Brave 17-Year-Old Reported Animal Abuse But Is Now Afraid To Go To Court

Hello friends, we hope you are doing well. We're going to take a few minutes and shift your focus away from adorable memes to a more serious animal-related topic; animal abuse. We understand that this may be a triggering topic and perhaps one that not everyone is able to handle. But if we don't talk about it, then who will? 

We came across a Reddit thread where a 17-year old reported dog abuse just across the street from them. Judging by the context provided, this seems to be a reoccurring thing in the household. The teenager was clearly shaken by the situation, and understandably so. Reporting abuse isn't always easy, but oh how necessary! Whether it's the abuse of humans or animals, we must always use our voices and moral compasses to do the right thing. Especially, if the party being abused isn't capable of doing so themselves. What follows are replies from fellow Redditors as well as advice for going to court.
