By: Jack Krohn | - Three years ago one of the first articles I wrote was about domestic violence and all the inequities associated with it. Two young women in my life were victims-one was my daughter whose husband broke her arm. Since then I have tried to keep up with the problem without much luck.

- Granny Cams-keeping An Eye On Caregivers And Domestic Help
By: Jack Krohn | - I think everyone has heard of nanny cams. They are small hidden cameras that catch abusive nannies mistreating kids while unsuspecting moms and dads are away. They can also catch kids drinking mom and dads booze, doing drugs or whatever while mom and dad can't be there.

At the other end of the age spectrum ...

- The Stock Market Meltdown And Domestic Violence Awareness Month

- Why I Feel That Domestic Violence Is A Choice
By: Francis K Githinji | - We always find reasons and excuses to show that domestic violence is an unavoidable circumstance but i beg to differ.

The myths or misconception that men are p ...

- Another Case Of Male Abuse Revealed
By: Dr. Heyward Ewart | - This category of corporal punishment includes the use of any instrument to inflict pain by whipping, whether by use of an actual whip, a switch, a belt, or another flexible weapon.
