38. If he'd been kept in jail, it wouldn't have happened, no matter what. She called the first time...

The neighbors called the next two times. It was an ongoing crime in progress that was not taken care of. So much is let go under the banner of 'family' or 'domestic.' It's time to stop this diminishment of assault based on place or relationship. Letting these things go on affects all of society ineventually. The perps don't learn; the person hurt is suffering disruption that may lead to unemployment or health problems from stress, much less from the damages of the assault; and any children in the family will be taught a bad example. I've seen this let go and also seen it dealt with very strongly. The more powerful that the intervention is, the better in the cases I've seen.

But RWers call that a police state tactic. Remember the Inforwars fan couple who took their children and fled to Cuba?

Those children had been taken away from them because they were dealing drugs and talking doomsday stuff - possibly they were going to commit murder suicide. The kids' grandmother was taking care of them. Then it was trumpeted on CT radio about how bad social services were - you can bet if he'd been slapping his wife around it would have been 'family values' time again.

There are big problems in all of these cases of children being removed, but this woman could have used some help, serious help to stop this happening. Instead, she and possibly some children are having havoc in their lives first from the perp, second from legislators or council members who were probably against her getting any help anyway.

Of course, we're all just talking, speculating and only see one part of these short stories. You're right, they don't give enough information. Just think how many thousands of times this is happening, and never makes the news...

I'm sad about the state of our society when no one offers any alternatives.
