Keep a calendar of calls and incidents
Take your child to a counselor to disclose her version and fear. Hire private eye to do a background check on the boyfriend. Hire a lawyer to file for emergency custody.
The defendant listed in restraining order is also the owner of the company which owns the home.

You dont get to decide what his punishment or treatment is once you call the police; the District Attorney decides.
The perpetrator punched me repeatedly in the head and broke his hand and then continued to punch me with the bone protruding out of the hand.
