Review the following Case: Peggy’s Story Peggy has lived in her current home with her husband Ross for about 20 years. She looks 70-odd, with sparkly eyes and a welcoming smile. Peggy is well known in the local community and gets on well with her neighbors. The house now looks like it could do with a paint job. Lawns are okay, could do with mowing but are not overly long. There has been a flower garden at some point but the roses now poke up through a bed of weeds. One of their windows is broken and has cardboard taped over it. One evening, Peggy’s neighbors hear lots of shouting and banging next door. Peggy’s son Karl has moved back home recently. The neighbors don’t think much of him, and are worried he is causing trouble for his parents. When they hear the noise, they assume the worst and call the Police. When Police knock on the door, they are warmly greeted by Peggy. When the Police explain the reason for their visit Peggy exclaims; “Oh. Oh dear. Oh Officers, you are so kind. This is a bit embarrassing. It’s my husband. He’s got a bit doddery, fell over the side table and started shouting at me because he forgot it was there and just needed to feel better about himself. It’s okay. He’s calmed down now he’s had a drink of water. It’s not his fault, he doesn’t really mean it”. She invites the Police in to talk with him. While Police are investigating the situation, the front door opens and a male voice shouts “You better have my tea ready like I said you old cow”. Peggy is transformed. She cowers… “That’s my son Karl,” she says and rushes to the kitchen. Karl is about 6 feet tall, thickly built, in his mid 30s. He glares at the Police: “What’s happened? The old man slapped her around a bit again? Don’t worry, she’s used to it.” He has obviously been drinking. Discuss this case. Remember to discuss all aspects of the possibilities that you see.
Also write about which abuse is happening and how .
