| Hopefully, there are no children involved. And you guys are right - a TRO does nothing - even a permanent RO does nothing. It's simply an entry in the court to make it easier to prosecute if something goes wrong....as in this case. The police still have to show up. And in the time it takes them to show up, something awful usually happens.
Sometimes, abused people don't feel safe anywhere, but feel safer at work because they feel that there's some degree of separation and more giants to slay before they can be attacked. It's just sad these things still happen. Hopefully everything will work out for her, but it'll be a long row to hoe.
