Domestic violence is often shielded from public view. Usually, we only hear it muffled through walls or see it manifested in the faded yellow and purple bruises of a woman who walked into a wall or fell down the stairs.

The answer isn't VAWA or any government intervention.
The answer is strong, Christ-centered families built on the ordinance of marriage.
Very true. This reminds me of the testimony of Archbishop Charles Chaput (at the time) to a Senate Committee regarding Columbine .....
He died so we might live.

Yeah, but then we would be imposing our narrow-minded opinions on others. After all, what's right for us isn't necessarily right for them. /sarc
The ordinance of a thousand prayer warriors in the name of Jesus.
The ordinance of Golgotha.
The ordinance of the Son of Man, the great I AM, Chirst in you -
The hope of Glory.
What’s surprising is that we have decades of social science proving the Ten Commandments correct. Pile on the teachings of Jesus Christ and secularism is utterly condemned, but we’re wrong?
I apologize from deviating from the debate, but the battle is over, Christ rose from the dead.
So the photog saw that she was about to get a beating and the little girl entered the scene for more dangerous possibilities and the photog just kept snapping pics?!
Never mind intervening to try and stop the abuse, it's more important to document it as a photojournalist.
Humanity FAIL
Exactly. Just keep taking the photos. Oh, but she was just trying to help other women. What a bunch of baloney.
It is just so infuriating the way these dopes try to portray battered women as having no control over their own destiny. The only people I feel sorry for are the poor children, the only ones that have no choice in all of this.
And now this tramp has rejoined her husband who is in the military. I wonder how long that will last.
Long after the kids are gone, the husband and wife will be there. If they have not been serving each other as Christ intended and laid out in Ephesians 25, they will enjoy their final days. And have progeny that will know the importance of the authorative head of the household, the Christ-husband-wife unit.
Because people WILL NOT accept the authority, GRACE, and mercy of Christ; rather choose to live in FEAR and dependency on government, being tied to their mama’s pantybands, to a certain locale,or whatever else they worship, all these sorts of things continue. - THIS is ALL going to be OVER soon, and very soon; and what we’ve always thought was important will be a non-issue, soon, and very soon. FEAR NOT!!
The Kingdom is coming; oh tell ye the story - God’s banner exalted shall be; the earth shall be full of His knowledge and glory, as the waters that cover the sea!
If they have not been serving each other as Christ intended
I do not agree with anything that you said. The mother should show her husband proper respect as head of the household and should teach her children to do the same.
It is obvious that this woman does not give a tinker’s darn about her children, or she would not have shacked up with the ex-con that beat her up. In this action, she also chose to dishonor her husband and her marriage.
While the couple should concentrate on making their marriage the center of it all, they must, also, make sure that the decisions they make will benefit the welfare of their children and not harm them. Choices such as mommy’s shacking up with some thug would fall into the latter category.
Believe me, I know what you mean when you speak of children who have been raised with a false sense of entitlement, as I used to teach high school.
I agree that the mother should show respect for the husband, and submit accordingly, but the husband also has the duty and obligation to serve her as Christ served the church, with sacrifice, as pointed out in Ephesians. If they do this, then the welfare of the children will more than likely be taken care of, as both parents will raise them with the ultimate show of love for a child, discipline and limits.
Your point about mommy shacking up is well taken. I was basing my comment on the supposition that once with said thug, she was going to make a proper go of it, and "act" like a couple should act. Of course, the relationship was doomed from the start, as it was not Christ-centric, and was all about each other's own needs. And yes, her first mistake was dishonoring her husband, and I pray that she has learned her lesson and that God will bless the reuniting of that family. It will be hard, and God will be necessary, because much forgiveness and grace will have to take place.
When all else fails, the second amendment kicks in. That monster had to sleep sometime and that is why God made chain saws.
If you don’t want to end up killing a monster or being killed by one, don’t head down the spookey path of life. The slut thang may be gangsta “cool” but monsters and their violence is not pretty in the end.
