Mel Gibson’s violent threats and allegations of hitting his infant daughter and ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva have shocked and angered domestic violence groups who demand that the actor be held accountable for his actions.
“I think he should get very strong consequences,” Rita Smith, the executive director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.
“I do not think anger management classes should be considered. It could be jail, or a fairly long batterers' intervention program of more than just a couple weeks,” said Smith, although she thinks it will be unlikely that a judge puts him behind bars.
Smith is concerned that if the Braveheart star doesn’t get sufficient punishment, then there will be no record if he committed the alleged atrocities – and nothing to stop him from repeating them. “Why would abusers stop if those (anger management classes) are the consequences they get? It’s pretty small comparatively speaking.”
