Talk to me about when you think a woman is in danger

Honestly, call the police. You did what I would have done. The cops won't say who called so you won't be in the middle of it.

I've called the police for situations like yours. When I left my DV husband, I had notified the police and asked for a cruiser to swing by just in case. I often wondered if anyone had ever called the police on us. One example - we were on a vacation one time and he went off on me because he spilled taco sauce on his shoe. It was my fault, of course. We were in the parking lot when he started and there were a lot of people around. I kept looking around and no one would make eye contact. I get it, it's very uncomfortable to witness and in our society we tend to not get involved. I can just about guarantee with DV issues, it is worse behind closed doors.

I've called on a woman who was screaming at her husband who was just standing there. She then took a baseball bat to his truck. She hit the window and the glass went flying and cut her face. She told to the cops her husband cut her face. I know DV issues where the man is the victim are not as reported as the woman. Luckily, I said what was happening when I called the police and they knew the situation before they arrived. This was the first time I had ever called the cops on anyone! I was scared to do it, but knew it was the right thing to do. The woman never found out it who called.

I agree with the rest, call the police. They are trained to deal with these type of situations, we are not.

call the police. Did your internet source explain why you shouldn't call? That confuses me.

I've called a couple of times. Once we were in a hotel and could hear a lot of crap going on. I called 911. I thought about calling the front desk but decided against it.

I used to volunteer with our domestic violence shelter. Some of the stories are hard. I really feel for the cops that get pulled into these situations because so often the woman actually defends her partner and the cops are limited in what they can do.

When I was married to my first husband I wish someone would have called the police when he was in my face. I know everyone knew what was happening but no one stepped up. After I left him I had people tell me they knew what was going on but didn't think they should get involved.

And yes, if you see something going on in public you can bet it is way worse behind closed doors.

For about a year and a half we had the neighbors from hell living next door. The old man died and his lazy assed son moved in all of his tweeker friends. The guy and his girlfriend would brawl at least twice a week. Screaming and punching each other. It was disgusting. I called the cops each and every time and so did other neighbors. I wasn't going to wait until one of them pulled a gun an bullets came through my wall. They were that weird. They finally got kicked out and the house was remodeled and sold. Our neighborhood is back to being peaceful again.

Call the cops.

and what if you don't call the police and he kills her or badly injures her anyway?  i say call the police.
