It's really a tough deal.  Maybe someone with a legal background can weigh in on the options to toughen it up.    

I know most of my charitable donations/time go to a women's home for DV survivors.    It's amazing what these victims go through.

I totally agree with this.  As well DV is where my wife and I place the majority of our time and donations.  Every cell phone I have ever had has ended up at a shelter for abused women.  I get my kids involved by shopping for toys and clothing for children that are at the shelters as well.
