#abuse #violence #domesticviolence #saynomire #enoughisenough #bandaidsolutions #darvo - Most of us who have had to navigate every facet of the system & or loss of a child along the way - could share horror stories but often we become quickly aware its in the best interest to only share ‘good stories/support’ to survive’. Yes, we are exposed to Darvo, those who try to flip the script to control the narrative, those who seek to plant or obtain ‘dirt’ on the victim to shift focus away & blame, even with facts/evidence of which they know remains - then comes those - some sadly in the system who seek opportunity/take advantage of others, flood/spam their accts, create fake/duplicate accts intentionally set up to profile victim and or pull them into a controlled setting that sees exposure to further harm by way of coercive control, manipulation, deceit. ‘Step by step’, the power and control manouvres/positions 3rd party connections of an abuser around the victim both online and across workplaces - designed to create chaos/confusion, next comes hazing, subtle bullying, baiting - the psycho-social games used by those who form/choose their side. The motivation: misogyny, misplaced loyalty, power, politics, religion - a mate - many human factors will determine ‘who’s who in your zoo & the games they will play. What looks like support on the surface is sadly not always necessarily so, it’s a well constructed game to suppress, contain and wear the victim down. A triage can quickly become a triad when there is money, contacts and content to extract, copy and lay claim to: ‘what’s yours is mine and what’s mine belongs to me’. Then there is the negative (flip) side of ‘kvetching orders that cleverly draw rings of deceit, brought in like arms of an octopus to block or discreetly attack the victim - any and all genuine support would never test a victim - especially after their disclosures of abuse, or pit them against their abuser or stay hidden - support should always be transparent, ensuring the victim is aware and well informed and obtained through consent, otherwise it is that person/group who has engaged under false pretense with ‘fear of losing their license’ who has something to hide. A well-established system with deep links that has played the same game many times before would/could use health/education/govt connections as a backdrop to manipulate/hide and then age the process’ for their target victim - using time just like the process of wound mgmt: knowing when to apply pressure & when to take it off! No need for accountability coz now you’re ‘healed’ DV, has to stop (BH 28.01.2018). No life should ever be pulled into anothers game of win or lose: Mother Father Wife Husband Brother Sister Friend Mate ……… Child No one life should ever have any of these people form their ‘groups’ of players (bad actors) who believe they then get to choose. #humanrights #violation #justice #protection #care #supportsystems #judgeandjury #facts #evidence #crime

Painful Truths Challenging Perceptions The recent charges against a well-known and respected news presenter are a stark reminder that our idols can be deeply flawed. It's a painful truth that challenges our perception of those we admire. The tendency to protect our idealised image of someone can create barriers to acknowledging their wrongdoing. This denial, while understandable, is harmful. It not only fails to address the gravity of the offence but can also inadvertently shift blame towards those who expose the truth. We must remember that protecting victims and upholding justice are paramount. By confronting these difficult realities, we create a safer space for survivors to come forward. #accountability #justice #childprotection

Stop scrolling for 4 minutes and listen to a stellar explanation of leakage -- what it is, how to recognize it, and why it can help prevent acts of targeted violence -- by Mary Ellen O'Toole on NPR's All Things Considered https://lnkd.in/gbChkcH4

"Even without his guns, my father would have always done horrific acts of violence" It can all feel overwhelming and too much sometimes. So what can a small network of women specialised in credit risk and collections do ? 1. Demand our employer have strong DV policies and know what they are 2. Support our staff, our friends, and our sisters. Remember that it is often more dangerous to leave, and it takes a lot of attempts, so please don't give up on someone who can't "just leave." Be kind, patient, and persistent. 3. Apply a lens of "safety by design" to all our originations and collections processes and policies 4. Reach out if you personally need help or want to know how to help someone you love

When law enforcement agencies' response to terror supporters is hesitant, indecisive or completely tolerant, it's no wonder potential would-be terrorists grow more brazen. This PC approach also contributes to law abiding citizens' degraded confidence in those agencies willingness or ability to provide #publicsafety. #hatespeech leads to #hatecrimes!

This is a perfect microcosm of what is so wrong with the world today.

We have not learned from the crack epidemic when violence initially was at an all time high and I was and Juvenile Court Administrator on the front lines. Policing and incarceration of violent offenders is important but does address why violence has continued to exist the last 30 years in certain zip codes and especially among teenagers and young adults. This is not unique to Columbus but nationally in poor neighborhoods. During the crack era the United States incarcerated more people than any country in the world but here we are again. Unless the core issues for this violence in our poorer communities is addressed 30 years from now violence will still be an issue. The powers to be have not learned that the most important element of addressing this violence is prevention and community engagement not incarceration.
