The woman, Kimberly Wong, worked for the software company Plaid and previously worked at Splunk. Before the incident, she lived with her boyfriend in an apartment on Clay Street. Ms. Wang's death was found during a routine check-up, calling it a case of domestic violence, but no further details were disclosed.
This incident has caused waves on the Internet, some women jokingly call it a piece of advice for people who are afraid of marriage and love, and some people say that it is useless to call the police, and the police don't care at all!But is this really something that the police can't do in the United States?Attorney Elliid conducted a legal analysis of this.
Don't bar!Domestic violence is a crime
Domestic violence, abbreviated as domestic violence, refers to physical, mental, or treatment behaviors that occur in family relationships or between family members.
In the United States, domestic violence is considered a crime, and the police will step in to deal with the situation. Whether a woman in a relationship or a married woman is subjected to domestic violence, she can be protected by law.
U.S. state laws on domestic violence vary, but in general,** reported domestic violence is investigated and protective measures may be taken, such as issuing a restraining order or arresting the abuser. Victims can also obtain protection and support through legal means, including applying for a protection order, filing a civil lawsuit, or reporting it to the police.
Women in both romantic relationships and married women have the right to legal protection and support to ensure their safety and well-being.
How can women protect themselves from domestic violence?
If a woman experiences domestic violence, there are steps she can take to protect herself. Attorney Aylid has some advice for women:
When you experience domestic violence, your first priority is to ensure your own safety. Leave the abuser and go to a safe place, such as a friend's or family member's home, or even to a police station or shelter. You can also contact the Domestic Violence Crisis** or your local social service agency for counseling and legal assistance.
After experiencing domestic violence, collect and retain any form of evidence, such as injuries, medical records, text messages, emails, diaries, etc., which can be used as evidence to support yourself. If you're feeling emotionally unstable, you can find someone who supports and understands you, such as a friend, family member or a professional counselor, to help you get through difficult times.
According to Elliid, the most important thing for women who are victims of domestic violence is to know that they have a right to be protected and that it is okay to seek help.
