For people that say why she doesn't report it, especially if you don't know what is actually happening at her house there are things you can't take at face value and multiple reason why she wouldn't want to report it and maybe just power through it till she can finish school and get a job so she can leave.
So if you go to related manga you will know what is happening which leads to some possible reasons, her mother is selling naked pictures of her, forcing her to do it and if she doesn't co-operate she beats the shit out of her.
For now we can assume (and that's all we will be doing since the manga doesn't say things about it but they are mostly possible) she didn't get raped yet (if we trust nothing else happened in some second layer lore under that "related" manga attached to this one) as the mom probably doesn't want to risk it that much, this could create many more risks of someone actually reporting it and connecting the mother to it, while selling pictures is probably mostly anonymous and can give some chances of avoiding jail if you force the child to say what you want. (she would most likely still be found guilty but that could be the reason in her mind)
As for the police we have some things to think about:
- maybe teachers did ask her mom in the past what is happening, her mom can just claim that girl is a problem child, especially if she is a single mom and claim she gets into fights in the area often, maybe that there are some aggressive kids in the area or some other excuse that could lead to teachers not wanting to get involved so much or let their guard down a little when the kid herself is forced to confirm such excuse
(you have to think about what some teachers are like and police, in real life there were many cases of teachers and people in the some area thinking everything was fine while a child was getting abused or raped at home, ofc. to my knowledge it wasn't as extreme where you could see that child's face being in state like that, other than some bruises on the body but i did give some plausible excuses above)
- the girl doesn't want to get police involved because of the pictures, even before she warmed up to the MC that would create a risk of the pictures leaking into the public which could not only destroy her life in the place she lives now but follow her even when they take her away and now adding to that we have MC that she probably doesn't want to know about them either, she might think he would abandon her if he knew too or it's just too shameful
I hope everything is going to be fine in the end but running away at their age will probably alert not only their or at least his parents but also the school and THEN the police will get involved for sure which might help get the problem fixed if they get found and start talking but also start the process mentioned above which she doesn't want.
