What's up with Domestic Violence?

It seems like every time you turn on the television a famous celebrity or someone you may know closely has resorted to domestic violence. It's almost like a trend because it is so common today. Just a year or so ago the singer Chris Brown had to do many hours of community service because he beat up on his girlfriend at the time, Rihanna, who is also a singer.

Now another celebrity has fallen to this horrible lifestyle. I was watching the news last week sometime, and my dad brought it to my attention that the singer Mario was charged with second degree assault, and was released on $50,000 bond. His mother, who was known to have been a heroin addict said that her son shoved her around in her Baltimore apartment. It is so sad to see these celebrities do this because after the Chris Brown incident it turned a lot of his fans away from him, and Mario may be the same. When I first heard the story I was in shock because I could not believe that Mario would hit his own mother. This goes to show that it does not matter how close you are to someone, anyone can become a victim of an assault or domestic violence.
