When a federal court in California blocked the deportation of an undocumented Guatemalan woman this week, the case resonated in Palm Beach County.
Lesly Yajayra Perdomo, 34, insisted that Guatemalan society is so dangerous for women under 40 that, for no other reason than her sex and age, she faced the threat of physical harm if forced to return to her native country. The U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco agreed with enough of her argument that it sent her case back for further review.
In Palm Beach Gardens, Ana Matias, 33, had no trouble understanding Perdomo's plea. She says her former husband repeatedly beat her in both Guatemala and Florida and eventually used the Guatemalan legal system, which she says is biased against women, to take their three children from her.
"Violence against women is bad in the Guatemalan community here, but it is even worse back there," Matias said.

Fine. Then go to Honduras. Or Costa Rica. Or El Salvador. Or...
Anywhere but here.
The men who grow up to be violent have been raised BY WOMWN> It’s up to thiose women to raise their sons differently.
Should be true for muslim women too.
Guatemala is one of the newly “re-Communist” countries. Latin Americans are fleeing these countries in droves. Of course, since our country is turning into a newly Communist country, I don’t know what they’re going to do then.
you cannot run away from your problems, sorry, they are not the exception.
And I suppose the fathers have no input?
The carpetbaggers have turned that part of Florida into an urban Hell.
So upon reading the article I see that it is not some nonspecific blob called “violence” that is hounding and abusing them, it is Guatemalan men.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but the usage of trebuchets will solve this problem right quick. Gosh, how I pine for their use....
Yeah, right. And women who are raped have obviously asked for it. </disgusted sarcasm>
The mother is the primary person in a young child’s life (under noraml circumstances). The mother can raise the child to not be a spoiled and violent/
yes, it should. They can break the cycle.
Yes, she is for the first 2-3 years. After that, the child naturally gravitates more to the father. I don’t disagree that mothers have an influence, but that fathers are the ones that teach and show their sons how a man behaves. If he is abusive, so will they be.
