  2. It goes unnoticed most of the time. People put blinders on when something ugly like DV is nearby. PPl listed to that woman in NYC get murdered and raped and did not even call the police,

    Police come to scenes and just "separate" the two fighting ppl .. there isnt alot of sensitivity training in small town police. Some towns are taking it more seriously and a few have websites on how to get help...

    Thank God some are hearing our voices. We have to speak for the ones who no longer have a voice.
