Abuse bill betrays victims, subsidizes a radical agenda

Article here. Excerpt:

'Two years ago Millie Almore was admitted to the SafeSpace shelter in Stuart, Florida. Ten days later the 26-year-old woman lay dead, stabbed in the neck by Marilyn Hooks, another resident at the facility. An investigation into the incident found the homicide reflected an "egregious failure of the entire agency to satisfactorily assure the health, safety, and welfare of both its clientele and staff."

Millie Almore's tragic death spotlights the woes that vex our nation's 1,800 domestic violence shelters. These problems stem from non-existent accountability, poorly-trained staff, and most of all, a deeply-ingrained ideological agenda.

One former resident at the Hope House shelter in West Virginia attested, "I often felt unsafe. There were several physical and verbal altercations between the shelter residents." No wonder that so many opt to return to their batterer rather than continue to submit to harassment and threats by shelter residents.'
