Thank you for writing about this Cary and making this tragic situation public. When I worked directly for hospitals I was astounded by the sheer volume of patients, predominantly women, who were treated in the ER for some form of violence. Contrary to stereotypes these individuals were typically from middle and upper income families. Their situations were, of course, protected by privacy laws, and the incidents usually remained hidden, except in cases where the victim died and charges were filed.

As long as people stay silent the violence will continue. I applaud you for speaking up, and hope that your family friend will be able to find a way to somehow rebuild her life.
