Story of abuse on 20/20

I was clicking through TV channels this morning and ended up seeing part of a story about a woman's experience with domestic violence on Good Morning America. The husband had his son video taping him abuse his wife (son's mother). This was to be a "training" video for the son. The story also tells how the woman's boss or co-worker (can't remember) was able to get her away from this situation. The abuser was eventually charged with 12 counts of assault and was sentenced to 36 years in prison. The whole story will be on 20/20, I believe tonight.

WARNING: This was a very graphic, disturbing video. It may be too much for some of us to watch. But, I am curious on how she managed to leave and how it was determined the abuser serve 36 years in jail.

God bless us all. Give us strength, Lord.

I saw this; it was excellent. I hope that people out there who aren't familiar with DV had a chance to see it and realize that yes, abusers DO get "that bad"!
