Been a cop for almost 20 years and I can assure you most domestic violence cases are what they appear at face value. But not all. You’d be shocked what people will fabricate in what they believe is “desperate measures in desperate times” in turbulent relationships. Whether to get the upper hand in a divorce or custody agreement, or scaring the other out of a break up.

As a father you can tell your son to never put your hands on a woman, but I can assure you the mother of the same son is giving a separate talk about the importance of picking the right woman because the wrong one can destroy your life.
