Dear Editor,
The article “Essex County observes
Domestic Violence Awareness Month” was very interesting to read. I was glad to
see that Essex County has been trying to help victims of Domestic Violence. It
almost seemed like no one in the City or anyone around me really cared that
much about Domestic Violence or just never thought of it as a big deal.
I feel as
though more people should be aware of Domestic Violence. If everyone knew about
it and tried to help out, then maybe it wouldn’t be as bad.
-“Domestic Violence is a serious crime and should and
unfortunately, it can be found in every community. Although significant strides
have been made over the last several decades, the public must be vigilant and
proactive so domestic violence cases are addressed and victims are treated safely
with dignity and respect,” DiVincenzo said.
Maybe
instead of looking at basics Domestic Violence we should all try to help out
the victims and prevent others from becoming a victim. But on the other hand it
is important that you understand what it is and who is affected most. This is a
big problem because it happens often. More people should take action.
