This is a national case result that should have made national headlines. Imagine, the first time a domestic violence survivor was acknowledged by a federal human rights comission as having her rights denied. Click here to see the video.
We can see from this video clip that domestic violence is not taken seriously by those who are trusted to protect women. This is the case of Lenahan v. USA. This illustrates how far, particularly domestic violence victims need to go just to get their basic rights. In my book, Who Killed Lana B?, you will see how often and to what lengths my daughter Lisa experienced this up to and including her brutal murder. In this case Lenahan's three children were killed by their father . She feels, as I do, that education at a very young age will be the springboard for change. That is why I was thrilled when one of my readers told me that Barnes and Noble had it categorized as a text book.

This story looks really interesting and could be a perfect story for a movie with a crime-suspense genre. I am not saying that Lenahan's story was meant to happen, but her case brought a lot of change about domestic violence. Somehow, it's been used as an instrument to implement a change not just in USA, but to the whole world as well. I hope there's a producer who will have the interest to make this a film!
