They can order G.P.S. monitoring. They can order all sorts of things, restrictions on contact, restrictions on weapons possession. But at the end of the day, it's a piece of paper and, you know, law enforcement can’t stand outside the door of every single petitioner's residence to protect them," he continued.Dr. Kathie Mathis, a doctor of psychology, said the threat of domestic violence remains, in part because judges don't know how to protect victims."This is where it goes back to. Even if you do everything right, if you've got a judge that's ignorant and undertrained and doesn't consult with experts, this can happen. And that's the unfortunate thing. It's like a victim does everything right. But perpetrators are not expected to do what they're supposed to do. They're treated with more rights than a victim does," said Dr. Mathis."The one thing that I would say and that I would just beat the drum on and that I have done for 27 years, is that if you feel you're in an unsafe situation, seek relief. Seek help. talk to people. anything, even if it's just not like, you know, you'll never do that or, you know, I'm sure I'll be okay," said Senescu.If you or someone you know needs help, you can always call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE, text START to 88788, or chat with someone online.</div></body>
