it is her job to do something if she writes here that she is upset and bothered by it. no where did I say jump right into the middle of the incident and break it up. by all means be smart and be safe. when she is alone is a time to approach if possible.

I feel also that is you see a situation that you feel is dangerous and volatile then by all means rather then sitting and watching it escalate and later after perhaps there is great injury or death saying "gee I wish I could have done something" you did.

if you saw someone harming a child would you watch, or act? pray it got better? here's a tidbit...it doesn't. take it from an ex cop. I did not say for them to physically intervene in the middle of the episode, I said when the wife was alone and safe, or to contact local pd or campground staff.

and yes as a federal law enforcement officer for over 18 years I am very aware of the dangers presented by domestic abuse calls. been there, many many times. but thank you for that information.
