Common Misconceptions About Restraining Orders
Many people hold misconceptions about restraining orders, which can lead to confusion and hesitation in seeking help. One common myth is that restraining orders guarantee complete safety; however, while they are a legal tool for protection, they do not eliminate the risk of harm entirely.
Another misconception is that restraining orders are only for victims of physical violence. In reality, they can be sought by anyone experiencing harassment or threats, regardless of the nature of the abuse. Educating clients about these misconceptions is a key part of TRU Investigations' approach, empowering them to take proactive steps towards their safety.
