Looks cool, good luck!

Fair point.

Jeez, yeah, Wally-World would be a great place to look. Gonna approach that topic a little slowly, the solution is pretty drastic. Hopefully the court system will work out and the abuser will end up in prison for a good while. At least enough time to figure out the next move.

Apparently our state has a program for secret mailing addresses. From what I gather, victim advocates can set up a mailing address at a state govt building and from there it'll get forwarded on. I think the plan is to use that for official documents for the foreseeable future.

Excellent link, watching now. Thanks!

Awesome link, thanks. Good all around useful info!

There is a restraining order, active court cases, bail, all that stuff. The victim is packed up and moving out of their shared apartment today to a neutral location. I guess what I meant by that is that we are in a rural area. Police response time to a 911 call is regularly 45+ minutes. A violent spouse can do a lot of things in 45 minutes. Best to avoid that entirely.

I'm reasonably sure that the victim's physical security will be assured as of this evening. I'm looking forward, trying to think ahead of any ways (technical or not) that the abuser could use to find their new location.

The children are very young, under 3yo. I don't think they have much of an online presence but I will be sure to inquire and do some op-sec on those accounts if needed.

From what I gather, all relatives are on board with the victim leaving. Point taken, though.

The victim packed up their apartment and left today with a U-Haul and is en route to a neutral location that the abuser doesn't know of. Only the victim's parents (and me) know where they are.

Everyone I talk to says the same thing- people are the weakest link. There's something to that for sure.
