Domestic Violence Victims are Walking Targets in the OC

by Justice Watch Monday, Aug. 23, 2010 at 1:29 AM

For domestic violence victims, safety lies in leaving Orange County.

In Orange County, instead of getting support, domestic violence victims are the targets of continual harassment from authorities.

The sheriff's department and police authorities continually refuse to enforce violations of domestic violence restraining orders, calling such violations civil. However, the police routinely use the restraining orders against the person who got them, thereby limiting the areas of the county into which the victims can travel.

Often, Orange County domestic violence victims are subjected to further trouble. When officers see them walking or riding their bicycle down the street, they will stop them, frighten them and give them full pat down searches, for claimed pedestrian or bicycle equipment violations. Victims are sometimes targeted as often as once a week.

The public guardian further victimizes domestic violence victims. He targets their parents and uses their relationship to a domestic violence victim as an excuse to come in and confiscate the parents' property.

Judges are refusing support for victims. Judge Waltz, a judge rumored to be more fair to victims, is allowing batterers to terminate the health insurance of domestic violence victims during divorce proceedings.

The word is clear. Domestic violence victims need to get out of Orange County or subject themselves to continued harassment.

Domestic violence victims are screwed in OC

by Sarah Monday, Aug. 23, 2010 at 4:28 PM

The domestic violence shelters are in it for the money and won't even offer a helping hand to most victims. If a domestic violence victim has her cell phone cut by her batterer, Laura's House will give her two calls - once. Laura's House refuses to assist at all the victims who are in the most danger.

Domestic violence victims cannot get help to repair damage done to their homes, according to city officials. We're talking about free HUD grants that are readily available to batterers.

There is a real double standard. Victims are lucky to survive getting a restraining order.

the dykes in the DA's office will treat any man like a child killer and give everything to the psycho-female no matter what.

go to Santa Barbara Co.
