Stopping Domestic Violence
Sharlene's Angels On Earth Inc. Is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization that is committed to helping stop Domestic Violence and in
helping children with life-threatening illnesses receive the operations they need.
Summer of 2001 holds many local and national events to help promote the end
to our nation's #1 CRIME, Domestic Violence. Domestic Violence destroys
more families than any other crime in this country.
Domestic Violence has no gender or age, even though most reported cases are
those that involve abuse towards a woman.
Everyone suffers from the effects of DV: men, women, children, the young,
and the old, and it is happening in every town, city, and state, in every
ethnic group, culture and neighborhood.
In your own community there are people who at this very moment are being
tortured, some may even die at the hand of a person out of control. These
people who are out of control are husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends,
lovers, parents, and the list goes on.
The way we are going to start ending this nightmare is going to be when
everyone in each community says NO MORE! WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
We have written a play, "Smiling Through the Tears", the play, to
help promote public awareness. You can find out more about this play
here. If you would like this play to come to your
area, please contact us.
And please remember Domestic Violence Month is October. Contact your local
Domestic Violence agencies, shelters, organization and offer your free time
to help end this CRIME in your community.
We are also asking that everyone in each community and state to petition
their congress men/women, representatives and the government locally and
nationally, to put together an ABUSER List/File made available to the
public so that abuser will be listed just like child molesters. We want
everyone to petition that the laws governing Domestic Violence change from
being a Misdemeanor to a Felony from the beginning.
Even if you have never experienced Domestic Violence yourself, there is
someone you know or in your family or who works in your office who is a
Victim of DV.
Anyone can be a Victim, anyone can be an Abuser, there is no stereotype.
Do not blame the Victim, do not pass judgement on them. Be a friend to talk
to/cry to, then direct them to your local DV agency or shelter, because it
is not as easy as it may seem to you an outsider. In most cases the Victim
can not just LEAVE. But when the time comes that they can leave, help them
as far as supporting them in their decision, get them to a shelter, or call
the police when you know Domestic Violence is happening to them. (Warning
-- until the Victim has found the strength in themselves to leave, all your
talking, warning etc. will fall on deaf ears. The victim must make this
decision on their own otherwise they will go back to their abuser. But a
911 call can stop a black eye or worse.)
Domestic Violence is child abuse and neglect. Parents who have domestic
Violence in their homes can and do lose their children to state agencies.
No child should see, hear, or be a part of Domestic Violence.
To start a Chapter or sub-office of Sharlene's Angels On Earth Inc. in your
