There’s no need for domestic violence…if you have to beat on one another whats the point in being together…...Enough said!

Although I know people will always have their own opinions, I know this woman very well and, of course, the whole story has many more sides to it than depicted here. Considering what has happened in the past within her life, which none of you know, I feel like she was wrongly called out to be made an ‘example’ of. Very wrongly!!! So make your comments if you will, but just know it’s all about redemption…from which you can draw your own conclusions.

Hahaha, mustuknow. If this is news, how come that psychotic girl that attacked the young Wal-mart employee in the garden center with a razor blade, cutting her arm and face so badly that she needed a plastic surgeon, didn’t make the news?

You got that right!It is news and you don’t hear it nearly enough.I personally am a victim of domestic violence.I am six foot three and my ex is about five six.She has bitten me,clawed my eye out,stabbed me with an ink pen and a number of other assaults on my person.Nobody wants to recognize the pain and suffering she has inflicted on me and our children..More of these violent women need to be exposed and in the news.If my ex had been arrested for every incident she would probably be in jail for a long time.I chose not to prosecute,or even call the law in most of these incidents therefore enabling her to continue on.Now she faces jail time for a similar incident with her own brother while wreaking havoc on our entire family including two beautiful children,DHR,the court system,you name it.Report domeatic abuse.

It is news when the police have to come to your home for a disturbance, witness someone with injuries apparently from another and when the officers attempt to talk to or take into custody the possible offender and she proceeds to violently strike at them….. Yeah I think it qualifies as news.
