    To the Person that Commented in the Previous Post about Joseph Childers - You really have NO CLUE - What kind of Person he is - This is NO MISUNDERSTANDING - THIS IS A CRIME - Hopefully he gets Prosecuted for Hitting his Wife and Choking Her... Then taking her Cell Phone so she could not call the Police.

    She needs to take her Child and Get away from this Sociopath - No Person deserves to be Battered and Beaten - In the Name of Love - - -

    "The most dangerous domestic violence offenders strangle their victims. The most violent rapists strangle their victims.

    We used to think all abusers were equal. They are not.

    Our research has now made clear that when a man puts his hands around a woman’s neck, he has just raised his hand and said, “I’M A KILLER.” They are more likely to kill police officers, to kill children, and to later kill their partners. So, when you hear “He choked me,” now we know

    YOU ARE AT THE EDGE OF A HOMICIDE.

    Physically and mentally hurting your wife, leaving bruises and strangulation marks is not a misunderstanding, it's the evidence of someone with a temper.
