Holiday domestic violence. - 12/22/09 02:00 AM
It seems the so called experts that count things are saying that during the holidays there is always a rise in domestic violoence but the economy the way it is it's happening sooner this year all across our nation, calls to 911 are up 47% so far. That is just sad.

Wow, I hadn't heard that. That's a tremendous increase. Some 911 calls are medical. ot all have to do with crime, but still, that's quite an increase.

Dots the calls were screened for reason of call, thats how they knew which were and weren't for domestic violence. It is an accurate count; BUT think of all the violence against women and children that is never reported yet ongoing.
