Women Fined for Returning After Getting Protective Orders

DaveW writes "This story, about a judge fining women who get protective orders, but later return to their alleged abusers, may indicate the beginning of a trend to curb the misuse of protective orders." I'm definitely in favor of policies which encourage people to stop and think before filing a protective order, considering how often they get carelessly used these days.Source: The Lexington Herald-Leader [newspaper]
