That’s kind of the point… a woman in a DV situation shouldn’t feel like she has to wait for her brother to come save her.Quorra2.0 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:12 amThat’s why we, as a society, need to remember it takes a village. Not only to raise a child but to advocate for children. Doctors, teachers, CPS workers, grandparents, neighbors, people in line at the store seeing a child being yanked, yelled at and slapped. MYOB is all fine and great but in the process of doing this it’s children who are suffering. Now yes, calling CPS because you don’t think your sil is feeding her child enough vegetables or because your ex lets them stay up late totally petty and a myob situation BUT hearing your neighbor beat their child…not a myob situation.BobCobbMagob wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 10:42 amKids are a lot more helpless than adults, and sadly, have to remain more helpless than adults.
That’s one of the reasons severe child abuse is one of the most unforgivable crimes…
Perhaps the quote is not trying to speak for children, but to speak to adults.
I feel this quote must be taken out of context somewhere. As someone in the military, he should be extremely aware that those willing to commit the most heinous acts are not deterred by a single person, even one armed. A woman of DV isn’t going to strike fear into her abuser on her own, but her neighbor, her daddy, her brothers , sisters, mother, uncle, aunts THATs a huge part of why most abusers start with isolation.
It would go a lot further to stop domestic violence to completely empower a woman before she even enters into a relationship, and have the knowledge to fully defend herself before she even goes out on the first date… violent men chose specific women as partners because they know they can eventually control them. This is more about teaching a potential victim how to avoid being a target.
