Telling Amy’s Story | Full documentary

God bless those female coworkers for doing what they could to protect amy and seeing the signs of abuse.

Until the abusers alcoholic addiction is addressed the system and society do not protect the victim.....The combination enables the abuser ...Sad.....

Mariska is a fantastic actress. Lov svu. The stories r sad .

OMG 😞💔

I was traumatized for several years by an abusive husband. He would beat me like he would beat another man. I finally got away but his next victim didnt. He hid in her closet, jumped out when she and her new boyfriend came home. He shot and killed her.
This has always made me realize it could have been me.
Im sad for her family.

Instead of putting this all on women to fix, we need to make men responsible for their behavior and attitudes towards women. We need to examine society’s attitudes toward women and what we teach our kids about women and what is acceptable or not.

Reminds me of my ex.. when he start yelling or going on a rampage I will get up to go the bathroom to get away from him yet he would follow me. He broke the bathroom door, get 2 inches away from my face and ear and start screaming at me, I would take my hand and push him away, then he would tell me your hitting me and beat me up. When the cops show up he play victim and tell cops I assaulted him and he was defending himself. Jerk was 6 foot and I am 4'11...
Thankfully I was able to get away but it has hard. He constantly call me from different phone numbers and say how sorry he was blah blah blah. He's been gone almost 4 years now and at times I still struggle with trauma. I'm sad Amy couldn't get away sooner..

Where is the FULL documentory??? I never Saw it on this Channel. I am very confused right Now………

To any woman who wants to escape DV: If the time comes that youve had enough, DON'T ANNOUNCE IT TO YOUR PARTNER!! Make secret plans, and get the heck out with your kids! And don't ever go back to the house to get your kids' stuff - you can go to the store & get what you need, or get a support person to help!

PTSD.

I couldn’t imagine being with a man that has all the control of everything. I was in an abusive relationship and it was bad but to be with this dude oh hell no. Thank god her coworkers were there for support. Such a horrific case of control and abuse .

Evil prosper when good men do nothing. Many times the victim is too scared to stand up for herself and need someone to stand up for them.

So sad. Their has to be a other way its not working the things ars now

I had a boyfriend at 19 who was very controlling. I had to call all the time and at very specific time. I was always accused of cheating and was punished with complete emotional with drawl, hurtful words and threats of abandonment. He didnt let me go out w friends, called my friends sluts and bad examples. He ensured he was always with me. He made me miserable. I stood up for myself a lot bc he never hit me it was just arguments. Two yrs in he broke up with me. Why? He found a girl who “loved, appreciated and agreed w his ‘ideals’ better than I”. Thank goodness I could be w that fool right now. Complete insecure narcissist.

The question shouldn't be why doesn't she leave ? It should be what gives him the right to hurt her . Also why should she up root her kids and move them from their home that they are used too just because he wants to be an ass hole

I live in Alabama ( domestic violence capital of the world) I'm a survivor myself. I remember the fear and the anxiety I felt . It's debilitating.

I left my abuser 6 months ago
I'm very sad, alone & lonely
I keep remembering when he was good
I have to remind myself of what he did to me in the end
he's gone to post pictures of being with another woman on a cruise
leaving seems to be just as painful as staying
😔🥀💔

I want, for real, a restraining order on Carolyn Anne Pogwist, from NJ and that other family member also for real,. V.G. V.V.G.

Abusers never stop. It always - ALWAYS - escalates. I finally refused to live that way anymore, and damn near died getting away. I've been single and safe for 16+ years now. He scared me off of men forever. Please - leave immediately if he begins controlling your clothes, money, friends - even if he's never physically abused you (yet). Because I promise you it will only get worse. You are worth so much more than that.

Leaving is the most scariest time for a woman/man. Have a plan, don't let him/her know your plans. Ruuuun!

Why life in prison?
No tolerance on domestic abusers...
But we don't have the guts to do that.

This is so terrible.

Wow that was narrated so excellent the impact hit you right in the face i loved the way she told the story i felt for Amy. I was in a domestuc abuse relationship and it got to the stage of my death , my nose was broken i was kicked in the street while i laid on the floor he took a knife and said i had to die because he couldn't live without me and no one else can have me. I ran for my life luckily my sister was in the house she helped me escape by locking a door so i escaped through the window of my parents house. i It started with isolating me from my friends and family and the control was really bad at the time you don't even know it's happening until you look back. Abuse startd when i wanted to end the relationship after 7 years but then once that happened it never ended, he came and grabbed me down my parents stairs to take me back and he was always so sorry for what he did and he spent money on gifts, he came from a wealthy family entitled private school boy. Please continue with these it really was powerful. Thank you.

WHY are you telling us to report domestic violence when the police don’t do anything anyway??? Change the laws!! Reporting it does NOTHING and you know it

The husband is an insecure toddler with an obvious mental problem..why do girls put up with this? I never understood this

I was in a five year relationship with a narcissist and an abuser. He was so good at what he did and the lies he would tell that it took me four years to get out. Only by the grace of God am I alive and I always ALWAYS try to help any woman I see that may be in this situation. I know it when I see it now because I know what to look for in the abuser's actions and in the victim's eyes..

Well there should be done much more for those women to protect them and more to educate people what an abusive relationship looks like. If you are in it its not that easy to leave.

Domestic violence needs to be treated as assault. I often thought if he did these things to the neighbor the charges would be way different.

"if people actually knew the statistics and we all would be talking about it" ❤

so glad i had a diffrent end poor amy

Nobody deserves anything like that that’s a horrible thing to say why would somebody say she deserves it? No she doesn’t deserve that. She deserves to be happy and loved. She should’ve been able to go out with her family without him interfering if he was any kind of good Husband.

At this point not only is he touching her and being mean to her out of anger he is harassing her coworkers and interfering with her job

Why don’t you guys keep the firearms? This is dangerous

I feel really bad for her mom and dad

Ps..never trust an abuser with your children.

Can Law and Order come back in South Africa 🇿🇦...we still see reruns

This was similar to mine.For 6 years I sadly let evil destroy me.He was a well known business owner/hunter.Cops & lawyers hunted his land for free so they didnt protect me.I felt alone.He threatened me to drop the OP so he could keep his guns.There should be a law that a PO CANT be dropped by the victim until a year after it was issued! Because they threatened us.They prey on our weakness because they beat us down so bad! I was a strong educated woman before I found out the monster he was. Majored in Criminal Justice. NEVER forget your worth❤People only have the power over you that YOU allow & give them. YOU are the one in control.Dont forget that♡ He spit on me,ripped my hair out,punched me,head butted me in my face so hard I was in the hospital with a concussion,cheated on me lied to me. Held a gun to my head. He told me a piece of paper wont protect me.He was a drunk but was evil sober too.But worse when drunk.His cop buddys told me that if I press charges and want him arrested than they are going to arrest me too:( I felt so alone! Thank God this mostly happened at nigjt when my kids was asleep. I left him over 10 years ago and still to this day he will try to play on my emotions & talk to me. But Im out of the fog,stronger,wide awake, & love myself more! Id never go back to him & stand up against anyone that wrongs me. Ive been single for many years..happier than ever♡ prayers to her children ❤ and her family. Stronger laws need to be put in place to defend the scared,weak,& broken

Seeing this makes me think about my friend Cecilia. I always think about her. Her birthday just passed on Jan 15th. Her husband killed her and then killed himself. Initially, he was abusing her, eventually she got a divorce and got her own apartment for herself and her son, but of course he found her. I remember her coming into work with black eyes and bruises and I tried to help her cover them up so she didn’t feel embarrassed, and would talk to her about making an escape plan, but he would find ways for her to have to depend and call on him for help, he would slash her tires in the parking lot, and since her parents were so far away, she had no one to call but him so he could help her. It was bad. This selfish a-hole took her away from their son, and left him without a mother and father. Luckily her mother was able to take care of him, and he was able to celebrate her life every year. Her mother just passed away recently, so now she is with her mom. I wish someone would do a story on her. I always remember you Ceci! I know your mom is happy to be with you. Rest in peace

I know this is off topic, I am just surprised at Why wouldn’t the father get out of the car to go with her inside the house so he could help her?

WHITE PRIVILEDGE. WORKING AGAINST WHITE WOMEN.....AND THEY CANT EVEN SEE IT.....SMH.

She went back in house to get Diapers and gets shot in the head why go back in the house so soon this could have been prevented sorry 😢

A Restraining Order means nothing to a Narcissistic, controlling, bullying man. To them it's only a piece of paper.

I feel for Amy’s family!
I can’t see where most people would even begin to think of being able to find a safe place after or while being abused. Nope. You can call the police, they will take them to jail. They get out, they come back! If you leave, they find you, sometimes it can be over a year. Anyone can say get out! Yeah. Go ahead say get out! It’s not something that is easily done!

I married an abusive man twice. Why? Because I didn’t believe in divorce. Yep. I made up excuses as to where my bruises and cuts came from! Once the abuser learns that the justice system does nothing other than turn them back out!!

Nope. There are no consequences and no real help. Temporary help maybe. But they will find you!

NOPE. Womenbwho are involved in these kinds of toxic DV situations are some of the most selfish and stubborn and hard headed people on the planet.
Thess "victims" will use you as a forever unpaid therapist, its ALWAYS about them and their toxic relationship, they always need money, an emergency place to crash
(the abuser will show up at ur house bc victim will selfishly give it out )
Theyll expose their small vulnerable children to the violence and abuse with no guilt whatsoever.

So many police officers are dead bc of these DV addicted women and innocent bystanders and even children.

Theyre ADDICTED to these DV relationships just like a drug addict is addicted to drugs and theres nothing you can do to help.

They'll leave when theyre ready and clean up their lives when theyre ready.

We need men to be part of the efforts to stop the epidemic. So much focus is on the women to stop the dv by escaping, if they are able to in the first place. What about the boyfriends/husbands? What about addressing ideally stemming the "normalized" violence or at least decreasing violence from these males? The husband or bf who abuse, are our sons, brothers, grandsons, nephews, cousins and yet they are dehumanizing and objectifying our daughters, sisters, granddaughters, nieces and female cousins. The disconnect between the genders is worthy of examination. DV will just continue unabated unless the males enter the efforts to stop it in as safest way as possible.

Bull! No real help is there. Cops & judges don't care. I am proof. I have nightmares while I am awake. Sociopathic narcissists all gain all the sympathy.

No cops or judges ever helped me

People always blame the woman, even my family.

I went into this page i taugh it was all stories hosted by Mariska this is the only one i can see ?
