When something occurs outside of the game, like Discord or even at the Moogle Post, there is really nothing a GM can do. And again, it is not that simple to call law enforcement if you're in the thick of things while you're in an emotionally vulnerable position. A lot of people are not understanding that some people find it incredibly difficult to call law enforcement or help. This has less to do with common sense and more to do with people who are victims being unable, whether emotionally or rationally, to take those steps towards getting out of some situations.
