On January 25, 2013, an Akron, Ohio woman seeking a protection order against her former boyfriend was left alone with the man, who then attacked her in the Domestic Relations courtroom. It was captured on a security camera. It happened after a Magistrate left the room who was hearing the case to see if the person she was trying to obtain a protection order from (who was in the room too) had any warrants for his arrest. Do you think the courts policies and procedures should be changed?

Have you heard of anything happening like this where a person was trying to obtain a protection order is attacked by the person during the hearing?
