        Sadly yes, when the law fails. See Jeffery Dahmer for when someone in need tried to rely on the police for help.

          Recently a domestic abuse victim was shot by the cops. Maybe the person you’re replying to is just suggesting this victim just fucking dies instead?

            She was 24. I’m suggesting she fuckin leaves instead. He could have picked her up and cut contact while they sorted it out. They could have contacted an abuse center or a women’s shelter. But no, they had to kill her I guess.

            She had a psychologically abusive childhood so I gave her a pass but he didn’t. He has no excuse for thinking first degree murder was the only option. You’re all crazy for defending him.

              Her decision to have Dee Dee killed came after she’d tried to run away ahead of yet another needless procedure, this time on her larynx. “I just wasn’t having it,” says Gypsy, who claims she fled her home, only to be tracked down within hours. “She found me, brought me back and put in place paperwork saying I was incompetent and she had power of attorney over me.”

              I see you didn’t read the article

                I did read the article. Hence why I said her boyfriend should pick her up. Her mom found her within HOURS. Teenagers successfully runaway without help all the time.

                  I’m referring to ‘abuse center or woman’s shelter’. How, exactly, is she going to be able to stay anywhere or obtain any help when the mum already managed to get her declared witless and rightless? And that’s setting aside the question of whether she had the physical freedom and ability to escape again. Given the circumstances it’s not unreasonable to think she might be locked up.

                What a mess of a comment. Growing up is realizing that murder isn’t the only solution, not killing your girlfriend’s mom. She wasn’t being held at gunpoint.
