What is the key to preventing domestic violence?
Prevention is key to addressing domestic violence, which begins with taking it seriously when someone shows signs of needing support. The speaker emphasizes that issues escalate when people suffer alone in isolation, making community support crucial. When individuals experience emotional pain during breakups, custody battles, or difficult situations, having proper support systems can prevent dangerous escalation. Additionally, addressing mental health issues and anger management problems is essential. Society currently lacks sufficient preventive measures to help people understand the root causes of domestic violence and provide adequate support for survivors.

Justice looks different to different people and is subjective. In this tragic case, no form of justice can bring the 3-year-old child back to his mother and loved ones. However, addressing the perpetrator's mental health issues in a mental health institution, where she can receive proper treatment, represents a form of justice that also protects society. This approach prevents similar incidents from happening again while acknowledging that her mental state, which caused her to act violently, must be properly addressed one way or another.
