New Domestic Violence Shelter Gives Victims Hope

Two Shot During Domestic Dispute

Victims of Domestic Abuse Go to Shelter and Receive Hope

 

Domestic violence is often getting shoved under the rug. It seems like you can beat your spouse, go to jail for a week then just a probation period. Recently it’s becoming more popular for people in the public eye, such as football players or baseball players to be able to be accused of domestic violence and they just get a little slap on the wrist and everything is all good.  However, there are domestic violence advocates trying to bring awareness and trying to turn headlines about domestic violence into a different sight.

 

Maria Garay’s Statement about Domestic Violence

Historically we don’t want to talk about domestic violence. And I think for the first time the NFL. and the focus on them is allowing people to talk about domestic violence. I think that’s a very good think because we need to talk about it more as society. One in 4 women will be impacted by domestic violence.

 

Maria runs the “Sojourner Center” which is an “organizations that offers shelter to women and children who are victims of domestic violence”.  Since this is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Sojourner Center is concentrating on relaunching their efforts of awareness of domestic violence. The shelter center is also going to be reaching out to the community to help those victim families who have pets as well as doing more research to get insight of what causes domestic violence.

 

 Maria’s Statement about Plans for the Shelter

Pets, believe it or not are a big factor in domestic violence. Many women don’t want to leave because they have a pet and they don’t want to leave the animal behind.

 

The shelter center is also trying to research more about a new trend that they have been seeing amongst the domestic violence victims. They’ve noticed that a lot of the women are showing signs of head trauma and signs of a concussion.

 

Maria’s Statement

95% of women who have been impacted by domestic violence report that they have concussions or similar trauma brain injuries. That’s significant and we need to do and know more.

 

They are asking that if you know of anyone who has or is a victim of domestic abuse/violence to please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-7233.

Teenagers Fight at Arizona State Fair

Teenagers Fight at Arizona State Fair

Group of Teenagers Fight at Phoenix Fair

 

The state fair is a very memorable time for a lot of children and teens. First kisses on the Ferris Wheel, winning a Gold fish, the great carnival food. The fair is also a place for robbery and mischief. According to the local authorities, dozens of teenagers had gotten into a huge fight on the opening night of the Arizona State Fair. The fair happens in Phoenix.

 

The Phoenix Police and the Arizona Department of Public Safety were at the scene at the fair. It was at 19th Avenue and McDowell. This huge fight happened last Friday night.

 

Police Arrest 30 Teenagers at State Fair

 

The police officers said that they had to detain at least thirty teenagers at the fairgrounds. They were all released into the care of their parents. Police say that there must have been as many as sixty teenagers involved, as well as some of them fighting with the police.

 

Teenagers weren’t the only ones in trouble for fighting at the fair. It’s sad to say that two adults were also arrested, one of which was a woman, for kicking and hitting a police officer. Police still aren’t real sure of what caused the fight. The fair will end on November second. Hopefully there isn’t anymore brawls at the fair. It’s sad that fairs are meant to be a fun and family friendly place that people ruin it.

 

Make sure to keep a good watch on your young children at these fairs. They could be the ones in the fights, abducted, raped, robbed. There’s a million wrong doing’s at these family events. Just because it’s a supposed safe place doesn’t mean there aren’t people trying to do bad things during the fair.
