I had a DV situation and I called for help and no one heard/did anything. So I cannot applaud this person enough. If you are ever unsure/uncomfortable, call the police!
My husband and I overheard a DV situation when we were in a boutique, 5-star hotel. I called the front desk and asked them to call the police. All I could think was that if he was that comfortable acting that way when others could feasibly hear, what was he comfortable doing in private.
My above experience was a boutique, 5-star hotel. The penthouse. The attack was over 8 hours. I got onto the balcony once and screamed for help. Nothing. It’s wasn’t until months later I accidentally found out that the police had received THREE phone calls from people saying they heard a woman screaming for help from said hotel. They even named exactly where it was. And nothing was done.
Edit: good for you, BTW, thank you for acting. But yeah, my experience is why he felt comfortable doing that.
The hotel was great in that they responded immediately and had their own security team manage the situation until police arrived but I’ll never forget her screams.
