Man hitting wife!?

Question

my mates neighbour hits his wife. hurd it late last sat nite. Wanted to go round and hit him but was held back by friends. would u call the Police?

Answer 1

I know it is hard to listen to but I would not get in the middle of a couple that way. I called the police on my ex's dad as he was hitting his mum and nearly broke her foot as she tried to hold the door from him and he was pushing the other side! The police came out and she signed the paperwork to say that she does not want him charged! She was too scared not to sign it!! I think you have to have strength in the woman that she will get out of the situation or that her family will find out and help her to get away from him. Never easy I know.

Answer 2

You need to take action before it becomes worse and deadly. Most man does not hit their wife at all, if he has an anger problem then he needs to be away from you before he resolve his issue. Again, man do not hit their wife in marriage. Its always those crazy man with mental-issues that does. You need to get help right away before it escalates to the next level. It might be just bruise and hits, but later on it will be come more life-threatening and you will be in danger too. You need to go to the hospital to treat your injury, it doesn't matter what kind of injury you have. The hospital will document the incident and you will have it in record. Tell the nurse or the doctor that this is a result of domestic violence, that your husband hit you and its not the first time it happen. They will most likely contact the authority to come in to take a good look at you and take care of the situation. If they don't contact the police, you need to go to the police youself and seek their help. You must report this to the authority to have some kind of protection from your husband. No man in their right mind would or should use violence against their spouse, you need to take action immediately. Go to your friend or mother's place and go to hospital right away, its the only thing that will save you and your baby's life.

Answer 3

no mate stay out of it. the police wont thank you for the extra work the guy wont thank you for interfering and believe it or not the wife wont either. she has to be the one to say she has had enough and call the police. seen it all too often husband hits wife police call, husband looses rag with police gets arrested and then wife starts to have a go at police for arresting him cos he is sorry or she believes she asked for it. police do a lot of paperwork then wife drops the charges and the whole thing starts again the next time he has a drink.

Answer 4

you should have called the police because the wife may not be so lucky the next time he hits her because they may be sending a coronor instead of a policeman.NO one deserves to be beaten down like that and i am glad that you were concerned enough to want to get involved! I pray that there are no children in the house to see all of this .The problem in this world now is that to many people just ignore these things and i wondre how many lives have been lost because of it.You sound like a nice person and i think that you would want to know if something like this was going on in your own family.I know that i would and try anything to stop it!!

Answer 5

Yes, absolutely I would call the Police. A lot of forces no have a policy that they will prosecute, even if the wife does not want to make a statement. Its incredibly important that these men get reported and learn that they can't get away. Just as important is for the wife to see that there are people there to help her when she is ready to get it.

If you ever see it again, please, for the woman's safety, call the police. A lot of husbands just don't stop until they've killed and that cycle needs to be broken.

Answer 6

Yes! Definitely call police. Next time she could be dead. Are there children? Don't get involved yourself, no matter how tempted you are to hit him - you will only make things worse for his wife as he will take everything out on her afterwards.

I think the law has changed here (England) now and the police can press charges even if wife will not.

Answer 7

It's up to your neighbour to get the police involved. Some people wouldn't appreciate you calling the police on their man - despite what's going on. You might think you're doing the right thing, but you can only see what's going on from your side of the fence.

Answer 8

wot a nasty situation 2 b in its a cache 22 situation here..u feel bad not doing anything but if you interfere there could be worse reprocussions,he might think shes aked u 2 say something and belt her twice as hard,or come after you ....you could go to your local police station and explain the situation and stress that you are concerned for her safety,you dont say if there are kids involved but all the same id go to the police or try and catch her when shes on her own and explain that you are there if she needs anything,more often than not those in abusive relationships stay in that situation and dont like interferance from 3rd parties even tho they are aware its wrong..i no iv been there and its not nice..people are often afraid to speak out when they no sum1s being beat so i take my hat off to u...u do wot u feel is rite n good luck x

Answer 9

YES. Two women in the UK die every week as a result of violence from a partner or ex-partner, and domestic abuse accounts for more morbidity (ill-health) in women than cancer, road accidents or war. People can now be prosecuted for offences of domestic violence even if the victim doesn't want to press charges, so the reports of people who witness or hear violence can be very useful in bringing perpetrators to justice. Do a web search for your local police service and find the number for the Community Safety Unit - they have the specific remit for DV and hate crime.

Answer 10

Absolutely I would call the police. If he's hitting his wife so much that you're hearing it late at night, I'd definitely call the cops, because he's probably doing some serious damage to her.
