If Gretchen was a close friend of mine, I would definitely do everything I could to help her out. I would feel like it was up to me to save her life, especially if I was the only one that she told. I would try to comfort her and make her feel loved. I think Gretchen should try to come up with some hard evidence of her dad abusing her, and take it to the police. That way her father would be put in jail and could not harm her any more. With hard evidence, the police would have to do something about it, and they could not just "keep an eye out". There really is not another option for Gretchen at this point. She can not stand up to her father, she can not tell her teachers about it, and she can not try to run away, because if her father found out about any of this he would hurt her very badly and might even kill her. She has to take the right steps to do something permanent and drastic.
