The discussion around the effectiveness of intimate partner abuser treatment is one that has been going on for a while. Does treatment help or not? The answer isn’t so simple.

July 13, 2019 18:00 - 1 hour - 54.3 MBJUDGE ORDERS BOY INTO FATHER'S CUSTODY DESPITE "PENIS GAMES" If you were the one making the decision, would you order a small boy who told authorities that daddy played the “penis game” with him, and who then went on to sexually act out with is playmates and school friends, to live with his abuser?

A TALK ABOUT GUNS, VIOLENCE, RIGHTS AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
June 01, 2019 18:00 - 1 hour - 54.9 MBGuns are evil and should be heavily controlled. US citizens have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
