Why You Need To Report All Domestic Abuse Cases

By Jayne Rutledge


There are many domestic abuse cases, filed in courts. Some children have suffered broken limbs due to beatings from parents. Some spouses end up disabled since their partners mishandled them when arguing. Such cases happen all the time. However, it is an offense to hurt anyone in a manner, which causes physical and emotional pain. There are laws, which address this case, and victims get justice.

When a child does something wrong, parents have the right to discipline them. However, some parents will use the wrong methods, which shall involve pain, and using foul languages. Some adults quarrel, and this leads to hectic confrontations, and eventually a big fight ensues. Some end up with massive injuries, which leave them hospitalized. Many people find violence as the only way to solve different matters at home. However, this leads to pain, separation, and torture and in some cases, murder.

Many people undergoing abuse die alone in silence. They do not want to tell anyone they are suffering. It is an embarrassing situation when everyone notices your bruises, and cannot do anything to assist you. The law offers protection to people, who suffer beatings, and humiliation at home. The court shall decide the penalties depending on depth of injuries, and parties involved.

There are different ways adapted when abusing someone. Denying children food, calling them different name, and humiliating them in front of other people lead to physiological trauma. Some people undergo numerous beatings every day, and this leads to massive injuries on different parts of the body.

There are women who live with husbands who beat them all the time. Some women do not want to divorce since they cannot raise the children alone. Women who do not have jobs have no other option than to stay in an abusive marriage. Some husbands also undergo humiliating situations, and they cannot report the matter. Men find it humiliating when they tell other people their wives beat them. This means they shall suffer alone, and bear the consequences.

There are situations when children go to school with bruises and cannot concentrate in class. In many instances, parents, and nannies bear the responsibility. Many children die in silence since they do not know anywhere to seek assistance. Teachers and adults should monitor children suffering in silence and report to the social worker to start investigations. This prevents the child from suffering while at home.

You do not want to make a mistake when addressing these cases. Some people go forth to report but they do not have evidence. This makes it harder for the victim to have a strong case case. The law gives everyone the chance to lead a free life but have to prove their accusations before making any arrests.

Domestic abuse makes the victim lead a non-social life. It gets harder to mingle with other people to chat since you have injuries, and you do not want people to notice. Some people end up being slaves since they are under the control of the person abusing them. Children grow up weak, stressed and psychologically tortured. It is important to report such events to prevent further damage. Serious cases have led to death, suicide, and psychological trauma. There are times when the victim plans murder to revenge the beatings.
