Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 936

Tonight's special guest is Kathy Haley from Florida, a gunshot victim and survivor of domestic violence who has become a victim's advocate for DV and those with disabilities. "I am a survivor of domestic violence and am in a wheelchair because I was shot 4 times by my husband in 1992," Kathy shares. "Since that time I have been very outspoken concerning domestic and dating violence. My story is currently running on Discovery ID on stalking." It seems Kathy Haley's estranged husband Dave didn't seem to want to take "no" for an answer, and that included the court order she had against him. Nothing could keep him away. "I was shot 4 times by my [estranged] husband and have been in a wheelchair ever since. One of the bullets hit my right elbow, another struck my upper back. One went in my lower back, and then one in my abdomen. Then he shot himself in the head with his .38 caliber handgun." She goes on, "I speak about what it takes to overcome being a victim and maintain a positive outlook." Kathy offers her experience, strength and hope to anyone who needs it. "I have a very powerful story to tell and I'll do so, passionately, around the country. I am always willing to speak to any groups that would like to hear a tragic situation [delivered] with a bit of humor. It will certainly grab the audience's attention. Please contact me by email if you would like more information." (kathywom@aol.com)
