On todays show, it is just me today spouting some staggering statistics on Domestic Violence.  

I can't even with this...its is so heart breaking to hear and know that our legal system is broken.  we need to stop the violence.

Bottom Line

Despite promising it “will never happen again,” in most cases, the abuser will not change, and the only way to end the abuse is for the victim to end the relationship. Unfortunately, the most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when the victim tries to leave. That is when they are most likely to be seriously injured or even killed by the abuser, so it is important to get the help you need to safely escape harm. Homicide is one of the top 10 causes of death for women aged 20-44, and nearly half of female victims are killed by a current or former male intimate partner.

If you are in an abusive relationship, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at any time of day or night to speak to someone trained to help you. The Hotline operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All calls are confidential and anonymous, and interpreter services are available for more than 170 languages.
