I had a young girl whom is related to me stay with me for about 10 months. This girl is my niece and I have taken care of her for the biggest part of her life. She was staying with me because she was pregnant and the baby's father was in prison for domestic violence. During the time that she was with me I had many conversations about domestic violence and children subjected to it and how it affects the woman and children. Why women stay in the relationship and so forth. I though that I was making sense to her. When he returned home I gave her fair warning of the consequence of her getting beat again and if the kids were there what I intended to do. She has a 7 year old and a 10 month old. Well he was not out a week and they both were drinking and fighting and she was not taking care of the children. I warned her again and she said she would do as she pleases that she can drink a entire bottle of wine if she wants. Then her boyfriend beat her up real bad and took her to the cematary and told her that this was the place her and her children would be after he sliced their throat from ear to ear and took her back home and beat her for another couple of hours. she had him arrested and she called me. I told her that she knew that I would be calling the /department of family and children on her. Which I wrote them and sent them pictures and sent a copy to the prosecutor. six months later he is still in court fighting the charges. She used money from the domestic violence program to get a new apartment out of state and he moved with her. I am sick because the last time he was in prison it sliced another girl's face with a vodka bottle. Now this. She is still there with both of her daughters and no one is doing anything because she plays the system. I would love to just go personally to the state and have the kids taken for good. I am afraid some one will end up dead. what do you think.

I would call the children services in the town she is living in and tell them what is going on and when they take the children away that you want them as a immediate family member or just take her to court and have all the court documents that you have on her.

honestly, the reason why she is like that is because she thinks she is in love...
I watched it on a TV show one time that male abusers can court women really well and are afraid to talk about their own feelings...
Abused women felt that they are weak and still thinks t stick to the guy for other reasons, like the kids and her love.
Sounds crazy, but you need to wake up her senses to see that she is caapble to living without him.
