The police will help you as soon as possible. The news says that the Ministry of Public Security, ACWF(All-China Women's Federation) and other 7 departments have released a new rule that requires the police stations to handle family violence cases when people ask help or complain to them. Do you think it will help curb family violence to some extent?

They are not trained to handle domestic disputes. About all they are good for is driving friends and family around to the shopping centers.

I do know of some domestic violence situations where the police played as a marriage counselor or say it is a family matter that the police shouldn’t mess with. Then the very next day, someone ends up dead because they just closed their eyes to what’s really happening.

In the first place, I wonder if a woman who is being battered would really call the police if she knows that her family affairs will be exposed and the entire family will lose face. If she is being battered by her husband, I don’t think her in-laws will appreciate her calling the police on him. What do you think? And then, what happens after she calls the police? Will she be able to support herself? What about the children? Will she still live in the same house? This is why I like strong women, not the meek who would allow herself to be battered. They should know how to protect themselves.
