For Anna Lynn Hurd, her family and friends, there were plenty of warning signs that went unnoticed unfortunately as many brushed off teenage volatility on the part of her boyfriend, as just regular teenage angst. While plenty admit to witnessing his jealous outbursts, few took them seriously and worse, some would unknowingly fuel the fire that ended up costing Anna Lynn Hurd her life.

In many cases of intimate partner violence, those closest to the victim are futile in their efforts to warn the victim. Instead, gradually, the abuser becomes successful in their attempts at controlling them,by isolating and mentally brainwashing the person they say they love the most. In Anna Lynn Hurd’s case, her boyfriend’s attempts to control her are disguised by his pleas to spend every waking second with her. In some cases, Anna cannot even go to the bathroom by herself because of her boyfriend’s irrational fear that she is texting someone else. Sound familiar?

Unfortunately, too many teens recount similar stories of control and while so many would quickly kick this young man to the curb, what would compel someone to stick around for this kind of abuse? Are there certain character traits, socio-economic, demographic, or other indicators that would make some young girls more prone than others to becoming a victim of Intimate Partner Violence? Is there anything any of us really CAN do to get through to friends or family members who seem hell-bent on continuing relationships with potentially lethal partners?
