My main concern would be if she's OK in there by herself all emotional.

If you don't have key to that lock GET ONE immediately. Or better yet NO doors lock in our house but the bathrooms. We were required to have regular doorknobs on all the bedrooms for that reason when we became licensed.

I would get her some therapy to help her. Does she have a therapist? Our daughters is so awesome...she gave us her cell number and we call if anything happens I can't handle. Your FD probably is scared because you called the SW and now she thinks her parents are going to be angry she told. I'm sure there was alot of pressure on her to keep it all a "secret." That is so sad. You should just be there for her which means you shouldn't leave her alone...who knows what she may do. Let her know she's safe there and you will protect her and not let anyone hurt her. First important thing is to get her out of that room to a safe place. Being alone and depressed is a bad thing.

I pray she gets thru this ok. Hang in there and stand by her side. She'll eventually realize you are there for her. I'm sure trusting you is not easy for her right now. And let her know certain "secrets" are not ok to keep such as someone hurting her or her hurting herself.
