 On the show this week we hear about the link between domestic violence and spyware, as well as get an update on what's going on in our nation's capital on gun safety and domestic violence--and how the two are interlinked. Our next segment covers the criminalization of motherhood, including an update on the mom who was arrested for letting her 9 year old play in the park while she worked. Then the next interview covers football, violence against women, and how if abuse can be provoked by triggering the aggressor as some have said, then there would be a lot more violence towards the sports world's most powerful men and coaches too.   Last but far from least we hear from a mom who just got back from sharing her personal story with an entire U.S. Senate Committee.  Find out what she had to say!
