I agree with Darnell. Assuming she opts to stay in the US with her child, she is qualified to file for AOS. However, this will require the participation of her husband. Another option is to take the VAWA route. The VAWA allows certain persons (spouses, children and parents) to file immigration petitions for themselves without involving their USC spouse, parent or descendant. The USCIS website provides for a hotline number to call in VAWA cases available here http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=b85c3e4d77d73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=b85c3e4d77d73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

If this behavior persists she should really consider leaving her husband's home for her and her child's safety. Also, for each incident she should consider filing a police/incident report to document the abuse. These records will be helpful when she decides to take any action in court later on, or even file her own immigration petitions. She should also consider contacting any friends or relatives that could house her and her child in the meantime. Filipinos usually have a network of relatives and friends in the US that are willing to help in situations like this.

Good tips for protecting her and the child! At the very least, if she's afraid to go to the police or unable to leave the house to do so, she should keep a personal log with dates and details of each incident. This can also be used in the future. It's not as solid of proof as an incident report, but still acceptable in court.

If you give me a better idea of where she is, at least the state, I can look up some resources to give you. I have logs of state and national organizations that offer victim care.

I cant even reach her now and I am super worried.

You can call the sherrif's office in her city and inquire for what services they have available, explain a bit about what's going on, without revealing names. keep that in mind as you are seeking 'local info and guidance'.
