Let’s work to stop the abuse

Can you imagine a teenager being dropped off at school witnessing his father slapping and cussing his mother in the presence of other parents and classmates? This scene will leave anyone shocked and hurt, both for the mother and that teenager. Think what about is happening in that home and the psychological effect on the victim and those who see this abuse.

Why can’t we settle our disagreements in a civilized manner? People with anger issues need to seek help instead of taking it out on someone else. It is wrong to abuse anyone. No one has the right to be slapping and kicking another human being.

I believe those who abuse others must be dealt with seriously by our justice system. I urge law-abiding citizens to continue the fight against abuse of not only females but also males.
