My fellow classmate Tuyen Doan found some interesting information in her article on this topic, especially what the new law entails and what its consequences are. I'd have to agree with her outlook on the topic: It should CERTAINLY motivate abusers to stop. If any of these abusers were in their right minds (which I can't depend on, obviously... there's got to be something up if they feel battering their spouse or children is EVEN an option) they would be able to "weigh the scale" so to speak and see just how much hardship their actions can bring them. With a first offense fine of 4 grand, and up to a year in prison... Much less the two-to-ten year sentencing and up to 10,000 fine if the prosecutors choose to categorize it as a second or third degree felony. How can an abuser be stupid enough to think they won't eventually be found out? Seriously.
Someone will have a bruise to show for what's been done to them, and guess what? Someone's going to ask: "what happened?" I know I would...
I completely agree with Tiffany's closing statements about hating these individuals that abuse women and children. Women and children are two of the things to be MOST cherished in this life. Only a truly weak individual would ever see harming them as an option. Idiots.
