Thanks
for your note. Your email has
me both worried and concerned.
I hope that whoever you are
talking about has been able
to find some support. I'm not
sure what she has done thus
far, therefore, it's hard to
make further suggestions. For
instance, even though she was
assaulted by a police officer,
has she tried reporting it to
the police--at a minimum in
a nearby precinct who might
be more willing to listen.
Also, has she gone to the emergency
room or to a doctor? Perhaps
the doctor could intervene on
her behalf--as well as could
a social worker. It's no secret
that police officers are guilty
of this type of injustice and
it's also no secret that his
"buddies" are likely to protect
him--even if it means going
against what is right, and what
is under their job's description.
Another option--especially given
the potential injustice have
been done--is to go to a lawyer.
However, my guess is that a
lawyer is going to want you
to have taken the above suggested
steps first.
I hope that helps--and I hope
this woman is okay.
