Now if that was the husband hitting the wife,the cops would have been called. That is a double standard.
I can't be done with those so called Funny's, I think I know the one you mean, No1 son showed me on YouTube, like the kid falling out of the swing, not so very funny at all.
I deal with the fallout from abuse, either mental or physical. Both sides need to be dealt with, and you are right, just as many men get beaten up by their partners (male or female) as women, and they stay silent because being a man makes it harder to ask for help.
Looks as if this case was high profile and therefore fuel for the press to sell papers, not rescue the wife or the mental state of the boxer.
