A woman is more likely to be assaulted, raped, injured or murdered by a man than by any other type of assailant. In the United States 2 million to 4 million women are abused by male husbands or partners every year. Thousands of women are killed and many of them are severely physically assaulted. Statistics such as these are phenomenal. Domestic abuse appears not only with violence, but it is very prevalent in psychological abuse. Domestic violence is widespread through the United States, mostly due to fear caused by the abuser. The problem is recognized in the United States and much is being done to correct this problem. The statistics of women and domestic violence are very high. Domestic violence not only destroys a family’s future but a child’s future. A perfect example is this scenario. An eight year old boy desperately picks up the phone to call 911 as he watches his father physically torment his mother. Tears fall down his face as he watches his mother being beaten. The father orders his wife to never leave him, and although she complies, he continuously beats on her day and night, showing dominance and control. The boy drops the phone and backs slowly into a corner in the kitchen while his mother is on the ground and his father is approaching near him with a closed fist. This is just one case of domestic violence that affects nearly thirty-two million Americans, which is over ten percent of the United States population. Children see their fathers use violence as regular behavior and when they grow up they think that it is normal to beat on their children,
