Dear Mr. Bark,
Your article written on October 5, 2012 concerning the Chris Brown and Rihanna matter, writing how her father approves of their reconciliation is not a subject that should just be taken lightly. Abusive relationships are a serious matter and stating that it is okay to continue a relationship with your abuser is the wrong message to be sending to people, including those that are in abusive relationships and won't speak up about what they go through. Considering that 80% of girls in abusive relationships continue to be in the relationship with their abuser( Bhatti paragraph 7, statistic 2), ending a relationship and starting it back up again is the same circumstance. Writing this article IS NOT the correct message that you should be sending. That ultimately the people that hurt you once can change and won't hurt you again, "He used to hit her.... He swore that it wouldn't happen again but it only got worse;"( Sparks, P.64). 33% of teenagers do not speak up if they are being abused( Bhatti paragraph 6, statistic 3), 24% of women ages 18-35 haven't said if they were being harmed in an abusive relationship( Glamour magazine). When Rihanna spoke up about he matter, they said goodbye, there was a hearing, and they stopped speaking. Now these rumors of a reconciliation are bringing up memories and making this a hot topic again. And now coming out, saying her father approves of this, that this event between them is just a 'mistake, and everyone should be forgiven once'( Bark, paragraph 3). People who continue to forgive abusers realize they shouldn't have, and by writing this article this is what you are saying: Just go ahead and forgive! Abusive relationships are a major issue, but seeing how these are music professionals that people listen to and look up to, this

    Violence against one another is not okay either way male or female. The Ray Rice, Jay Z and Solange incident happened the exact same way just the opposite sex. This fight within the celebrities had the world talking. “What Happened? Or is there sound to hear what they’re saying?” The reason this has an effect on our culture is because both Jay Z and Ray Rice are huge role models to people. In the music industry Jay Z is a role model to people because people want to be just like him. Ray Rice is the man in the NFL and he has people that want to play in the league and that look up to him as their favorite player. The difference between the videos is that one is a male and one is a female who’s doing the hitting. No one knows what really happened or what caused the fight they just see hitting. Now since Solange was hitting Jay Z people didn’t make it a big deal, some of the peoples comments were “Solange got them hands! or She can fight!” people were basically worshipping her, not understanding that she was attacking him. What if he would have swung back? Then Jay z would have been labeled as a woman beater, but instead he didn’t he just kept moving her. In the middle of everything I still am trying to figure out why Beyonce didn’t do anything. Instead of people understanding that Solange is a woman and not hitting her was the right thing to do, people are saying he’s a female dog and a vagina. All of this is because he has respect not only for women but his wife, by not hitting her sister. One thing I did find interesting while researching is that some reporters say the reason Solange went off like that is because she found out Jay Z has been hitting Beyonce. Beyonce has a song out and in this song one of her lyrics say “Shit goes down when it’s a billion dollars on an elevator.” Shocker that happened, could that be the reason Beyonce wasn’t fighting back? Now Ray Rice and his fiancée, that whole video was disrespectful to…

    James & Gilliland (2017, p. 287) noted, there is no more anxiety-provoking call for a police officer than a domestic disturbance call. The calls far outnumber other types of police call in which the possibility of violence, injury, and death exists to both civilians and police (Benjamin &Walz, 1983). On that account, when the victim of domestic violence come into an emergency shelter, needing support emotional and physical, to cope with their trauma, and a collaboration between local and government agencies that are linked through Victim Services of Toronto, would be able to assist and lessen their trauma. Victim Services of Toronto, provide instant crisis response intervention…

    In the article, "An Evaluation of Police Compliance with Domestic Violence Documentation Policy Reform: Improving the Identification of Exposed Children," by John P. Shields it explains how a new reform changed the way police document domestic violence situations. In the 60's and 70's police documentation was inadequate. The police had a lack of interest, they collected little evidence, classified the situation as a misdemeanor, and barely arrested anyone. On top of that departments didn't usually train officers to identify children that had been exposed to domestic violence, so this made it difficult to further any actions.…

    In 1962 the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare’s Children’s Bureau, now known as Health and Human Services, began to develop measures to protect children from abuse, neglect and mistreatment by establishing the procedure and framework for reporting abuse and developing the laws and regulations governing the prevention, education and protective actions enforced in the arena of child abuse. By 1967, state laws were established requiring professionals and public agencies of the mandatory requirement for care professionals to report alleged or suspected abuse.
