Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

My boyfriend's dad threatens to kill him everyday. There are 2 witnesses but not any evidence. What can he do? The dad hits him a lot with his gun, rarely leaves marks though. Very recently, his dad hit him in the head and made him pass put and his dad did not bring him to the hospital. No marks are left today. He is 16 years old.

He needs to immediately do two things-go to the police and call child protection services. The two witnesses should provide statements to the police. It would have been much better to have gone while the marks were still there from the gun, but he can still seek help.

Here is a website with the child protection hotline numbers. Nobody can act until someone knows.
