The system and services available to those who need help are a beautiful thing. Have a problem? There just might be a service to help you find a solution for it.

The downside to having these resources are those who would take advantage of them. A good example would be a woman who claims to be a victim of "domestic violence" but has never been touched. She uses these resources to justify her means. Creating drama that does not need to be created. Putting a "Family Violence Protection Order" on a man that has never lifted a finger to hurt her. She only intends to use the order to bring about the destruction of another human being's rights.

How do you pick and choose the real life situations from the ones that scream out for a reality check? Should we give these women a second look? I say look very close at the woman before she fakes another system out. Dig deep into her history before someone's life is turned upside down. This way those who really need the help will get it.
