If DFS has declined to assist your friend, then perhaps things are not as bad as she portrays them to you. Nearly all fifteen year olds dislike their parents. Pregnant women are more emotional and volatile then other women. Combine being fifteen and pregnant and the efects may be multiplied. Be her friend. offer nutritious food to her.

help avoid spending too much time at home. If her mother gets violent, advise your friend to call the police.

Good luck
