I appreciated former Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel’s recent op-ed on domestic violence and the importance of victim support. As a Riverside resident, I can attest to Weitzel’s professionalism and the respect many have for his thoughts and opinions.
I am also familiar with the struggles survivors face since I am a long-time volunteer for Sarah’s Inn, a domestic violence agency in Forest Park. I often take phone calls from survivors who are confused, scared and worried about their futures. We are trained to offer options and to weed through that confusion. The choices are never easy.
