Recently a San Diego 29 year old mother became a statistic after she sought protection from the court against her husband. She was granted her request by the court on a Friday and the following day, the husband shot and killed the family including himself. What good did that order do?

Prior to getting the restraining order, this mother had been subjected to much extreme harassment after she filed for a divorce which made her to seek the court help. He often showed up unannounced, stalked her, and repeatedly texted her.

Two weeks prior to her death, he text her a picture of a gun with liquor bottles in the background. Another big red flag, he was out of control…
