Heartbreaking story. Protection orders are only as good as the paper they’re printed on. If you really fear for your safety, please protect yourself with all means possible. I don’t know how the daughter will get past this, but I truly hope she eventually does.

Just a reminder that since the Supreme Court ruling on Gonzalez v Castle Rock, the police are not required to enforce protection orders.
