Venus Stewart,a beautiful,vibrant mother of two young children,went out to her mailbox to put a letter in. They are now searching a near by lake for her body. Her ex husband has been making threats,she told her friend he threatened to kill her & go back for the kids. This happened at 7am this morning.Once again a mother,wife,daughter,sister,aunt..you pick the noun, has been executed by a man that swore a vow to love & protect.The woman was in her pajamas and slippers, there were signs of a struggle & eye witnesses. This is just one of the cases that is getting public attention, while there are hundreds if not thousands of cases we never hear about.When are the law makers going to start protecting women? A restraining order is a joke. I know because I have had them.It is a useless document,it does not protect anyone.I was beaten half to death while my ex was under a restraining order.I finally had to leave the state. My question to any man that has laid his hands on a woman,because she has left the relationship,...is why? What snaps inside of you that makes you think you have the right to harm another? Why do our laws slap the wrists of these neanderthals? People often ask why women stay in this type of abusive relationship.The options are not that great. The woman often has to leave her home, go to a "safe house" or domestic shelter,while the man continues his threats.What is it going to take before our women are protected? Yardley Love, 22 years, old a student. Beaten to death allegedly by her boyfriend.Another case that's in the public eye. There is an epidemic of mammoth proportions and very little is being done to stop it.If you are an abused woman,and you need help,PLEASE,do not settle for the beatings & abuse. PLEASE seek help.If your abuser is making death threats TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY.I have said this before, if you have no one else that can help you. If you can't trust the people in your life(him,his family etc...) If you are afraid to get help in your hometown, reach out to other sources.I can be contacted on twitter @razormuses and I PROMISE I will discreetly help you find the help you need. I have helped several women start over.I had to find my own way out, but I did & I learned a lot.For your sake, for your children's sake..get the hell out! Don't be the next headline.
