maybe going to see someone.

She should have called the police and went to the ER. Unless she follows up on this, it would be very hard to take her seriously with her history. I just cannot believe something this bad happens and the police are not notified.

Try to get her to report this to the Police and let them do the checking. Also suggest her to go and see her Gp for counselling.
