Abuse victims rights

Why are violent felons let loose on society? Why are they still able to hurt people? Why can victims of abuse not get the justice and protection they need? Why are the abuser's given a slap on the wrist and fines? Why isn't more done to protect those who truly need it? I am one of the lucky ones I was able to get away, I have my protector. But, the coward who tried to kill me and my boys is still on the streets. Why was he given 6months probation and fines? Why did they see he has an extensive violent criminal record and let him go on the streets? My best friend Ariel Griffin wasn't one of the lucky ones. The system failed her completely like hundreds of others. Why is there not more to protect us?

Why is this important?

What if it were their mother daughter sister niece aunt uncle brother nephew father? Abuse happens to everyone and everyone deserves justice. Women children and YES even MEN are stuck in abusive relationships/situations. They all deserve the same help and protection from those harming them. If one signature can help save at least can help make the change then that's what is needed. Victims should've live the life of a victim they should live their lives as a survivor. They should be able to live without fear that their abuser can still hurt them. Restraining orders need to be more than just a piece of paper.
