Help for my riend and her 7yr old Daughter

I need advice on how i can help my girlfriend and her daughter,my girlfriend has a 7year old daughter who at first seemed like any other typical 7year old, when i first met my girlfriend was at church she comes across as kinda loud and scattered like she has so many things going on in her mind that she cant slow down,,ok but i wouldnt have considered that as crazy,well i do beleive that she is in need of therepy i also feel for her and what she is going throgh,she has absolutley no support from her family,they put her downand make her feel worthless,but she keeps tying to win their approval all the time,well now her daughter had told her tha her father had been messing with her in the bad parts when she had went to see him,had its spiraled out of controll becauce when my friend heard this she tried to get help from her parents on what to do and her mother told her not to say anything cause she would loose support for her daughter?? plus she dont beleive that  anything has happened,and since this has happened ive noticed her daughter{my friends} has just been behaving erratic,example:when it was time for her daughter to go to bed she started going crazy and telling her mother she didnt want to and how much she hated her while throwing things and trying to hit her and screaming she wanted her daddy,ive never seen this kind of behavor before,just out of control,well after this happened and my gf told her mother,her mother went and told my friends ex that mygirlfriend was crazy and he needed to get her away from my gf,he was actually able to go get custody of my gf daughter because her own mother even signed the paper saying she was crazy?this was 3weeks ago.her ex said he would let her see her daughter if my gf would not hurt him??{not sure,thats what my gf said}but she could have her for the weekend,ok so far so good,my gf was so happy and i went help her make sure everything went smooth and it did at first,she made big meal and all going good,gf and daughter happy to be together,when they sat down to inner her daughter said she wanted to call her dad,? ok when my girlfriend asked her why shy wanted call her dad she just went beserk and started yelling and hitting her and throwning everything she could get ahold of ,i just know she needs some kind of help but where,what??her dad came and picked her back up and she calmed right down so he said he wasnt going to do anything about it.what do you think,they all need something,i dont know what or how to help my friend, i could just let her figure it out like everyone else but she has no one.

If the friends ex was being accused of molesting his child, he would NOT have got custody and to prove your friend was "crazy" she would've have been examined. That whole situation makes no sense. But I agree with Life360, stay out of it, I know you're only looking out for your friend and if she straight up asks you for help, then take action, but if you're just doing it, just to do it, I'd back up a little bit.

Hi and welcome. Short of the child being abused and reporting directly to the authorities, i think best to stay out of this or you might lose the friendship.
