We will begin a chain of events that will spring many people and their resources into action. Experience from past cases, and I am speaking of over 25 years of personal experience, the victim drops the initial charges against the abuser, even when a law enforcement officer files in her behalf. Probably one of the biggest problems is the victim overcoming the thought of not having some form of financial assistance and the feeling they have no where to turn to because of the children. Oh the children, the silent victim's of domestic violence. And what about the fears they have, what about their safety and the violence they have witnessed or even at times been victim of.
Children do learn from their environment.
The Red Oak Police Department is here to help victim's of domestic abuse. You do not have to be afraid any longer. There are people who care about your well being and the well being of your children. Not at all. One of the first lessons the abuser must learn from a domestic violence arrest is, what they have been doing is unacceptable and illegal and it must stop.
