Domestic Violence Law Being Widened

:wave: I know this should probably go in law, but I thought it'd get more views here.
Please move it mods if you want to.

I just wanted to let everyone know about the change in domestic violence laws. It now covers psychological abuse, and 16 and 17 year old's.

It's still not perfect, but I think it'll make a big difference. Remember that if you're in an abusive relationship there are ways out, seeing your doctor could be a good first step :heart:

    Didn't read the full story but anything that can help those who are stuck in horrible abusive situations is a good thing in my book. :)

    Bit late for what I went through, but it's so important. When I was 17/18 I had no protection like that and could have really used it. Hopefully it will help many others though.
