ASSAULTED UNDER DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE.
SEEMS TO BE PUTTING PERFUME ON
THE PIG.
DOMESTIC SOUNDS TRANQUIL.
ANYTHING BUT.
IN THIS CASE THE VICTIM WAS
ASSAULTED AND KIDNAPPED IN THE
AND DEFENDANT’S EX-BOYFRIEND’S
TRUCK.
HE THREATENED HER WITH A
SCREWDRIVER AND SAID BASICALLY
IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU NOBODY WILL.
AND A GAS STATION SHE USED THE
INTERNATIONAL SIGN THAT SHE WAS
IN DOMESTIC DANGER WHICH IS
THIS.
AND VERY OFTEN YOU MAY SEE IT
AND NOT KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
SHE MADE THAT SIGN TO THE CLERK
WHO CALLED POLICE WHEN POLICE
ARRIVED, LISTEN TO THIS.
WHEN HE SAW THE SHERIFFS ARRIVE.
HE TOOK OFF AND LED THEM ON A
HIGH-SPEED CHASE CRASHED INTO A
RAVINE INTO A CREEK.
IF HE WOULD DO THAT TO SHERIFFS,
WHAT WOULD HE HAVE DONE TO THIS
VICTIM ALONE IN THAT TRUCK WITH
HIM?
RACHEL: IT’S AMAZING.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU WHEN I READ
THIS STORY I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT
THIS HAND SIGNAL.
IF SOMEBODY HAD DONE THIS TO ME
I WOULDN’T HAVE KNOWN WHAT THAT
MEANT.
SO NOW I MOW IS THIS SOMETHING
WE SHOULD BE TEACHING ALL OF OUR
CHILDREN?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE TAUGHT
IN SCHOOL.
AND FOR ONCE, I’M THANKFUL FOR
TIKTOK.
USUALLY TRYING TO DRAG MY
CHILDREN OFF OF IT THEY JUST LIE
ON THEIR PHONES.
FOR ONCE I’M GRATEFUL BECAUSE
THEY, TIKTOK ARE REALLY CREDITED
WITH MAKING THE SIGN READILY
RECOGNIZABLE.
I REALLY BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE
TAUGHT IN SCHOOL STARTING IN
PRE-K AND HERE’S THE DEAL.
WHEN I PROSECUTED I ALSO WORKED
AS A VOLUNTEER AT THE BATTERED
WOMEN’S CENTER AT NIGHT, THIS IS
WHAT I KNOW.
IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE THE
STATISTICS YOU READ IN BLACK AND
WHITE REMEMBER THIS I HAVE NEVER
SEEN A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
SITUATION GET BETTER.
I KNOW THAT’S NOT WHAT VICTIMS
WANT TO HEAR.
THEY BELIEVE THEY CAN FIX IT
HALLMARK MOVIE AND THE CHRISTMAS
CARD.
NO, THAT’S NOT HAPPENING.
IF YOU CAN’T SAVE YOURSELF OR
DON’T WANT TO, THINK OF YOUR
CHILDREN, BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING
TO GROW UP THINKING IT’S OKAY TO
BEAT MOMMY.
RACHEL: NANCY, IT’S NOT JUST
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, WE SEE
ESPECIALLY WITH OUR OPEN BORDER
AND INCREASE IN CHILD SEX
TRAFFICKING, AND I THINK YOU ARE
RIGHT.
I MEAN, OUR CHILDREN LEARN SOFT,
DROP AND ROLL.
THEY SHOULD LEARN THIS AS WELL.
PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN
TEACHING THEM ABOUT GENDER
FLUIDITY IN KINDERGARTEN.
THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO HELP
THEM MUCH MORE.
SO, YEAH, I AGREE WITH YOU
100 PERCENT.
NOW PEOPLE KNOW THIS IS THE
INTERNATIONAL SIGN IF YOU SEE
SOMEBODY LIKE DOING THIS YOU
NEED TO CALL THE POLICE AND GET
THEM HELP.
>> CAN I TELL YOU WHAT STICKS?
MY MIND?
HOW MANY HOMICIDE MURDER CASES I
HAVE PROSECUTED THAT WERE
VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC RAGE.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
IT DOES NOT GET BETTER.
FAMILY, FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS,
THEY HAVE AN IDEA OR MAYBE THEY
HAVE NO IDEA AT ALL.
THIS WOMAN HAD TO REACH UP TO A
STRANGER AT THE GAS STATION WHO
LITERALLY SAVED HER LIFE.
ABBY: ABSOLUTELY.
NANCY, YOU ALWAYS HAVE A HEART
FOR JUSTICE.
THAT HE WAS WHY I LOVE YOU SO
MUCH.
I LOVE YOUR SHOW ON FOX NATION.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS
MORNING --
>> -- HAPPY AND BLESSED EASTER.
RACHEL: TO YOU TOO.
