Welcome
to
the
love
of
connections.
I
am
your
host
david
britt
and
we're
going
to
talk
about
something
pretty
serious
today.
Hopefully,
you
have
not
been
affected
by
domestic
related
fatalities,
but
many
in
our
community
have
many
no
said
that
have
been
on
both
sides
of
unfortunately.
But
the
question
is:
what's
being
done
about
it,
what
has
been
done?
What
other
systems
in
place
doing
what
can
be
improved
upon?
What
can
we
do?
What
can
they
do?
What
can
all
of
us
do
to
help
prevent
it
and
to
understand
those
things
that
may
be
triggered?
A
Well,
there
isn't
is
an
organization
that
is
taking
up
just
that
task.
The
domestic
violence
roundtables
incorporated,
and
the
good
thing
is
that
you
can
find
out.
You
can
contribute
as
well
they're
going
to
have
a
lunch
and
learn.
It
is
coming
up
on
Wednesday
March
pace
and
with
me
here
is
Miss
Sally
Haskin
she's
we're
gonna
talk
about
this,
we're
gonna
get
to
the
bottom
of
this
we're
going
to
just
let
you
know
what
can
be
done
about
it.
Welcome.
A
C
I
think
I
have
seen
things
get
better
as
far
as
the
system
and
the
accountability
and
things
have
changed
a
lot
since
we
first
started.
We've
changed
from
being.
This
is
just
a
private
family
matter
better
to
a
recognition
that
this
is
a
community
issue,
that
this
is
something
that
everyone
needs
to
be
a
part
of,
and
to
stop
essentially
absolutely
that.
A
C
The
systems,
the
powers
that
be
say,
for
instance,
the
sheriff's
office,
the
District
Attorney's
Office,
the
police
department
and
other
pivotal
organizations
who
may
interact,
including
hope,
harbor,
which
is
a
battered
women
shelter
here
who
may
interact
with
not
only
the
victim
of
family
violence
but
also
with
a
perpetrator,
came
together
and
we
studied
a
local.
It
was
actually
a
murder-suicide
here
in
town
and
the
purpose
of
that
is
to
see
if
we
can
find
any
gates
in
the
system.
Any
places
for
intervention
that
may
have
been
missed.
That.
C
You
know
this
has
been
going
on
actually
for
about
15
years
and
and
we
do
it
in
partnership
with
the
Georgia
commission
against
family
violence
and
and
it's
done
all
across
Georgia,
so
not
just
here.
This
is
the
second
time
they've
done
it
here
in
the
Chattahoochee
Judicial
Circuit,
and
there
are
some
commonalities
that
spring
up
across
the
state.
For
instance,
we
have
noticed
that
there
are
possible
points
of
intervention
say
with
the
employer
often
times
and
in
some
instances
the
actual
domestic
violence
related
fatality
takes
place
at
the
victims,
place
of
employment.
C
So
that's
a
commonality
that
we
see
all
across
the
state
aight.
Another
place
of
intervention
that
has
been
identified
in
the
past
is
places
of
worship,
oftentimes,
victims
and
even
perpetrators
of
family
violence
will
go
and
seek
help
and
assistance
from
their
pastor
from
their
rabbi.
So
this
is
a
point
of
intervention
that
has
been
identified
and
I.
Think
a
recommendation
that
will
probably
come
out
from
the
fatality
review
is
that
we
need
to
do
more
to
bring
education
to
these
other
systems.
Don't
you
know.
A
C
A
C
I
can
tell
you
that,
as
we
said,
this
organization
has
been
around
for
a
while.
We
have
lots
of
different
partners,
including
some
of
the
ones
I've
mentioned
before
the
victim/witness
office.
Of
course,
from
both
the
district
attorney
these
office,
the
Solicitor
General's
Office
I-
actually
work
at
Georgia
legal
services.
We
are
one
of
the
founding
members
of
the
domestic
violence
round
table
and
we
actually
helped
to
incorporate
the
domestic
violence
roundtable.
Some
other
organizations
hope
harbor,
which
is
the
battered
women
shelter.
You
also
have
folks
that
are
about
accountability
for
the
batterer.
C
For
instance,
you
have
probation
and
parole
those
type
of
systems.
Defects
participates.
All
of
these
different
organizations
participate
sexual
assault
center.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
organizations
official
organizations,
but
we
also
have
people
who
just
come
people
in
the
community
who
are
interested
in
this
issue
and
they
come
every
month
and.
B
C
A
C
A
C
I
think
it's
going
to
talk
more
about
what
the
process
was,
because
there
is
a
process,
so
Shelly
Hall,
who
is
with
the
victim/witness
Office
for
the
District
Attorney's
Office.
She
was
actually
the
chair
person
or
one
of
the
co-chairs
of
the
fatality
review
action
team
that
the
domestic
bonds
roundtable
formed
and.
B
C
In
her
action,
team
chose
the
particular
fatality
to
be
reviewed
and
then
what
they
do
is
they
interviewed
a
bunch
of
different
people
who
were
involved
or
who
were
seen
to
be
important
with
the
the
particular
fatality
and
that
can
be
from
family
members
were
interviewed.
Perhaps-
and
this
is
of
course,
after
the
fact
also
people
who
were
pivotal
in
the
investigation
saved
the
police
department
who
investigated
the
death.
C
And
so
and
then
it
culminated
all
in
a
meeting
where
these
different
systems
came
together
and
talked
about
it,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
there
will
be
very
clear
recommendations
that
are
made
as
to
suggestions
of
how
we
in
the
Columbus
area
can
maybe
change
the
way
we
address
issues
regarding
family
violence
and
also
in
holding
the
perpetrator
or
perpetrators
accountable.
All
right.
So
let.
A
C
And
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
what
resources
are
available
and
a
lot
of
times,
it's
just
a
matter
of
connecting
people
with
the
right
resources
in
order
to
get
the
help
that
they
need
and,
for
instance,
I
work
at
georgia
legal
services,
so
my
focus
is
going
to
be
on
helping
people,
perhaps
with
getting
a
civil
protective
order,
our
family
boss,
protective
order
or
assisting
the
victim
of
violence
with
a
divorce
or
our
phones,
our
custody
matter.
But
you
know
Dawson,
may
not
be
what
a
particular
victim
needs.
You.
B
C
A
victim
may
need
counseling,
for
instance,
you
know
so
I
need
to
know.
Okay,
you
know
hope
harbor.
They
have
a
support
group
and
I
would
like
to
refer
this
person,
so
she
doesn't
want
legal
help.
Okay,
fine!
You
don't
need
our
help.
That's
okay!
I'm
not
just
going
to
close
the
door
on
you
I'm,
going
to
refer
you
to
someone
who
has
the
help
that
you
need,
or,
for
instance,
you
need
temporary
shelter,
I'm
going
to
refer
you
to
hope,
harbor
so
that
you
can
get
the
help
that
you
need.
C
You
see
them
saying
or,
for
instance,
another.
You
know
it
might
be
that
you
need
food
stamps.
You
know
what
they
call
SNAP
benefits.
Now
you
know
I'm
going
to
refer
you
to
defects,
and
you
know
let
you
know
as
a
victim
of
family
violence.
You
know
you
have
the
right
to
get
emergency
relief,
so
there
are
all
types
of
different
things.
There
are
a
lot
of
good
systems
in
place,
but
if
people
don't
know
about
it,
then
they
don't
get
the
help
they
need.
A
Now
this
is
again
Wednesday
march
eight
2017
12
to
130
p.m.
at
the
Columbus
Public
Library,
the
domestic
violence
roundtable
incorporated
the
organization,
that's
doing
and
I'll
be
doing
a
fatality
review.
It's
a
free
lunch
and
learning.
You
can
purchase
lunch,
but
it's
a
lot
of
great
information
and
we
just
want
the
community
to
come
out
and
be
involved,
absolutely
free.
We
definitely
want
to
you
there
and
you
are
you
tell
us
about
some
of
the
other
meetings
that
you
all
have
well.
C
C
You
can
contact
me
at
Georgia
legal
services,
our
telephone
number,
706,
6497
499,
and
you
can
just
ask
for
me
and
I
can
assist
you
because,
if
you're
not
able
to
come
to
that
membership
meeting,
you
may
want
to
participate
on
an
action
team,
and
so,
if
you're
not
able
to
make
that
meeting,
you
can
call
and
inquire
about
our
Action
Teams.
Like
I
said
we
do
have
this
fatality
review
action
team,
so
we
also
have
an
education
and
outreach
action
team
and
a
median,
a
public
relations
action
team.
C
B
C
A
C
A
Who's
you
people
that
I've
seen
day
in
day
out,
that
would
seem
normal,
but
you
never
know
what
somebody
is
dealing
with
behind
closed
doors,
so
it's
great
to
have
these
type
of
organizations
and
these
events
that
show
that
we
want
to
be
a
part
of
we
want
to
reduce
if
you
want
to
stop
to
do
wanna
cause
change.
So
thank
you.
Sally
thank.
