Is hidden camera what you would recommend for a woman whose spouse was coming at her with a bat? Take it that first time then get on tape next time? Or maybe try to establish a pattern by taping the first 10-15 incidents where he hits her with a bat?
Yeah right.
I think you are right about the real option. Stop it before it reaches that point. A man is well within his rights to leave an abusive relationship.
But you should acknowledge that doing so means giving up his children, his home, and a large portion of his income, and his social standing. That's simply the social reality. You can't video tape your way out of it.
