Twitter and Facebook use fuelling domestic violence, Welsh cops warn - Wales News - News - WalesOnline: "Social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook are increasingly fuelling domestic violence, according to frontline Welsh police officers who have to deal with the ugly fall-out.
In a new warts-and-all three part documentary series following police in the Swansea Bay area, beat officers say “domestics” are complicated by the instant nature of internet communication or texts.
Pc Gavin Williams, based at Pontardawe in the Swansea Valley, said people no longer had to pluck up the courage to confront somebody if they were angry or hurt.
He said: “In the past you would have to go up and say something to someone.
“But now all you have to do is send a text message.
“But it also helps us in a way because it’s all recorded.”
He added: “I’ve been to a couple of horrific domestic incidents, even a couple of stabbings.
“I think the worst ones are when they argue in front of the children. That’s really sad.”"
