PRESIDENT OBAMA ISSUES DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH PROCLAMATION
Today, President Obama issued a presidential proclamation declaring October 2011 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and urging Americans to speak out against domestic violence. President Obama specifically mentioned The Hotline as a resource to help victims and survivors. Please read the excerpt below, and find the entire proclamation on whitehouse.gov:
During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we recognize the significant achievements we have made in reducing domestic violence in America, and we recommit ourselves to the important work still before us. Despite tremendous progress, an average of three women in America die as a result of domestic violence each day. One in four women and one in thirteen men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. These statistics are even more sobering when we consider that domestic violence often goes unreported.
The ramifications of domestic violence are staggering. Young women are among the most vulnerable, suffering the highest rates of intimate partner violence. Exposure to domestic violence puts our young men and women in danger of long-term physical, psychological, and emotional harm. Children who experience domestic violence are at a higher risk for failure in school, emotional disorders, and substance abuse, and are more likely to perpetuate the cycle of violence themselves later in life.

This is a serious problem in America, guess it always has been.
I remember it from my childhood, 70 years ago.
It seems to me with our knowledge today and medical
help and support that something could improve this
declension of our modern socialistic life styles.
It is a situation that most of us just will
not get involved in and that is a
shame because a good ass
whipping would put
a stop to it!
Do you need help?
When I was married, my wife got mad at me once, I thought she had forgotten about it
when she made me my favorite chocolate cake. Little did I know that the chocolate icing had a lot of ex lax in it. I wonder, was that domestic violence. I know one thing my asshold sure felt abused.
