Abused? You Need To Press Domestic Violence Charges

GuestPoster — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 14:11:05 +0000

An article from a newspaper in the UK is extolling the virtues of using GPS devices to protect women from their abusers, at the holiday season. It has been proven that the number of attacks increase around the holidays, so the police have devised this system to try and protect some of the known victims of repeated domestic violence.

Now this sounds all well and good, but I have some questions on the subject:

Why are the abusers not in jail if they have abused their spouses repeatedly?
How far away is the closest police car when the panic button is pushed?
Who will protect the lady when the husband is released?
And most of all, what happens after the holidays are over?

I am not saying it is not a good idea; at least they are making an attempt to stop the violence.It seems to be that it is always the victim that has to leave the home and go to a shelter, and start a whole new life, etc. etc. Many women are unable to press domestic violence charges through fear of their spouse, fear of their economic situation, fear for their children and fear and or reluctance to trust the authorities.

Some centers around the world are trying a new approach. They are working in conjunction with the police, social services and health care providers to try and identify people who are being abused. These are women who are afraid to speak up because of their fears. Their idea is to provide more than just temporary shelter for victims of abuse. The goal is to assign more workers to assist the victims of abuse to learn new skills, or to obtain a new job and to be provided with affordable housing.

Now some politicians will immediately start to talk about the cost of a comprehensive venture such as this but they are also the ones who say “we must do something about the problem” The answer to these people is to look at the high cost of domestic abuse, the effect it has on the children, and future generations, and the effect on the community.

Spousal abuse has to stop; domestic violence hurts all of us, but especially the children. We know that children of homes where there is domestic violence grow up with problems of their own, and many times the women’s shelters are seeing second and third generations of children coming through the doors. A young girl who sees her mother abused will very often end up as a victim of abuse herself. She will usually suffer from low self esteem.

A young man who watches his father beat his mother, grows up with a very bad attitude toward women. He often becomes a wife beater himself. If there is any kind of sexual abuse in the home directed toward the children, often the children grow up with some sexual deviancy at least or hatred towards the abuser and the partner of the abuser who did not stop the torture.

We must come up with a better plan and more awareness. Break the silence!

Change Your Life In 30 Days

Worrying yourself about how your life should be is the wrong way to change your life. Thinking things are going to be different if you just give it time is wishful thinking and will not get you anywhere. You can make rapid changes in life though if you follow this guide.

If you want to change your life in 30 days you most certainly can. In order to do so you need to do 3 things: accept 100% responsibility, change your beliefs, take action.

You are responsible for your life, no one else is. This may be hard to accept however it is the truth. No one can make changes for you. This is your life, no one else’s. By accepting 100% responsibility for life as it is you start to take your life back. While others may have done or said things that are hurtful they are not responsible for your life. No matter what others do, it is you that interprets it and reacts to it.

Your actions are a result of your beliefs

Our minds are what generate the perspective we have on life. It is from our experiences that our mind creates beliefs about everything in life. Based upon these beliefs our mind creates thoughts from which our emotions are made and we then take action on.

Looking within and writing down your beliefs based on the most memorable experiences in your life is the best way to find the most empowering or limiting of beliefs.

Action creates change

Hoping, praying, and waiting that things will do nothing for you. It is only through taking action that anything in life will become different, and inaction is also an action. Writing your beliefs down, reading a self help book, or watching a personal development movie is the first action in a series towards making the change you seek. Keep it up.

Teen Depression & Suicide

I do make these videos out of facts I find on the internet and out of my own reading, and experience.

Do not message me “claiming” you made these videos. Please, it’s a waste of time. I think I would know if I made a video or not, and if I took a CLIP of a video, I give props to them. The video includes pictures and facts about depression and suicide. This is a topic very close to my heart. If you do comment, keep them respectful.

Otherwise they will be removed and you will be BLOCKED. BECAUSE OF VERY IMMATURE AND DISRESPECTFUL ACTIVITY GOING ON IN COMMENTS, I WILL BLOCK COMMENTS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
