I was recently in a bad relationship which included being beaten up. After i was attacked i was told that my now ex has a very violent past and been in and out of prison. Even now hes on an assult charge which goes to court soon! I wish a law could be instated where people have the right to check out there partners criminal past even just to alert them to any viloence! Getting beaten up a few times is nothing compared to what some women(and men) go through but its made me think that if id known the truth i might of been able to walk away umaharmed! Mayb a few more stories would end up diffrently is checks were availble!!
