BBC News: Backlash over 'stay with abuser' posts shared by Essex Police
"A police force has faced a backlash over social media posts that appeared to support domestic abuse victims staying with their partners.
Sheila's Story describes how a woman who "knew that the abuse in her relationship was wrong" is given help and support to stay with her husband.
Twitter and Facebook users criticised the "incredibly dangerous message".
Essex Police apologised for the offence caused by the post's use of "clumsy language".
"However, the stories featured in the campaign are real stories," a force spokesman said."
So basically today's message is that each and every instance of domestic violence should result in the victim leaving. Tehre is no other option.
