why is this a problem

This is a problem because small kids and older kids are being killed or harshly hurt. For example a little boy named Cyrus was thrown of a bridge by his drunken father into the H-1 freeway then the little boy was ran over by a truck and died. During this the mother was out smoking meth. This inccident happed on January, 17, 2008 in hawaii. This changed my life because i wanted the father to go to jail but i didnt even know him or his family. With out the problem of domestic violence many children would still be alive and many children would be happy and well. If this does not stop the world will be a very violent place and many people will not want to live in hawaii because of it.

What's the problem?

Domestic violence is a big problem for the hawaiian islands. Hawaii is the 4th most violent state. The way domestic violence is passed is that children witness violence and most children that pass this trait are boys. Boys or men usually start to show signs or violent behaver when they are 16 years of add. As boys and the abusers the women are the abused. 1/3 of abused women are reported as killed in police records. Also before a partner is killed the female is harshly abused. People abuse because they want to overpower the other partner. They do this to limit the time for family or friends. But this problem isn't always in a adult relationship. Domestic violence can happen in teens, homosexuals, and bysexual couples. It's an equal amount of opportunity to hurt each other.
