UPDATE: A courageous domestic violence survivor, Kelly North, has emerged as the first to publicly expose how Western Australia’s flawed GPS tracking laws have endangered lives. In a shocking account, North reveals the harrowing details of her experience with an alleged abuser who left her “half-dead” after brutal assaults.
In a compelling statement, North recounted the relentless fear she faced while living in a regional town, constantly moving between short-stay accommodations to escape an alleged attacker who threatened her life. “He said he would burn the evidence off,” she explained, detailing how her abuser escalated violence to alarming levels, even turning on hot water in an attempt to destroy any incriminating evidence.
North described a near-fatal incident where she was choked unconscious. “I had to lay there and take it,” she recalled. “When he was strangling me, I couldn’t move because I was sitting down.” Tragically, she added, “It was just unfortunate that I came to, and there were some days I wish I didn’t.”
After enduring severe physical and emotional trauma, North finally escaped her partner. She sought refuge at a friend’s house and later went to the emergency department, where she received a discharge summary that was over 120 pages long. North made a statement to the police, prompting the arrest and charge of her alleged attacker.
This urgent revelation raises critical questions about the effectiveness of GPS monitoring laws intended to protect victims. Advocates are now calling for immediate reforms to prevent further tragedies. The emotional weight of North’s story has sparked outrage and discussions across social media platforms, amplifying calls for change.
As the situation develops, this tragic account underscores the pressing need for comprehensive measures to safeguard those vulnerable to domestic violence. Authorities are urged to evaluate the current GPS monitoring systems and ensure they provide real protection rather than false security.
Stay tuned as this story unfolds, and share North’s powerful message to advocate for justice and reform in domestic violence laws.
