Last Friday (26th June) a Daily Post front page story by Owen Hughes highlighted a rise in incidents of domestic violence bringing the total to 11,000 reported in North Wales last year – and who knows how many went unreported?Domestic violence, beatings, abuse, threats are commonplace in some households; women and children are usually the victims (but not always). Whatever the complexities of the situation no one should have to live in fear.
There is a 24-hour Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0800 80 10 800. Calls are free and confidential.
