Republican U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno from Ohio is calling out fellow Republican congressman, Max Miller, who used to be married to his daughter, for physically abusing and threatening her. Senator Moreno has been silent up until now, after his daughter accused Miller of throwing boiling water on her, saying Congressman Miller has made it impossible to keep the matter private because of his “increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior.” Miller is running for re-election in a tight race in Ohio and has vehemently denied his ex-wife’s accusations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tamara Cook grew up poor in a small Texas town with eight siblings, a mother struggling to hold everything together, and a biological father who was never in the picture — and when her babysitter started abusing her at just seven years old the life she deserved was already being taken from her before she was old enough to understand what was happening. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, she shares how her mother fell into addiction and began pimping her out, how her parents splitting sent everything into further chaos, how she eventually started selling drugs herself and ultimately became a pimp — the exact monster she had always been afraid of and never wanted to become. She opens up about her own addiction the relationships the multiple children she was raising in the middle of everything, and what a seven year sentence in the Texas Department of Corrections finally did to give her back the life that started being taken from her when she was seven years old. _____________________________________________ #womeninprison #TrueCrime #redemptionstory #prison _____________________________________________ Connect with Tamara Cook: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@tamarasherrell87?si=0laBG70KXTx69hZI TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nobodybby87?_r=1&_t=ZP-98ZtlRlPlcc _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Tamara Cook Introduction 00:21 Growing Up in Amarillo 02:02 Early Family Life & Childhood Memories 06:46 Life Changes at Age Seven 09:05 Abuse and Family Struggles 13:17 Mother's Addiction Begins 20:28 Role Reversal: Becoming the Caregiver 23:12 Trauma, Betrayal & Survival 27:01 Deeper Into Abuse and Neglect 33:32 Adolescence in Chaos 39:00 Survival and First Crimes 43:43 Turning to the Streets & Dealing 49:57 Dealing Drugs and Gang Life 58:00 Solo Survival and Criminal Hustle 01:05:30 Becoming a Dealer and a Pimp 01:14:00 Running Operations and Family Fallout 01:26:02 Violence, Survival & Self-Defense 01:35:29 From Teen Mom to Emancipation 01:46:06 Trying to Be a 'Normal' Wife & Mother 01:56:02 Losing Children and Hitting Rock Bottom 02:05:40 Falling into Addiction 02:11:00 Deep Addiction, Homelessness & Jail Time 02:24:00 Year Under Investigation & Final Arrest 02:33:50 Prison: The Breaking Point 02:46:00 Life Changing Years Inside 03:02:00 Release, Recovery & Faith 03:14:00 Domestic Violence and New Beginnings 03:18:00 Career, Ministry, and Healing 03:26:00 Mother's Redemption and Passing 03:33:00 Forgiveness, Recovery and Purpose 03:35:51 Reflection & Message of Hope _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, Kelly has dedicated her career to helping others heal, rebuild, and rediscover their strength. Her work as a psychotherapist, combined with her own lived experience as a survivor, gives her a unique and powerful perspective on trauma, resilience, and empowerment. After surviving a life changing domestic violence incident in 2019, Kelly transformed her pain into purpose.

After growing up in a small town and dreaming of becoming a teacher, Jordan set out to create a life for herself post-high school. However, her trajectory changed when she began dating her husband-to-be. Over the years of their marriage, Jordan would be a victim to an escalating pattern of coercion, control, and violence. The violence would rise to an unprecedented level in October of 2022, when the man who promised to love Jordan kidnapped her and abused her for eleven days. His October 17th, 2022 arrest offered her immediate safety, but the legal battles that ensued afterwards signified the beginning of a whole new journey for Jordan. Her experiences led her to become a victim advocate and to fight for legal change for domestic violence victims everywhere. The Broken Cycle Media team is extremely grateful for Jordan's time, energy, and advocacy in the following episodes.Support Jordan:- Jordan's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wulfboysmommy- Jordan's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wulf.jordan- Jordan's Petition: https://www.change.org/p/reform-divorce-proceedings-for-domestic-violence-survivorsResources:If you believe you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency services.

A number of new state laws will take effect Aug. 1 and several of them relate to domestic violence. One details the process for giving up guns to law enforcement, when domestic violence offenders are required to do so. Another gives police more time to arrest alleged abusers without a warrant. Lawmakers also approved funding for organizations that serve domestic violence survivors. Jess Palyan is policy program manager for Violence Free Minnesota, a coalition of such groups. He spoke to Minnesota Now host Nina Moini about the changes.

The trends are sad, and head shaking. What can be done to keep the abuse from happening? State Representative Kelly Moller and others have some ideas that have been put into law, and those take effect starting Saturday. Find out more on The WCCO Morning News!

Everyone walks into family court assuming the “fair” answer is to split the kids right down the middle. Fifty-fifty. Equal time, equal say, problem solved. But what if that instinct toward fairness is quietly setting your children up for years of stress — and setting you up to lose the very argument you should be winning?In this conversation, Lisa sits down with veteran matrimonial attorney Gus Dimopoulos, who has spent 25 years handling complex, high-conflict divorce and custody cases in Westchester County and New York City. After his article “The Equality Trap” struck a nerve, we asked him to walk us through what he's really seeing in courtrooms — and why the growing assumption that 50/50 is automatically best can be, in his words, disastrous in practice.Gus explains something most parents never learn until it's too late: in New York, there is no legal presumption of shared custody. The law requires a best-interest analysis, and the question of a shared-custody presumption has come before the state legislature for 25 years without ever reaching a vote. Yet judges juggling hundreds of cases are under enormous pressure to settle custody early, and “just split it” starts to feel like the path of least resistance. Understanding that gap — between what the law actually says and what tends to happen in a crowded courtroom — changes how you prepare.We get into the practical reality nobody talks about: fifty-fifty demands a level of coordination, communication, and mutual respect that high-conflict co-parents simply don't have. When you add modern kids' schedules — sports, tutoring, therapy, club teams — an equal-time arrangement can turn every week into a battlefield. Gus also walks through parallel parenting and “spheres of influence” as a more realistic alternative for parents who can't cooperate: you take this domain, I take that one, and we keep out of each other's way so the kids aren't caught in the crossfire. He shares his most important courtroom lesson, too: judges reward the parent who shows up as a calm, prepared problem-solver with a pragmatic list of facts, not the parent who comes in with drama and accusations. If something doesn't work for your kids, you have to be able to show why — with logistics, work policies, train schedules, and evidence — rather than simply insisting the other parent is awful. We also talk about why putting real specifics into your parenting plan beats vague promises to “be cordial,” and why a child should never have to decide which parent to run to after scoring the game-winning goal.This one is essential listening whether you're negotiating a parenting plan, heading into a custody hearing, or trying to understand why the “fair” outcome keeps making your life harder. As always, this isn't legal advice for your specific case — it's strategic education to help you walk in better prepared.

When a murder ends in suicide, investigators lose one of the most important pieces of the puzzle—the person who could explain why. In this episode, I take you inside several recent murder-suicide cases from across the United States, including tragedies involving entire families, intimate partners, and parents and children. From Michigan to Oklahoma, Delaware, and Florida, these heartbreaking cases remind us that every scene tells a story, but it's the evidence that reveals what truly happened. As a forensic death investigator, I explain how investigators reconstruct these complex scenes by examining body position, injuries, blood evidence, trajectories, fire damage, digital evidence, timelines, and countless other details. When there is no suspect to interview, no trial, and often no suicide note, the investigation must rely on science, careful documentation, and the facts left behind. We'll also discuss why protective orders don't always prevent violence, why investigators avoid speculation during active cases, and why it's important to distinguish between homicide and suicide when understanding these tragedies. Throughout the episode, I share the questions investigators ask, the evidence they search for, and why the answers aren't always immediately clear. These cases are difficult to hear, but they also highlight the dedication of investigators, first responders, and forensic professionals who work tirelessly to uncover the truth for victims and their families. Join me as we explore the investigative process behind one of the most challenging types of death investigations, and the questions that often remain when murder ends in suicide.

Nearly one-third of homicides in Connecticut are connected to domestic violence. That's according to new analysis from state officials that highlights the continued impact of family and intimate-partner violence across the state. Following the results of this report, we spoke with Meghan Scanlon, President and CEO of the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence.For more information: https://www.ctcadv.org/

Domestic violence can have a lasting impact on women's mental health, often long before they seek help. In this SBS Hindi podcast, Professor Jayashri Kulkarni explains how trauma, family expectations and cultural pressures affect women, particularly those from migrant communities. She also discusses the importance of women-only mental health services, recognising the signs of abuse, and why ongoing support is crucial for women leaving abusive relationships.

Less than 10% of reported sexual assaults result in a conviction in Australia. So, what does it actually take to bring a rapist to justice? In part 2 of former police officer and survivor Caroline Clarke’s chat with Gary Jubelin, we find out exactly that. In this episode, Caroline details the aftermath of being sexually assaulted by a massage therapist - from the agonising decision to report, to becoming an active force in her case recording a confession that police called "the best they’d ever heard". Caroline also unpacks one of the most misunderstood reactions in trauma - the freeze response, a survival mechanism hardwired into all of us. Yet it still continues to be used against survivors in courtrooms, in conversations, and in their own heads. Caroline breaks down why it happens, how it works, and why the shame so many survivors carry about it is not only unfair, it's wrong. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

In this final episode of Season 5, we expose the warning signs of domestic violence-related murder-suicide with Danielle Edwards, Victim Services Coordinator for Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, and Kylee Elliott, Senior Program Coordinator for Training and Engagement at the Georgia Commission on Family Violence. Using a Georgia case study as a point of reference, we explore events leading up to the final act of violence, the ripple effects on surviving families and communities, and a practical approach to postvention that helps people heal and reduces future harm.This episode discusses homicide and suicide.We also dig into what the data can tell us and what it still misses. National figures point to roughly 1,200 deaths a year in murder-suicide incidents, with intimate partner violence making up most cases, and firearms playing an outsized role. Beyond the statistics, lie instances of coercive control, suicide threats, and financial abuse long before any physical violence is visible. We take an honest look at why survivors may not label their experience as abuse, how systems can unintentionally shut doors when shelters are full or safety planning is skipped, and why “just leave” ignores the realities of money, housing, isolation, and fear.We also focus on what happens after the unthinkable. Murder-suicide can leave a wide circle of survivors including children, extended family, coworkers, and witnesses who face traumatic grief, stigma, and overwhelming practical needs. Danielle and Kylee explain postvention and why they treat postvention as prevention, including Georgia's survivor-driven Support for Survivors of Murder Suicide Project, clinician networks, support groups, and a freely shared response protocol communities can adapt now.

If you have already left an abusive relationship and you're now staring down the family court system, this conversation was made for you. Lisa Johnson of Been There Got Out sits down with Liz Ortenberger, CEO of SafeNest, the largest domestic and sexual violence nonprofit in Las Vegas, Nevada, for a frank discussion about what actually works once you're in front of a judge.Here's the hard truth Liz names out loud: the court will never understand your abuser the way you do. Judges are busy, they're drawn to whoever tells the cleanest, most linear story, and many of them quietly assume that a mother fighting for custody may be exaggerating the abuse to gain an advantage. That isn't fair - but it is the room you're walking into, and pretending otherwise helps no one.So what do you do with that? Liz lays out a survivor's playbook that lines up almost perfectly with what we coach every day. Get it into the record that your children witnessed the abuse, because a child witnessing abuse has the same chemical brain reaction as a child being abused directly. Build your own clear, linear timeline before you ever walk into the courtroom. Think like a chess player rather than a boxer - anticipate your ex's next several moves and head them off, instead of just reacting. And document, document, document: photograph injuries, keep a private journal, tell a trusted friend, and email evidence to yourself so it carries a date stamp the other side can't explain away.She also shares a statistic that every survivor deserves to know: if you were strangled or choked during the relationship, your risk of a later lethal outcome rises dramatically - and that is something you can get documented medically and entered into the court record. Throughout, Liz zooms out to the bigger picture too: the history of the movement, why our systems haven't moved the numbers in 30 years, and what it would take to actually protect the next generation. Practical, honest, and genuinely useful whether you're just starting your case or years deep into it.A SURVIVOR'S COURT PLAYBOOK- How to get a child's exposure to abuse onto the official record - and why it counts- Building the clean, linear timeline judges actually respond to- Anticipating your ex's legal moves like a chess player instead of reacting like a boxer- The custody bias many survivors run into - and how to get ahead of it- A simple, free way to date-stamp your evidence so it can't be dismissed as fabricated- The strangulation statistic that belongs in your medical records and your court fileRESOURCES MENTIONED:SafeNest (Las Vegas): https://www.safenest.orgReach Liz's team: info@safenest.orgLook up your ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) score - and take it for your child, tooIf you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.

The New Capital Punishment: Exposing The Hidden Victims Of Police Violence When an individual enters law enforcement custody, the state becomes legally responsible for their life, yet unexplained fatalities happen during these interactions every single day. Our expert exposes a deeply flawed and biased system of death investigations, detailing the gaps in how in-custody deaths are documented and reveals why the truth about police-related fatalities is so often buried. Guest:  Terence Keel, professor of human biology & society, professor of African American studies, UCLA, author, The Coroner's Silence, Founding Director, Lab for BioCritical Studies   Behind Closed Doors Pt.2: The Legal Nightmare Of Male Abuse Survivors Male victims of intimate partner violence frequently face rejection from the very support systems meant to protect them.

Caroline Clarke spent nearly a decade as a police officer on the rough streets of West Yorkshire chasing down criminals, working the drugs squad, and stepping into homes torn apart by domestic violence. But nothing in her training prepared her for what happened when she became a victim-survivor herself. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Caroline opens up about growing up in a home where love and violence lived side by side, the silence she inherited from her mother, and the sexual assault that left her questioning why her body froze when she thought she would fight. Caroline breaks down the freeze response, a trauma reaction still misunderstood by police, juries, and the public, and explains why survivors are so often blamed instead of believed. Caroline is now the founder of the No More Silence movement, dedicated to helping survivors break their silence and shift the shame back to where it belongs. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

July 22, 2026 - We discuss an audit of the state's services for survivors of domestic violence with Kelli Owens, executive director at the State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence.

Nightlife News Breakdown with Philip Clark, joined by Greg Jericho, Columnist with the Guardian and Chief Economist with The Australia Institute.

New Jersey judges are now hearing from children directly in custody matters, and parents whose exes have spent years working on those children are alarmed. Nilaja Ford's counter is that the children were already in the middle of it. The revision changes who gets to hear them.Nilaja Ford co-founded Ford Brown Law with her partner Donnett Brown. Both were prosecutors for the state of New Jersey, and both specialize in domestic violence alongside family law. Nilaja handled domestic violence contempt matters on the prosecution side before moving into an exclusively matrimonial, custody, and domestic violence practice, and she has been conducting child interviews since before the statute was revised to formalize them. She and her partner also run a free legal-services clinic at a women's resource center in Newark. Everything she describes here is New Jersey practice, though she notes much of it tracks other states moving the same way.The conversation opens on hearsay, because it is where parents lose ground without understanding why. A letter from a therapist, a teacher, or a supportive friend generally cannot stand on its own at a hearing; the person who wrote it has to be available to be questioned. Nilaja walks through the exceptions she leans on, particularly business records like school attendance, and why expert reports come with the expectation that the expert can be asked how they reached their conclusions.She then explains what the revision, nicknamed children in charge, actually does. New Jersey's best-interest standard and its 14 factors are unchanged. What is clarified is the mechanism: a recorded interview with the judge, under a protective order rather than something a parent can post, with questions submitted by both sides. Age affects how much weight a child's preference carries, not whether they are heard. And the question she puts on her own list is not who do you want to live with, it is what the ideal arrangement would look like, in specifics, because the specifics are what reveal what is really going on.Nilaja and Lisa then work through the situations BTGO's clients live in. A parent asking for sole custody, and her first question, which is always why. Reporting abuse, and why the investigating body has to be the state agency rather than you. Cayden's Law, and what these changes are trying to prevent. A teenager who has already aligned with one parent, and Nilaja's uncomfortable point that acts and omissions count, that timing counts, and that a case arriving late arrives with a history already built. She also covers legal decision-making, stonewalling, and the 24-hour clause she has had written into orders so one parent cannot run out the clock on the other.As always, this is strategic education, not legal or mental-health advice for your specific situation.

This week on Pushing Up Lilies, I'm taking a closer look at the life and death of Alexandra "Allie" Hummel, a 36-year-old licensed nurse from Missouri whose unexpected death remains under investigation. Based on publicly available information, I walk through the timeline of events leading up to her death, including a documented domestic violence incident that occurred less than a year earlier and why that history is significant in any death investigation. From the 911 call to the pending toxicology results, I'll explain what investigators look for when responding to an unexpected death in the home, how prior incidents become part of the investigative process, and why every piece of evidence matters. As a forensic death investigator, I also share my professional perspective on scene documentation, autopsy findings, toxicology testing, and the importance of remaining objective while allowing the facts to determine the outcome. Most importantly, this episode is about Allie, a dedicated nurse, mother, daughter, sister, and friend whose loved ones continue to seek answers. While this investigation is still ongoing, her story also shines a light on the realities of domestic violence, the challenges victims often face, and why support systems are so important. Next week, I'll be joined by Allie's close friend, Kelsey, who will share personal memories of Allie and offer additional insight into the woman behind the headlines. If you or someone you love is experiencing domestic violence, please know that help is available. You are not alone.

If you have ever walked away from a relationship, or a parent, or a childhood, and still found yourself waiting for the person who hurt you to finally acknowledge what they did, this episode is going to reach something in you.Najwa Zebian is a writer, speaker, and the host of the podcast Beyond Words. Her work has reached millions of people around the world, and her new book is called The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You. I have been following her for years. A client sent me one of her videos at a time when I was carrying my own version of what my client was going through, and I have gone back to that video more times than I can count.In this conversation, we talk about the childhood wounds that quietly run the show in your adult relationships, why you keep finding yourself in rooms that feel familiar in all the wrong ways, and why the person who broke you is quite literally not the one who can put you back together. We get into inner child work in a way that I think will reach even the people who have always resisted it, including what happens the first time you try to show up for your younger self and she doesn't even look at you. We talk about the difference between compromise and self-sacrifice, what it means when they get worse after you start setting limits, and why healing is hard in a completely different way than staying is hard.Website: https://najwazebian.comBooks: https://najwazebian.com/booksPodcast (Beyond Words): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-words-with-najwa-zebian/id1827674653Instagram / TikTok / Facebook / YouTube: @najwazebianPre-order / order The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You: https://amzn.to/4v4rgitSupport the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

Is working with your partner a recipe for exploitation or one of the healthiest ways to build a meaningful, independent, well-resourced life? Many people hear "family business" or "couples in business" and think nepotism, blurred boundaries, and women being taken advantage of. Ruth and David are joined by Rigour and Flow hosts Aiwan Obinyan, filmmaker and founder of AiAi Studios, and Dr. Tamanda Walker, sociologist, researcher, and co-founder of research consultancy Roots and Rigour. These two couples who build businesses together talk candidly about what makes shared work healthy or extractive.They dig into cultural differences in work: why family business is honoured in Nigerian, Botswanan, and Latin traditions rather than treated as a red flag and how social, family, and religious conditioning can turn work into identity, compulsion, or escape. They separate work that's extractive from work that's additive and question the "we're a family" language corporations use to mask power dynamics, abuse, and exploitation. The four discuss how gender and sexuality shape how each couple is read differently. For a man and a woman working together, the suspicion is nepotism and a woman assumed to be there only because of her partner. For a same-sex couple, the calculus shifts: as two Black queer women, Aiwan and Tamanda expected heavy backlash but found it came more around race, colorism, and truth-telling about the exploitation of African people rather than gender. And they found that their partnership can sometimes be idiolised as the progressive representation people are hungry for. Underneath both is a shared commitment to telling the truth in partnership, even when it's uncomfortable.The two couples close with the work-life boundaries that actually protect the relationship and the rest: living by agreement, renegotiating those agreements as life changes, staying free to change roles rather than being reduced to a role and a task, and even establishing safe words for shutting down shop talk.If you've ever thought mixing love and business is dangerous, or you're building a mission-driven company, family business, or podcast with your partner and want healthy work-life boundaries, this one is for you. Subscribe, follow Rigour and Flow, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Send us Fan Mail Now available!

Send us Fan MailDomestic violence can be happening right next to us while looking completely “normal” from the outside, and that's one reason it's so hard to spot and even harder to talk about. We sit down with Sara Blevins, a domestic violence advocate and Director of Development at Branches Domestic Violence Shelter in West Virginia, to unpack what abuse actually looks like when it's driven by power and control, not just physical harm. If you've ever wondered how someone can seem polished, successful, and steady while living in fear, this conversation connects the dots without blame or oversimplified answers.We dig into safety planning and why there's no one-size-fits-all formula for leaving an abusive relationship. Sara explains how advocates think through real-life barriers like children, pets, hidden documents, limited money, and shifting risks. We also talk about why leaving often takes multiple attempts, how isolation is used to cut off support networks, and how the power and control wheel helps people name patterns like gaslighting, coercive control, and intimidation. One piece that hits especially hard: financial abuse can be the cage, from sabotaged credit to bills run up in a survivor's name.We also make space for hope. Sara shares what “the other side” can look like when survivors connect with shelter services, legal advocacy, and longer-term housing support, plus what friends and family can do to stay supportive without trying to control the outcome.

Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her. She truly believed she was going to die. On December 16, 2019, Kelly Sutliff's life changed forever. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio What began as another terrifying encounter with an abusive husband became a violent attack that nearly ended her life. She was strangled, beaten, thrown against walls, and held at knifepoint inside the home she once believed was a place of safety. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. By the time the attack ended, blood stained the walls, priceless family heirlooms had been destroyed, more than $60,000 in damage had been inflicted on her home, and Kelly was left wondering whether she would ever feel safe again. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Instead of allowing that horrific night to define her future, Kelly transformed unimaginable trauma into a mission that is now helping survivors across America. Her remarkable journey is the focus of a powerful interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartradio and other major Podcast and Social Media platforms. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her. "I Am Going To Die" For Kelly, the memories remain crystal clear. "December 16, 2019 was the date of the domestic violence attack. I can still vividly remember thinking and feeling... I am going to die." The violence wasn't spontaneous. Looking back, Kelly believes the abuse had been carefully built through manipulation, deception, coercive control, and isolation. The conversation is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and most other major podcast platforms, where audiences continue discovering firsthand accounts from those who have lived them. She says her husband destroyed treasured belongings connected to her late parents while forcing her to watch. Her beloved dog was also threatened. "He could kill my dog right in front of me," she recalls thinking. The attack escalated into strangulation, physical assault, and eventually a knife pressed against her throat. Her head crashed into sheetrock, leaving holes in the wall. Blood covered parts of the home. When the violence finally stopped, Kelly was alive, but emotionally shattered. Discovering She Wasn't His First Victim After escaping the relationship, Kelly uncovered an alarming pattern. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. She learned her former husband had allegedly assaulted three previous wives. The revelation changed everything. She realized the abuse had never been about her. Instead, she believes she had been intentionally targeted by someone seeking power and control. "I now know he pursued me with the intent to abuse me. He married me with the intent to control me." Those realizations became part of a much larger healing process. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her.  Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. The Abuse Didn't End After The Assault Many people believe domestic violence ends once a victim leaves. Kelly says that couldn't be further from the truth. She describes months of fear that continued through court proceedings. Physical stalking. Virtual stalking. Constant anxiety. Sleepless nights. She says she repeatedly sought protection through the criminal justice and family court systems, only to encounter frustration and disappointment. "I experienced firsthand what so many survivors know too well: a system that is deeply broken." For Kelly, surviving the attack was only the beginning. The challenge became learning how to live again. Domestic Violence Is A National Crisis Kelly's story reflects a much larger reality. According to national research, domestic violence affects millions of Americans every year. Although women experience severe intimate partner violence at disproportionately higher rates, men also become victims. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Domestic violence crosses every social, economic, racial, and geographic boundary. It includes physical violence, emotional abuse, coercive control, stalking, threats, intimidation, financial abuse, and psychological manipulation. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her. For many survivors, leaving the relationship is often the most dangerous time. The Dog That Changed Everything Everything began changing on August 6, 2020. That was the day Kelly met Stella. Not just any dog. A professionally trained German Shepherd personal protection dog. These highly specialized canines often cost anywhere from $15,000 to well over $175,000, depending on their level of executive or family protection training, obedience, experience, and age. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her.  The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Kelly remembers every second. "The trainer brought her out, and she sat down right beside me." Then something happened. As Kelly gently stroked Stella's back, a stranger approached. Without command, Stella calmly placed one paw across Kelly's ankle. It was a simple gesture. Yet Kelly instantly understood its meaning. "I've got you now." That single moment changed her life. "In that moment, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time: safety." Not temporary comfort. Real safety. For the first time since the attack, fear began losing its grip. Healing Through Protection Dog Training Kelly soon discovered Stella offered far more than physical security. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. The daily training created structure. Discipline. Routine. Trust. Confidence. Instead of living in survival mode, Kelly slowly began reconnecting with life. She started leaving the house again. She spent time with friends. She laughed. She smiled. She trusted people again. Most importantly, she stopped seeing herself only as a victim. "The positive impact my dogs and their training have had on me as a survivor of domestic violence has been profound. It has healed me." A New Purpose Emerges Kelly's journey didn't stop with Stella. She later welcomed another German Shepherd named Luca. Unlike Stella, Luca entered her life as an eight-week-old puppy. Kelly trained him in Schutzhund, the internationally recognized working-dog sport centered on obedience, tracking, and protection. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. Watching Luca earn his first title became another milestone in Kelly's own recovery. As the dogs grew stronger... So did she. Protection training became more than a hobby. It became therapy. Confidence. Purpose. Freedom. From Survivor To Founder Kelly realized countless domestic violence survivors were living exactly as she once had. Terrified. Isolated. Powerless. Many desperately wanted protection but simply couldn't afford professionally trained personal protection dogs. That realization inspired Kelly to establish Kelly's K9's, Tails of Courage. The nonprofit helps restore both physical and emotional safety for survivors of domestic violence by providing trained protection and support dogs while promoting independence, resilience, healing, and renewed confidence. Her Life After Surviving Extreme Domestic Violence: How Trained Personal Protection Dogs Helped Her. Listen to the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on their website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and most major podcast platforms. Its mission reflects Kelly's own transformation. The organization envisions survivors rebuilding their lives with courage rather than fear. Standing Tall Again Kelly says she knows exactly what survivors experience because she lived it herself. She remembers what constant fear feels like. She also remembers the day she finally breathed freely again. That is what she hopes every survivor will someday experience. "I want every survivor to know that feeling." She believes trained protection dogs offer much more than security. They restore confidence. Freedom. Control. Self-worth. Purpose. Hope. And sometimes... They help someone begin living again. Listen To Kelly's Powerful Story Kelly Sutliff's extraordinary journey from surviving extreme domestic violence to helping others through trained personal protection dogs is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Her story demonstrates that healing is possible, even after unimaginable trauma, and that hope can emerge from the darkest moments.

Having a dedicated team that handles coordinated domestic violence response is essential in preventing family violence. Joining us for today's episode of Down the Rabbit Hole is TCFV's Coordinated Response and Safety Strategies (CRSS) coordinator, Nicholas, to discuss high-risk domestic violence and coordinated responses to it. Tuning in, you'll hear all about what DVHRT stands for, what the purpose of it is, how having a dedicated DVHRT team has assisted in this work, a little bit about the DVHRT report, and trends Nicholas is seeing in the data. We delve into action steps organizations can take as a response to this data before discussing some promising DVHRT practices and some common traits successful DVHRT community partnerships possess. Our guest even touches on the delicate nature of using survivor stories in these programs. Finally, Nicholas talks about some of the most surprising DVHRT partnerships and shares his hopes for the future of DVHRT. Please note that this episode carries a trigger warning for domestic violence, so listen with care. 

According to SPARC, stalking is a pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety or the safety of others, or suffer substantial emotional distress. In this episode, we sit down with stalking survivor and advocate Nicole Bialko to name what stalking really looks like and why it so often gets romanticized or minimized. Using Nicole's personal experience as a backdrop, we walk through warning signs, documentation, and what it takes to keep pushing for safety when the system feels hard to navigate.We also get practical about respecting our own intuition and about what matters most when you're trying to stay safe: understanding stalking as a pattern of behavior that causes fear or substantial emotional distress, and building documentation that clearly shows that pattern. Nicole shares tips for creating a simple timeline, saving texts and emails, capturing time-stamped photos or video, and gathering witnesses when possible. We also talk about the reality of reporting stalking, including moments of support from law enforcement and the frustration that can hit once a case moves into the court system, where communication gaps and plea deals can leave survivors feeling minimized.
