Domestic violence

Our new neighbourhood is typically quite peaceful and quiet. But not tonight. Around 930pm we started hearing some screaming and banging. But when we look outside of our window, we can't see anything. Around 945pm, I heard someone knocking on our door and my FIL calling DH to go downstairs.

After a while I understood what was happening. Our Indian neighbour's drunken son bashed up the entire family. According to DH, the father & mother had blood on them. DH called in the police.

When the police came, the mother actually told the police that she wanted it to be settled via Family Court and not leave any criminal record with the police. I guess this wasn't the 1st time it had happened to them.

Sigh.. how can anyone be able to raise their hand to beat the persons whom are the closest to them?

Unable to comprehend.
