What can i do if a friend in another country is being abused?

[Layne Delowsky]

he lives with his mother who is constantly putting him down, and won't let him near his dad.
she also threatened to send him to the Philippians, and I talked with him and I helped diagnose him with A.D.D. which he said explains why he is having trouble in school, and he said his mother is not going to help him with it. She also makes him do chores while she plays Facebook games, then takes credit for doing them.

I live in Canada, and he lives in the USA, but i really want to help him.

what can i do?

First off unless you are a doctor it is illegal to make a diagnosis for someone else. Second you cannot do anything except perhaps give them phone numbers to call for help. If he is in the USA he can talk to a school counselor. So he has to want help to get help. He is old enough to know if he wants help he can get it.
