My friend at college is planning to drop out of college due to personal issues.

First year and first sem, my friend with whom i like to live the most mid way decided to drop out of college because of physical and mental abuse from his home(hes a day scholar). His family apparently has an established real estate business which he is thinking to continue at this mere age. He is doing so just to be away from his toxic parents and their torture. He went though this from god knows what time. I have a feeling that this might be a bad decision and im convincing him not to take this step but i didnt even barely penetrate his mind. What do i do? Im really scared what turn this is going to take.
