you mean to tell me, you are going to send someone who beat a women to volunteer at a battered women's shelter? That's like letting a pedophile volunteer at a day care. Why in the frick would you let someone that large and intimidating, along with his history be around these delicate women?

I see your point but I think they're a little different. I'm not a mental illness pro, but pedophilia would require some sort of desire or uncontrollable urge to have sexual encounters with children. An abuser doesn't necessarily have that type of uncontrollable urge (for the most part). I would imagine an abuser has anger issues and lack of self control, something they could arguably control. Pedophiles may not have that for the most part.

Now, placing a known abuser in a women's shelter would still be a reach, imo. Especially a high profile person that is known to have hit women.

Again, completely off topic
