Where can i get help for a victim of spouse abuse?

Sue C

Simply call 911. The police w/be there IMMEDIATELY, see what's going on, & take him out of the house. She then should get a restraining order against him which w/totally keep him away from getting anywhere near them, stop ALL contact w/him, & IF he even attempts to contact her, she calls the police & let the law handle it completely. There is NO need for this to be going on, I too well know, I too was mentally & physically abused. This is exactly what I did, the police where at my home in a matter of minutes. It s/then be heard rite away in Family court. Believe me, Judges do NOT look favorably on domestic violence. He w/do things to totally [rotect her, TRUST me on this. IF he need to go to the house for is belongings, a policeman w/GO w/him & stay w/him until he's removed them. She'll have total police protection at ALL times, & he w/NOT be allowed w/in 500 ft. of her, no phone calls, no emails, no texting no nothing from him whatsoever. It IS EASY todo, PLEASE please do this for her. Someone make that 911 call & he'll be removed IMMEDIATELY & she'll have NOTHING whatsoever to worry about. I did it, I KNOW. Do something/anything to get her help, & this IS the route I'd take. EVERYTHING w/be settled in a matter of days. She does NOT have to accept the unacceptable & should NOT stand for it, nor do her children deserve to live in a home w/total caios. Family Court WILL handle EVERYTHING for her, & they are all the nicest people she could want to meet. She w/NOT need a laywer, I didn't. Let the law do it for her, & they WILL completely do it for her. Just PLEASE someone make that call for her & put an end to this total madness!!! I DO wish you the very best...:)

yup

Your in Chicago a local police dept can help her get into a shelter there is a number of them there for abused women there is a reason why your having a hard time finding out about it online. They try to get as little info about these shelters as possible so women there are not found very easy.
Why don't one of you take in this women and her children and then work on getting her help.
There is a national abuse hotline that can fix you right up.

But anyway here are some links hope this helps

You wont be able to find anything online really for that matter. I dont know why though. But what you need to do is call your local law enforcement and ask where you can locate an abused womens and childrens shelter. Now they may not tell you simply because they try and keep those locations secret just for obvious reasons. UNfortunantly the best thing you can do is just call the cops and tell the entire story. If she is illegal in this state then that will have to be dealt with. But if her husband is a U.S. citizen then her status in this country should not be an issue. There is no easy answer to this question. If you are truly worried about her then call the cops and say that you suspect abuse. They will then visit the house and remove the women and children if she admits to the abuse. But really, everything is on her if she wants to do something. If worse comes to worse, you may want to personally offer her and her children a place to stay for a while at least to keep them safe and out of harms way. And then that may give you guys time to deal with things and allow her time to breath and really think about everything. It is scary to be in that kind of relationship, but she is the one that has to be willing to do something. Sorry. Good luck!
