🤷‍♀️Domestic Violence Resources🤷

Kimber • TTC COACH/ADVOCATE

I received a phone call from my son's friends mother asking for resources for domestic violence because her husband is constantly beating on her & the police won't do anything. I told her I am willing to help her get a protective order but she's worried DCS will remove her kids (7,11,13) I don't know what to do for her. I tried giving her the hotline# but she states that they've told her to leave him, problem is they are illegal immigrants & she has no 1 here to go to. Idk if someone else could give me some ideas to help her out. 🤷

Are there shelters in your area? Or a church made up of menees from her country? Where I live the Catholic Church has helped undocumented immigrants with abusivo husbands. Also we have a shelter that helps.

This is the best idea. If she doesn’t have an ID, proof of address, etc...to prove you live in the county or what not, they will sadly turn her away. A church is probably one of the best options for her in terms of getting help, and keeping her children with her. Very sad

Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do if they are here illegally. Also, don’t offer her to stay at your house you do not need to get you and your family in the middle of it. See if she knows anyone else in the area who she could stay with.

DCS should remove her kids until she can get out and that will create a record of domestic violence.

*Update* so I helped her by filing a police report and speaking w/ a detective signed to her case about pressing charges. An Advocate will take her to file for a restraining order this Friday so hopefully All this will do the job & her & her children can start living there lives in peace. Thank All of You for your comments/help. I appreciate it.

If there are faith based women's shelters, I would recommend that she go there. They're safer and cleaner, and don't check legal status. Some larger churches even have housing for women with children seeking help.

It sucks but if she went to get help, she would be put in a detention center for immigrates. I wish there was something I could say that would help her but there isn’t I don’t think.
