Hi jay,

Only when we've figured out how to deal with it by itself can we figure out how to deal with it in the presence of confounding factors.
Why not go back to doing it the old fashioned way?
Take the abusive person out to the city limits and stone them to death.
I know a little drastic.
I had a teacher in elementary school that had a drinking abusive husband. He came in drunk one night and started shooting at everybody with a 22 rifle. Everyone escaped as he was too drunk to aim the rifle. When he went to sleep she rolled him up and sewed him in the sheet. When he woke up and begin fussing she got the baseball bat and beat him unmercifully. When she got tired of beating on him she cut the sheet treated his wounds. Then she told him, "the next time you come in drunk and beat on us, I will kill you". He must have believed her because until he died some 15 years later he never drank another drop or raised his hand to hurt her or any of the children.
That might have been drastic but she never had to try to explain to some 3rd grade student why she had a black eye or other bruises.
Back to present day reality.
To solve the problem we would have to have specific laws with specific consequences for breaking them.
There could be no exceptions religious or otherwise.
The first order of business would be to triple the hotel rooms in our prisons. Or impose the death penalty.
God Bless,
