Getting Help if Things go wrong

Posted by Unknown ~ Wednesday, 5 March 2014




Many people are ashamed to speak out or ask for help if a partner is hurting them. They may think that no one will take the abuse seriously because it is happening in a relationship.
All abuse is wrong and completely unacceptable! Some forms of abuse that happen in a relationship may also be offenses under the Criminal Code. A few examples include:

  • Assaults - of all forms including attempts and threats to assault
  • Sexual assaults - of all forms including attempts and threats to assault [Remember, no one has the right to force another person to have sex – not even a spouse, partner or somebody you are dating.]
  • Uttering threats
  • Criminal harassment; i.e., stalking
  • Intimidation
  • Breach of a court order such as an undertaking, a peace bond, a probation order or other court orders.

The police can arrest and charge a person who does any of these things.
