I bet you anything people will not do what they say they would when the actual moment comes in life. that's how things usually work out. The ideal thing to do, in my opinion, would be to call the cops then get involved so the person would not be fatally injured.
As a serial monogamist with major experience dealing with women, I can tell you women do their share of domestic violence.
And I don't need statistics to prove it. I've got a personal testimony. Have you?
Some may not do what they say (voted) on the poll. I can assure you that I would because I have done so. It wasn't easy to do, but it will be easier next time.
Last year I saw a teen-age boy in a car with a toddler in a car seat in the back. The boy had a belt, doubled, in his hand and was turning back and swishing the belt the little one, threateningly. I did not know if the belt hit the younger one, but I do know that when a teen-ager acts in this way, they have seen it done by others. If they have seen it done by others, they are quite likely to repeat it in similar circumstances. The police spoke to the teenager, and the adult woman who came running out of the store to see why the police were there. Message sent. Hopefully, message received.
The police thanked me, assured me that calling them was exactly the right thing to do. As I said, I'm sure it will be easier to address such incidents the next time.
i witnessed my cousing beat up his kids mother and she didn't want us to call the cops.. she just kept going back 2 him. i would call the cops if i don't intervene. nowadays you get shot or stabbed if you do.. i'd call the cops and record the incident if i could as proof..
My sister was abused over a period of 2-3 years by her boyfriend who later became her babies father. My sister kept trying to get away from him, she even moved into her own house after my niece was born. A friend of hers was dating his cousin, so when ever she spoke to her friend her frined would tell her babies father where she was at.When she moved out of our home, she moved to a two-family flat. Her babies father found out where she lived, got a ladder and climbed up to her apartment and kicked her window in.After this my sister moved back home,he would always threaten her with violence to us if she didn't talk to him.Well on August 1,1990 my sister asked her bibies father to bring my niece home because he had kept her over the weekend( I believe he threatend my sister to keep my niece) anyway he came to the house without my niece. He told my sister the only way she could get my niece back was to come go with him( my sister had not been involved with him for months) she said "NO" he pulled her into the van anyway.My liitle bother who was four at the time witnessed this, I had no idea where my sister was. Just when I started to worry Recieving Hospitial called to say come to hospital right away there's been an accident involving my sister.....When we got to the hospital my sister was BRAIN DEAD, her head was swollen to the size of a huge watermelon,My heart sank! We were 3 years apart my big sister taught me everthing from my ABC,s to how to tie my shoes, she also taught me a life lesson by giving hers, Not to ever accept abuse from anyone!! My sister was only 17 years old, I was 14. That was a horrible and devastating experinence for my family and me. I would have to get involved and call the police if I witnessed someone beig abused be it man or woman.
