A 22-year-old woman was publicly shamed by her boyfriend (Mail Online)
A New York man has been charged with choking, endangering the welfare of a child, coercion and assault, stemming from a video that he recorded of him forcing his girlfriend to walk outside in just a bath towel in Harlem for allegedly talking to other men. The incident surfaced after Jasson Melo subjected his 22-year-old girlfriend to this “shame” walk in retaliation for alleged infidelity, which he recorded and then posted to his social media account.
According to the victim, Melo beat and choked her before forcing her to walk outside in just a towel while he verbally abused her. It has been reported that their three-month-old child was home when the incident occurred. Melo also allegedly threatened to kill her if she did not walk outside naked as a form of punishment for her alleged actions.
Sadly, domestic violence is a widespread problem for Latinas. Casa de Esperanza: National Latin@ Network, a U.S. non-profit organization, revealed in a 2015 study that “more than half of the Latin@s (56 percent) in the U.S. know a victim of domestic violence.” Further, it is estimated that “one in three Latinas have experienced domestic violence.” While it is difficult to estimate the frequency of intimate partner violence due to stigma related to disclosing the violence and fear of being ostracized for reporting the violence, a 2008 Centers for Disease Control study estimates that “one in four women is abused by a current or former spouse, partner or boyfriend at some point in her life.”
Melo is facing the consequences for his actions. He was arraigned Thursday night on charges of choking, endangering the welfare of a child, coercion and assault. The First Lady of New York issued a statement in support of the victim and other individuals who suffer from intimate partner violence and other forms of violence. She said: “The video displayed verbal abuse, forced humiliation, and harassment by the alleged offender, directed at his wife. Posting that video online perpetuated the abuse, which New York City does not tolerate. We are steadfast in our efforts to make sure all victims of abuse are aware of the many resources available as we strive to make New York City’s public and private spaces safe for all women and girls.”
The 22-year-old victim spoke with Nayeli Chavez-Geller of Primer Impacto, asking: “What woman would like to go out on the street naked and he’s recording her, insulting her?”
While there have been individuals who have commented on his social media account in support of his repulsive action, Melo has rightfully caught ire from individuals who were appalled by his abusive behavior, including the subsequent disgusting social media posts where he appears to proudly boast of his actions.
If you or anyone you know is a victim of violence, help is available. Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for information and resources.

The Talmud must not be regarded http://utamadomino.com as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; http://utamadomino.com/app/img/peraturan.html it posies absolutely no similarity http://utamadomino.com/app/img/jadwal.html to http://utamadomino.com/app/img/promo.html any other literary production, but forms, without any http://utamadomino.com/app/img/panduan.html figure of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that http://utamadomino.com/ is frivolous of which it treats with http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html great gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html which presume the efficacy of http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of uncharitable “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html judgments and decrees http://dokterpoker.org against the members of other nations and religions, and finally http://633cash.com/Games it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.http://633cash.com/Games
The Babylonian http://633cash.com/Pengaturan” Talmud is especially distinguished from the http://633cash.com/Daftar Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud by http://633cash.com/Promo the flights of thought, the penetration of http://633cash.com/Deposit mind, the flashes of genius, which rise and vanish again. It was for http://633cash.com/Withdraw this reason that the Babylonian rather http://633cash.com/Berita than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish http://633cash.com/Girl Race, its life breath, http://633cash.com/Livescore its very soul, nature and mankind, http://yakuza4d.com/ powers and events, were for the Jewish http://yakuza4d.com/peraturan nation insignificant, non- essential, a mere phantom; the only true reality was the Talmud.” (Professor H.

And finally it came Spain’s turn. http://yakuza4d.com/home Persecution had occurred there on “http://yakuza4d.com/daftar and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides. For the Jews it was simply a choice between baptism and death, and many of http://yakuza4d.com/cara_main them submitted http://yakuza4d.com/hasil to baptism.
But almost always conversion on thee terms http://yakuza4d.com/buku_mimpi was only outward and http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/peraturan.html false.
