Criminal Cases: Professional Intervention

     Abusing another is rewarding for certain, usually very insecure, individuals. It's dangerous for a victim to make an ineffective effort to end abuse, particularly physical abuse. Once an abuser knows their victim has tried to make them stop, and can't, they develop even more power and become more intimidating and dangerous.

     Many abused people are shocked to discover themselves in such a fearful and difficult situation. They often don't think they have the courage or strength to put an end to it themselves. But when they finally get the system involved, they are at last on a path that can get them out of their personal turmoil.

      Let the authorities deal with the abuser! The police are a great ally, as are attorneys and the court system. Use them when you need to. You could be saving your own life, or your children's lives, and you most certainly will be increasing the quality and happiness of life of everyone concerned.
