You know, I get what everyone is saying. However, there is a conversation going on with the police and the Family of Men Society on the inappropriate actions of the police with a man and his boy seeking help from an abusive wife. The problem is while I got the information from the FOM individual (Not the father) who was there and I read the response letters from the police. It is clear that the police actions were not honest or helpful and they are trying to wipe it under the rug by saying that cornering the man and arresting him (removing him from the situation) is policy and they did nothing wrong. They didn't arrest him because the FOM guy stepped in and stopped the confrontation before escalation. This is just an example - if people call it hersay then they are just ignoring the situation. Instead they should be asking for more information and see if it is true!
The man was asking for help for his boy and himself.
And the other stories of fathers are similar. Where there is smoke there is fire.
