The Sad Truth About Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a problem that affects thousands of men, women, and children in Los Angeles every year.  Unfortunately, many of these people never report the violence or abuse. Countless domestic violence experts agree that not reporting abuse to a police officer or even an attorney is the number one mistake victims make.  Keeping this crime a secret only perpetuates the cycle of abuse and allows your abuser to continue to dominate and control you.

There are a number of reasons why victims of domestic abuse do not step forward.  Perhaps they are scared the situation will get worse.  Maybe their abuser has threatened to kill them if tell anyone.  Maybe they genuinely believe the abuse will stop.  Perhaps they think they are doing something wrong, and if they just stopped being “bad” then the abuse would stop.
