MARSHALL Nine years after she disappeared, the family of Mary Lands wants people to remember she is gone.
more at link.The case continues to remind the community about domestic violence, according to Jennifer Fopma, director of SAFE Place, a Battle Creek shelter for victims of the crime. Fopma said victims of domestic violence like Lands are scared to stay in the relationship and afraid to leave.
When a woman leaves, her risk of being murdered increases by 75 percent, Fopma said, because the crime is one of control. This is not a private family matter, it is a crime. And its devastating if we let it continue in silence. This is a community issue. This case really highlights how difficult it is for a domestic victim to leave. It doesnt mean they shouldnt leave, but it is more difficult than people believe. Lets give Mary the voice she deserves and end domestic violence.
