Domestic Violence: What do you do?
Got word a few weeks ago a woman I grew up with died mysteriously in a drowning. Cops ain't picked up the suspect but she did have like over 100 domestic violence calls that the cops didn't arrest her husband over for some reason yet to be explained.
I've run into this 'beating the wife/girlfriend' crap 20 years ago. I couldn't believe how dumb the laws were. If a woman got beaten by her husband/boyfriend and she pressed charges, all she got was a 'court order of protection'. Like a piece of paper is gonna stop a maniac?
So we fought back then to get the laws changed. Both men and women victims now when reporting usually someone gets hauled away til the matter gets resolved.
That still doesn't solve the problem though. Many women are too scared to report abuse. What do you do?
