And quite often you just don't know its happening until circumstances like this arise.phishezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328265950758191175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12709723.post-75771963585737410212008-10-25T21:24:00.000-04:002008-10-25T21:24:00.000-04:00For some reason that I do not understand a lot of ...For some reason that I do not understand a lot of women refuse to report their husbands.

Divorced him, too, and he only hit me once, but that was one too many. <BR/><BR/>I think that to a lot of women, any relationship is better than none at all. My fear was not so much for myself but my two daughters. Because if I'd let him get away with assaulting me, they'd have been next and I wasn't having that.Puss-in-Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313418336654760327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12709723.post-17487323325423667702008-10-25T19:03:00.000-04:002008-10-25T19:03:00.000-04:00But we are making progress.

We have come a long way from that.Dr.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752941912945095736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12709723.post-14331111451896212492008-10-25T18:51:00.000-04:002008-10-25T18:51:00.000-04:00Thanks for bringing this up, Nick.Thanks for bringing this up, Nick.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996426286997454518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12709723.post-71633874579404245402008-10-25T14:57:00.000-04:002008-10-25T14:57:00.000-04:00Thomas: Yes, it is.

Of course, I’ve primarily come in contact with domestic violence situations in my professional roles, so in all of them the prep had been indentified—although prosecution hasn’t always taken place. <BR/><BR/>I many jurisdictions arrests and prosecution doesn’t take place unless the victim signs a complaint against the perpetrator. In the military, the victim doesn’t have to do that. <BR/><BR/>Also, in Kentucky, an officer of the law can place charges against the preperator even if the victim refuses to sign a complaint. I believe that that’s great. <BR/><BR/>In domestic violence case, the victims often refuse to press charges and even when they do they often later recant—until the next time they are battered and often they again withdraw their complaints.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939152657551690867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12709723.post-22891858292997491702008-10-25T13:34:00.000-04:002008-10-25T13:34:00.000-04:00Unfortunately, the only really unusual part of the...Unfortunately, the only really unusual part of the story is that the Bad Guy was caught and punished.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
