domestic violence leading to murder in the paper again

i am so so so so sick of stories in the paper about men abusing their wives and children, the wives getting a restraining order, the men getting jail time, the men killing their wives and children, and the wives being posthumously lectured on not reaching out for help.

'"I would plead with anybody who is suffering, even a small bit in a home where there's domestic violence, to please reach out for help," Banovetz said.'

her case wasn't presented to prosecutors. it was treated as a misdeameanor, not a felony. she did everything right, and the system failed her.
