  1. I'm disgusted with the luck of understanding for domestic abuse.
    Only because this man worked as a LEO.
    WHY, special treatment?
    Speaking as a survivor of this crime, no longer a victim and author of "SHACKLES-OVERCOMING DOMESTIC ABUSE".
    DV has many faces especially the one of the perpetrator. Behind closed doors his control freakery and with it the daily, weekly and monthly toll of systematic domestic abuse both physical and psychological, no victim be able to withstand. When on the outside, perpetrators are very polite and the most friendly people but- this is all a act!

    DV stalks victims the world over, making no allowance for race, creed, gender, age or wealth!
    It can happen to anyone!
    Open your eyes and hearts to the suffering around you, include law officials, judges..people in power who have the power to help bring this crime to a stop, FULL STOP!
    A better understanding for all victims and all of the 1000's of innocent children involved in this, having no choice and say in this at all.

  2. Do a background check about Warren Police. Jim DaDeppo served the community for 30 plus years putting his life on the line everyday. Charges were dropped because they had nothing.
