The police and the law cannot protect you from yourself. If you are in fear of your life and you call 911 you should be smart enough to know it is past time for you to exit. People in these relationships thrive on each other. They need each other just like a drug addict. Abuse always escalutes. It dont get "no better". There are places you can go--there are friends and relatives. But the bottom line here is that you just dont want to leave cause you think you better off there than somewhere else. The march was for exercise it wont help anyone. You just have to be SMART enough that you know it wont get any better and for safety sake you need to leave.

People that abuse their partners will not be affected by a silent march any more than murderers are affected by candlelight vigils.

There are people who chose to abuse the system....and this does not help anyone....it is sad when there are supposedly people who are suppose to help those in need....but instead get drug down with the ones who are abusing the system....my son was indicted not once but twice by the GRAND JURY with NO EVIDENCE of a crime being committed....Did I mention that there was NO EVIDENCE of any crime to begin with? It took over 2 years for all charges to finally be *DISMISSED*....what happened to people's rights? Until *issues* such as this is resolved....the system will continue to make BIG MISTAKES....

Many of you seem to think these people willingly choose to stay somewhere where they are being abused. Abusers never start off by being outright abusive, it is a process that builds gradually over time. Many abusers will also try to 'apologize' after the abuse and say, "I'm so sorry, it won't happen again, I love you, I mean it." When victims don't feel safe/have no resources to leave and someone keeps making excuses for their actions, it is sometimes hard to find a way out. This march will hopefully bring awareness TO THEM, that if they want to leave, there are people and resources out there that will help them and they don't have to do this alone.

ABUSE IS GOING TO EXIST AS LONG AS PEOPLE LET IT EXIST. There are signs when someone is abusive so it is up to you to let them abuse you!!!!!!! Marching wont solve any of this.

How will a march solve anything? Men and women need to see the early warning signs and be more selective about their b/f, g/f, and spouses.

"I am a survivor of domestic violence, however..." - norainonmyparade

I am as well, however, I'd rather make sure that people who truly need help receive it than worry over the few who might abuse the system and receive the help they do not deserve.

I am a survivor of domestic violence, however, InterAct in their efforts to help victims, rushes to judgment against the accused without knowing all the facts or even speaking with the accused. Some women make up stories of abuse for sympathy or to get revenge on their (former) partners. They do a lot of good - and I know they don't want to make a victim feel like they don't believe them, but perhaps they should take into consideration that there are those out there that make the rest of us survivors look bad.
