To be honest I don't want to know but I'm shocked that with the details released today about domestic abuse in which one MILLION calls were made to the police about it - or 8% of ALL crimes!
That's just the calls made - how many more abuse goes on that isn't reported to the police?
The Official definition of domestic abuse in England and Wales is:
"Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality."
The behaviour captured in this definition includes:
"… a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten their victim".

I know I'm a living dinosaur and of course abuse happened back in my time as well but one million calls to the police - I'm speachless really.
Is this type of thing normal in society these days? Do you know about stuff going on that shouldn't from family or friends or is it the practice of the chav familys and those from other cultures and religion's that now live amongst us?
It' something I glad to say I've no experience of.
Worth watching the 2 minute video of Justin Lee Collins ex, telling us what he got up to with her - half way down the link below.

Why though - yet another thing I just don't understand these days.
