Today it was reported that Larissa Brown who had complained about domestic violence that she had experienced by her ex partner, J williams, was being bullied on the social networking site "Facebook". When will people get it - there is no excuse for any kind of domestic abuse and being a so called celebrity does not give you any licence to indulge in this behaviour. It is accepted the person in this case, J Williams, has acknowledged his behaviour and how wrong it is and this is a big step in overcoming a problem. I admire him for having the guts to do this. Now of course he has to overcome the problem - clearly he appears to be someone who will and that is encouraging and an example to others.
It has been interesting to see some people have left the Crimestoppers Facebook site when I have raised this issue. Clearly it supports my view that many in society don't want to comfront an issue that is limiting the lives of many individuals - partners and children. What right does anyone have to have this impact on others. They have none. If nothing is done to combat the problem a new generation of abusers will be produced. Sticking one's head in the sand will not make the behaviour go away. Education, tolerance, less alcohol and eliminating illegal drug use, and being held accountable for your actions will eventuately reduce and eliminate the problem.
