Domestic violence is not an easy problem to solve. If the victim did not even confide in her own family, who are we going to blame for not intervening and preventing this incident from happening? Certainly moving so far away from family did not help.

My own sister was physically abused badly by her 2nd husband. He owned his own auto repair shop business, but we discovered that he was a Neo-N A Z I who worshiped Adolph H I T L E R and belonged to a Motorcycle Club. They lived in another town in the suburbs, and he was good friends with a sergeant in the local police force.

Unfortunately, he started beating my sis in the late ‘60’s and early 70’s, and there was nothing that could legally be done. Domestic violence laws did not even exist then. When my Dad called their police department to complain that they were allowing this, they put his sergeant friend on the phone, and he told my Dad that it was as a private matter between husband and wife, and was none of his business!!
