Well then ethically, he should be bound to report this. If not, I'd question the friendship. Clearly he told you about the situation. Perhaps it was his subtle way of asking you to help. CYS can always be called anonymously. When that occurs, they are not allowed to reveal the source.
As a victim of abuse, I can tell you that by staying silent, that is not helping this little girl. In fact, it only aids oppression and the abuser more. Hoping that "someone" in her circle of friends and family will intervene makes my heart hurt for that child.
I'm going to step out of this thread now because if I don't, I might say things that I won't be sorry for saying.
