Most people do not know when they should contact the Child Protective Services(CPS). This is a guidline that will help you to know when and how you should file a report with them.

If a child or adult is being physically abused, don't hesitate, call 911 as soon as possible. Once you call, an officer will arrive shortly to determine the abuse and if they need to remove the person from the home. The police officer will usually arrive with a case worker. The case worker is the one who usually exams the child.

Many people see my constant, happy smile and make instant assumptions about me and my past. However, my childhood was a pretty traumatic one. In the bad old days, as I call them, I would pass a mirror, momentarily liked what I saw but then suddenly, and inexplicably, would start telling myself that I was 'crap', that I 'hated' myself and I was 'pathetic'. I had buried my trauma deep inside me, refusing to face them and, slowly, it took its toll in a continuous lack of self-love and low self-esteem. Gradually, and painfully, I learned that I had to sort out my past, face it and move on, and then begin the slow process of self-love. The wonderful result is clear to see now.

I know that other people must be aware of this problem, but like most, I didn't really pay attention until it hit close to home.
I have a male friend who is trying to escape a physically abusive wife. Now there's a scenerio you're not confronted with every day. Typically, we have the reverse thrust into faces almost constantly by the media.
I have been placing calls and searching the net only to discover that there isn't much in the way of support for the guys out there. I was on the verge of starting a local chapter of an online abuse network, but I sadly lack even the $15 dollars needed to become a local chapter. Not to mention lacking three people to help form a board. Being a single mom definitely has plenty of downsides.

Why does domestic violence seem to be on the increase? Why is it that men think they have the right to humiliate women, and hit, punch or other wise cause them pain?

One would think that we have progressed a lot since the caveman days, but it still seems that some men seem to think that their role is to demand their wife or partner to obey.

It is extra ordinary that this behaviour continues - and it is amazing that stories of most inhumane behaviour persist in our communities.

I've always said that there are two things that do not deserve second chances...beating and cheating. A man who hits will hit again and a man who cheats will cheat again.

We keep telling her that the next time he's going to kill her, but she insists that she still loves him. How can you love someone you are afraid of? How can you be with someone knowing that your life could be in danger?

I’ve read it often. I see it written and heard it in the media, as if someone should be excused for his/her behaviour because they were abused.

Thousands, probably millions, of people were abused as children. Despite our laws and all sorts of political and community brains have worked in various ways to make changes so that there is less abuse, it continues. Unfortunately, there is a perception that there is more violence, more people in trouble, and the excuse is “he/she was abused as a child.�?
