Neighbor boy told me about being abused.

My son's friend was over playing outside with my son and another friend. I wasnt paying much attention, just was nearby doing some work in the garage when I heard The tail end of a conversation that sounded like my son's friend was being bullied.I butted in and asked him if he was all right and he then proceeded to tell me about how his dad was pushing him around and slamming him to the ground at soccer because he did not feel like his son was listening to him. He apparently felt like his son was not pulling his weight on the soccer team (this is all from the mouth of a 12 year old, so may not be entirely accurate) in addition to other soccer related stuff and the father ended up calling the coach on the phone from across the field and telling him that his son wanted to quit the team and then, since the boy was dressed for soccer, made his son strip off his uniform and cleats and walk across the field (where his "former" team was practicing) in just his underwear to where his mom was waiting in the parking lot (she had been called by the boy somewhere in this argument and is divorced from the father).I had only met the dad once or twice before but that was enough to know that the guy was an asshole. The mom lives with the son and 2 sisters a couple doors down from me and there does seem to be some neglect in the house, but I dont know her very well.I come from a childhood of neglect and abuse so immediately recognized this as that type of behavior. I told the boy that he was always welcome at our house and if he ever needed to get away he could come over and hang out or get something to eat. Is there something more that I could do? I never had anyone growing up to help me out so dont want to see the same thing happen to this boy. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/34vBr4i
