The Ripple Effect of Battered Women

This is the story of a young boy who watched in horror as his Mom was beaten, again and again.  And this is the story of the lengths that someone will go to, to make to the terrorizing beatings stop.

Of course this brings up many other questions, like . . .

When do the beatings start?

Why would anyone stick around after that first one?

Why do some women feel like any man, no matter how bad they are treated, is better than no man?

How many times does someone have to be mistreated to decide that enough is enough?

Is it the shame that victims feel that keeps them quiet?

Or, is it the threat of even more violence if these horrors are revealed that makes them mum?

Some how, some way, we must expose this behavior by uncovering it and hope that the victims have the courage to step away and stay away.

And . . . without a doubt, the aggressors must be punished.

My recommendation?

A public flogging, to shame them and beat the sh*t out of them.

Please pardon my French.
