A friend of mine suffers from domestic violence. her boyfriend is not officially married to her, but they have been together for twenty seven years. He has not paid child support, does not contribute to rent (he will not even work), and is abusive towards her and the children (when the children were younger). When she calls the police department in fear for her safety, they tell her that there is nothing she can do since her boyfriend receives mail at the home. They will not remove him from the property, or arrest him for domestic violence, unless they, "catch him in the act", in which, when it takes place, by the time the police arrive there, he is, "finished beating her". in fact, whenever she calls the police regarding anything, they rarely appear or follow through because her sons are public enemy number one in the city. regardless of that, they are neglecting to serve and protect, yes?
