Amid Increasing Domestic Violence, Illinois Struggles to Review Fatalities
—
Four years after the state called for a network of domestic violence review panels, only seven counties have joined committees. Glaringly absent from the program: Cook County, home to Chicago and about 40% of the state’s population.

我剛剛看到一個說一個日本男人因為生氣妻子專注於照料孩子而疏忽了他，因此超過20年沒有和妻子說過一句話的圖片（直到子女找到電視台，然後和妻子溝通，由妻子發出請求去最初約會的公園談談，才撬開了這尊佛的金口）。看起來不像是假消息，於是我搜了早期的視頻。
這是2013年4月5日一個叫做探偵ナイトスクープ 的電視節目的內容，原來的標題叫：23年間も会話がなかった夫婦が 。
我看到圖片的第一反應是：天啊這是世界上最恐怖的冷暴力！ 而這個妻子居然這23年裡依然和他住在一起，沒有想過離婚？！而且在這期間他們生下了第三個孩子！！！（她是怎麼接受這個冷酷的男人的性需求的？！）
當視頻裡面，這個妻子哭出來的那一瞬間，我覺得她真的好可憐，好可憐。而日本媒體都是報導「好感動」。我簡直想要大罵這男的怎麼不去死啊！（我很不想說媽寶，因為媽寶裡面的「媽」也是被社會塑造的）。
