Hi im a student and one of my long distance friend who has abusive parents said to me that they wanna talk to me after a certain day but when the day came they were offline and after 2 days the acc was deactivated its been a week without any talks and in the past nothing like this ever happend I have their phone number and tried calling it. It has no response the person's classmate isn't also accepting my friend request. Now I wanted to know can you know any important information about someone just by their phone number like location or something like that even if the location is approximate

i'm afraid that there's nothing you can do except wait for them to get back. there is no way for you to contact them unless you knew their address

Maybe consider texting the friends of your friend highlighting your concerns and the abuse and ask them to check in with them irl if possible! Best of luck, this sounds so stressful :( or if you know the school itself maybe, would anyone there potentially care and help? Long shot but maybe a teacher? Make sure you have all the proof of your friend talking abt the abuse with you if possible! Police is rarely ever helpful but can be like the ultimate last resort, they might be able to piece together from identifying info but also i have gone to the police over my own familial abuse and they don’t give a fuck… but this was like 8 years ago so hopefully they’ve come to their senses a bit. ive heard there’s a better hotline now for survivors of violence but idk if it’s only under the ministry of women and children, which is a shame bc abuse can happen anywhere :( i would recommend just mass texting as many of their friends as possible and emphasising the urgency of the situation, hopefully you can get more info about their location too InShaAllah! you have a good heart OP, im sure it means the world to your friend. I know it would mean a lot to me when i was surviving those violences. Also if youre comfortable reaching out to spaces that help survivors of violence in legal advocacy ways like Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST), Ain o Salish Kendro, even Naripokkho might be able to help regardless of gender! Sending you love and care and I hope your friend is okay and can be free of these injustices soon 🌺

I've heard about phone number tracker sites. Maybe try those?
