One sign of a bad economy -- domestic violence increases. But the numbers don't begin to tell the whole story. KING 5's Jean Enersen introduces us to one woman who has lived through the horror and the family tragedies, and now offers hope to other victims.

Domestic Violence is an unforgivable crime.It happens anywhere in the world.I have read a news about a British family who Googled “the easiest way to kill an old person,” then went into action. As reported by the Daily Mail, the quartet plus one then beat their 89-year-old grandfather with bricks inside plastic bags. The patriarch, who grants the household a big inheritance, escaped with 11 wounds to his brain and body.Source for this article:

The article was good, though king 5 news broadcasts to more than Seattle area so if someone from another area wants help, they need to know what the local domestic violence agency numbers are. The national domestic violence hotline is 800-799-7233 and the Washington State domestic violence hotline is 800-562-6025. These numbers will get a person in touch with an agency in whatever area the survivor lives in.
