一名家暴幸存者曾被前伴侣拳打脚踢、持刀威胁,家门也被踹开。如今前伴侣出狱已数周,却仍未佩戴电子追踪器,她因此“生活在恐惧之中”。
Michelle, 38, who now lives in a static caravan(固定式房车) with her four children, said relatives were sleeping on her floor in case(以防,万一) the man tried to attack again. He had been recall(召回,撤回)ed to prison on several occasions(多次,数次) before for breach(违反,违背)ing his probation(缓刑,假释监督) conditions.
38岁的米歇尔现在带着四个孩子住在一辆固定式房车里。她说,亲戚们睡在她家的地板上,以防那名男子再次施暴。此前,他曾多次因违反缓刑条件而被召回监狱。
“The police and probation know that he is a threat to(对……的威胁) me and has breached the terms of his probation(他的缓刑条件) before. It is as if they are waiting for something really bad to happen to me or my children before they help(就好像他们非要等到我和孩子出了大事才肯帮忙。),” she said.
“警察和缓刑监督部门都知道他对我构成威胁,也知道他此前违反过缓刑规定。就好像他们非要等到我和孩子出了大事才肯帮忙,”她说。
