do you think its right to calll the police on your husband for beating you ?

Answer 1

Is this the first time he beat you? What were the circumstances? Not that ot really matters, if you feel fear for your life or your well being, and fear that you cannot controlt he situation yourself, yes, I would call the police. I happen to work for a Sheriff's Office in Louisiana and can tell you what the circumstances are for spousal abuse:
First: did the beating leave visible marks on you? If so, document these with pictures, even if you don't call the police this time. You will have them in case it happens again. If it isn't documented, it didn't happen and it's your word against his.
Second: Did you provoke the attack? I know this sounds terrible, but it is a question that any officer will ask upon arrival. By this I mean did you say anything like "I dare you to hit me?" or " I bet you wouldn't hit me". ( and by your saying this I don't think that gives him the right to do so, but when legality is in play it does matter.
Third: Did you hit him first? Did you hit him at all or leave any marks on him? If so, legally you are as much at fault as he is. Stinks I know, but that's the law. In our area, if an officer shows up on scene and both persons involved have marks on them, both of them go to jail no questions asked.
Fourth: Do you live in a state that requires you to personally press charges against him? Or are you in a state that allows the officer responding to press charges on behalf of the state?
In our area, if an officer shows up and sees a mark or has any proof (like an eye witness who called it in) the officer files charges on the husband, not the wife. It may sound ridiculous, but I had a friend that handled her situation this way. I saw her witht he bruises all over and I wrote a report and filed the charges against him, that way. she could deny knowing that charges were being pressed and hopefully not get another beating when he got out. It took several times of this before she had enough and finally left. But, had this not bee an option for her, she would still be there without any legal documentation on he side. A third party, say your mother, could take pictures of the abuse and show them to an officer and the charges would be pressed without you doing or saying anything against your husband.
Good luck, if you have any other specific questions, please let me know. If I don't have an answer immediately, I can get it for you! No woman deserves to ever be hit by her spouse! It's a miserable life, believe me I know!

Answer 2

Yes! Call the police. A man that hits once will hit again. It just takes time for them to build thier comfort level back up. It's a cycle that must be broken. An abused women goes back on an average 7 times before she is killed. If you are caught in the cylcle and are in fear I know it can be hard to leave. My advise is in each dresser have a drawer that is packed like a suitcase so you can dump it in a bag and go in a moments notice. If you have kids, do the same for them. 2. Have a safe house set up. Talk to a friend and have a place to go planned out that he does not know about and is not likely to look. Someone from work maybe?? 3. For god's sake make sure you are deleting you internet history. Most abusers go into a frantic stage after hitting, afraid you are going to leave and they are suspicious of everything. I know no matter how many times you hear it, it will still be hard to leave and stay gone. Believe me after you finally get the strength and leave, time will clear the fog and you will wonder how you ever got into the situation to begin with. Take time for yourself after to refind yourself. I like to call this finding your innerbitch. I don't mean become one, but refind your ability to communicate your boundries before entering another relationship. Break the cycle. If you have kids remember even if he doesn't hit them, it is still doing massive damage. It shows them an inexcusable way of communicating thier anger and could potentially turn them into abusers.

Answer 3

YES !!! Nobody has the right to lay a hand on you in a harmfull way. There are consequences for actions. If he didn't want the police called, he shouldn't have hit you. Its that simple. If he hasn't learned his lesson, then leave, any way you can. Hundreds of women are killed by their partners every week around the world. Some don't mean to actually kill their partners, and plead manslaughter, but that doesn't stop their partners from being dead though, does it ?

Answer 4

Absolutely. He needs to learn, very quickly, that abusing you is unacceptable to everyone. I failed to call the police on my now ex-husband and it has cost me dearly. Don't let anyone make you think that being abused by a spouse is ever justified. It is sick and it could kill you. Beating is never the right thing to do. And neither is pretending that it didn't happen or trying to believe that you "deserve" it. Call the police every time.

Answer 5

Oh hell yea! Put the low life scum bag behind bars. That's exactly where he belongs for beating you or any woman for that matter. Maybe an inmate will teach him a thing or 2 about beating on women. And you never know one day it may be too late and you wind up in the ER or dead.

Answer 6

Listen.. I've read your other questions. You are making a HUGE MISTAKE by even sticking with this guy. PLEASE do yourself a favor and get out now. You are worth much more than you think and your kids will be affected by this for the rest of their lives.
Allowing an abuser to continue a relationship with you is telling them that it's okay and that you are not worth anything. Get out before you get hurt seriously and your kids don't have a mom. You are affecting their lives as well as your own.

Answer 7

I think you should be calling a coroner, to pick up the body.But that is my opinion. Yes you should call the police. But don't keep calling if you are going to stay in the relationship or take him back after the gets out of jail.

Answer 8

Yes, because when a man hits a woman he is a bully. He has to control the woman and doesn't respect our gender.

My Mom was beaten by my stepfather. When she struck him (once) back he was afraid of her. In those days a woman's word was worthless in courts.

I hope you are not still living with him. Because in time the beatings will increase. Get help.

Answer 9

100% yes, just because the man is a husband doesn't mean he has the right to hit his wife. It doesn't matter if it is a husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend or friend they still shouldn't be beating someone.

Answer 10

Yes its right to call the police on him, No person deserves to get beating.
