I figured I'd wait before sharing my opinion. I agree with most of you - I think the ads should air, though I tend to lean toward daytime television. I think those of you who've stated that the abusers would never see themselves in this are correct - the target audience should be the abused. I don't know why, but the women I've known who have put up with this kind of shit don't see themselves as abused until they're finally ready to leave. They tend to think "It's normal" or "I deserve it". Maybe this would wake one or two of them up.

Pinkie - we do care. I've got a "special needs" daughter, and she is so precious to us I can't even begin to describe it. She gets (and gives) a bazillion hugs and kisses every day from her parents, her grandparents, her teachers - you name it. She is loved to bits, and she positively glows as a result. Having said that, I've never been able to understand how someone who has a perfectly "normal" healthy, happy kid could ever treat them as badly as so many parents do. If I trusted the government not to screw it up completley, I would be in favour of having to get a license or permit to have children. They're too precious to leave at the mercy of the sad excuses for humanity they often get saddled with.
