Senator Joseph Biden just declared his attempt for the presidency; a candidacy which will undoubtedly be accepted by the influential domestic violence lobby. As sponsor of the Violence against Women Act (VAWA), Senator Biden has won the cause of eliminating domestic violence and aligned himself with a very powerful feminist special interest. For a Democrat in the Senate, winning this cause is a political no-brainer. The question is will he risk the benefits of this political gravy train to confess this “Emperor” isn’t wearing clothes.
The domestic violence act has made way for a billion-dollar business, producing powerful organizations that wield power in local communities. Because of the people’s eagerness to eradicate what everybody thinks to be growing like an outbreak, we have permitted the growth of a group who could manipulate our justice system to their benefit.
Each day, a few people turns into a target of this deceptive domestic violence, often a very competent mother or father being issued a restraining order in several family court anywhere in this country. The complainants do not even have to provide one piece of evidence to support their claim yet the respondent needs to undergo an really shameful procedure that even murderers and other criminals aren’t subjected to because they are covered by the 6th Amendment.
Responding to a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) is a long and usually a shameful experience, as well as expensive. He or she would have to leave the conjugal house, get separated from their children, and more than likely get stressed out and traumatized. Many of those falsely charged of domestic violence never get over the experience as well as suffer emotional damage.
Men are more likely to be wrongly accused and victimized by restraining orders though there are an increasing amount of female victims wrongfully served with restraining orders by abusive males. In a court case in San Francisco just lately, a woman was served a TRO even after her husband threw her down the stairs. Her wily husband said she was emotionally unstable and also was afraid for his life and filing a restraining order was basically for his protection.
The topic of domestic violence is filled with complexities. It cannot be fixed by just one generic approach to all conditions as family issues are unique and don’t match standard models. If the statements are verifiable and supported with hard evidence, it’s only then the Violence against Women Act penalties and punishments should be applied. Studies have shown that almost fifty percent of similar cases don’t even meet the VAWA criteria and these cases must be subject to further evaluation and study before intense measure are taken which will irreversibly damage the members of the family. Furthermore, there should be serious punishment to those who falsely accuse others or even their lawyers who aid them promote their wicked deeds in order that they can benefit from them.
Capital Hill should sanction the Violence Against Women Act, but with conditions that balance the system — a system that in some jurisdictions borders on fanatical. Senator Biden, we just cannot remain oblivious to the damage this laws can cause innocent, gullible adults and kids swept up its tide wave.
