telephone contacts and refuses to permit her to leave her home at will, He controls
the behavior of the Plaintiff on a daily basis and is abusive and aggressive if the
Plaintiff cannot account for her time to his satisfaction.

Township Police because she feared for her safcty. The Defendant did not believe
that the Plaintiff had spent her lunch hour with a female friend as she had stated, He

on the children but are harmful to their emotional well-being,
