Hi,
I heard something rather strange today (although probably not strange in CA), and I'm trying to see if that's true or not. A friend of mine said that he saw an LAPD training memo on domestic violence, and it says that if a child displays bruises or any other signs of abuse, the officer is supposed to ask the mother of the child as to what happened, as a mother is very unlikely to hurt her child (as opposed to a father), and so she'd be a more trustworthy source.
A quick check with a buddy of mine who works for LASD, and their memo is much more detailed than this purported LAPD memo, and it talks about checking for previous history, if there're restraining orders in place, talking to the children first, talking to both parents, etc., which made sense.
Can anyone working for or familiar with LAPD shed some light on this? It sounds like FUD, and I hope that it is.
Thanks,
nick
