Background Check Anyone?

More often than not when I turn on my local and/or national news it seems like everyday there is another report of violence amongst boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives and every other term used for significant others.  I am just plain sick of the irresponsibility of my fellow Americans when it comes to researching who we are spending our time with and living with in our private lives.  With 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experiencing domestic violence at some point in their lives, don't we owe it to ourselves not to become a statistics; especially when there are children involved?

Let's examine the case that made national headlines involving a Canadian man, Ryan Alexander Jenkins, that brutally murdered his ex-wife, Jasmine Fiore: 

Fiore's body was discovered, but not identified, on Saturday, August 15, 2009 at about 7 a.m.  Her badly beaten and crushed body was discovered inside a suitcase inside a dumpster in an alley in Buena Park, California.  According to Buena Park police, Fiore's teeth and fingers had been removed before her nude body was stuffed into the suitcase. She had also been strangled. Authorities believe the mutilation was an attempt to impede identification. On August 18, 2009 her remains were identified  using the serial numbers from her breast implants.  The Orange County coroner’s office reported Fiore had died a couple of hours before her body was found.

Jenkins had a violent criminal past!  In 2005, he assaulted a woman and was convicted for the attack in 2007.  The incident took place on Jenkins’ home turf in Calgary, Canada and the woman, Faern Jewell, was his girlfriend at the time.  As punishment, Jenkins was sentenced to mandatory counseling and 15-months probation.  Jenkins was ordered to attend outpatient treatment for sex addiction.

This case is a prime example of why we should all know more than we do about who we choose to allow into our lives intimately (boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses, etc).  This is not just a male or femail issuye...it affects EVERYONE!  After all, I presume that Jasmine Fiore would have paid a lot more than $125 for a Background Check on Jenkins now.
