Probably one of the homeless people the state is putting up there.

WHS, just what i was thinking when reading it. They're getting free rent. Imagine the surprise when a guest there paying good money for a room sees all these residents.

thats me and actually no i was not homeless i relocated due to a job and paid with My money every week no food stamps no welfare and i get kicked out for the incident. while the homeless losers get to stay and mouch off the government. so get the facts straight before you want to insult someone twenty years our jr with twenty times the income

haley,thank god you are safe,there is so much domestic violence,i am happy you are safe,i don't care if your rich,or poor,whatever the situation,no man or woman,deserves to be beaten,did you ever watch a cry for help,that movie is very sad,again,thank god you are safe,

Abused women ....it has nothing to do with their income, education, background etc. NO woman deserves to be abuse. Typical man's opinion stated above. My sister, educated, good family, in college at the time, brutally stabbed 43 times, strangled, smothered, beaten, just because she called off their wedding. This was a tragedy back in Waltham in 1971. NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED>>>>> Where do men get the idea , when they get so insecure they have to hit, beat, and/or kill. They better convict this guy of attempted murder, or he'll be out and finish the job next time. Jane Cripps O'Reilly

Hayley. For such a smart women you don't seem to understand what denial is. Stop stripping. Go to Rehab. Respect yourself. Learn from your mistakes.

Hard work/ education etc.. dont help a bit Hayley if you don't have the judgement to choose the people around you. 3 years of college and you claim to have a high paying job. Yet you dont have a mature, established partner with a job and a future, a stable home or a social support network around you. Someones not telling the truth about something. Aside from the fact that the boyfriend is absolute slime and theres no excuse whatever to harm or threaten a woman if you dont do a self check and learn to be a bit more honest to yourself and others you'll keep attracting the same class of scumbag. Go home to your family if theyll take you - learn to appreciate them and youll learn how to spot a guy that appreciates you in your turn. Dont publicly humiliate yourself by blowing smoke up everyones heinie here.

Hayley, sorry, we don't allow swearing on Waltham Patch. However, here is Hayley's comment minus the swearing: Hi Richard thanks for your input, I made a mistake in choosing a partner and its all over the internet for you people to insult, I'm sure you've made a few mistakes as well however your spared the embarrassment. If I still was with this guy and wasn't pressing charges then I'd love to here about how stupid I am. As a psych major I can safely say by reading your comment that theres sometime of transference in it. Let me put that in words you can comprehend transference means in your case that your sitting at home on your computer insulting someone you don't even know. That shows insecurities which you bounce back upon other people to make yourself sublimnally feel better. Hope you learned a thing or two.

Hi Jane, no I don't work as a stripper...since you know so much about strippers you should know that I'm not in your place of work when your up there shaking your ass hollaring for your dollas. I actually work in Boston at a facility for troubled youth.

So children moral of the story is...get off your ass, do something with your life, stop insulting other people, and grow the ---- up and maybe next time you won't get schooled by a nineteen year old. Thanks yall and have a wonderful day. :)

Hayley, u are sitting on ur ass reading stories about yourself...most victims don't want to relive the situation, but it seems u are intrigued by it. It was 4AM u were both messed up, stop trying to defend yourself it's not fooling ANYONE & they aren't going to pity you...you should get ou of the relationship, but you are probably sitting reading this with him RIGHT NEXT TO U!!! Waste of time courts time & $$

I sure hope there are some more compassionate people in Waltham who are reading this stream of comments and will weigh in. It's been a long time since I've heard someone say it is a "waste of [the] courts time" to handle violent domestic attacks. What's going on, Waltham?

Karla, thanks for saying that. Amen.

The simple fact is that Hayley deserves our compassion. No one deserves that kind of experience. The simple fact is violence toward women, toward anyone, is not natural, nor is it right -- nearly killing some one is NEVER justifiable.

The last thing we should do is blame her, or condemn her.

I hope our community can see that the good news is she was removed from what was a dangerous, nearly fatal situation. She was protected. All I can say and think is, "Thank you, God." If it were me, all I would want is a sense of peace. I would also hope the community would be standing with me, grateful that I found safety.

Let's give Hayley our support! Let's show some good ol' humanity and give her a mental hug or high five, and let's hope that she finds a continued sense of peace.

All people deserve to be free from violence – no matter their gender, race, religion, socioeconomic status (As Jane O said). Using violence against another person is always the choice of the abusive person. No victim should be blamed for the violence they experience. Systems like the court and housing services are so necessary to help keep people safe. REACH Beyond Domestic Violence, a Waltham based agency, also has supportive services for survivors of domestic violence. http://www.reachma.org/what-we-do/about-domestic-violence. As a community, we also need to be supportive of one another, of our neighbors, because domestic violence is a community issue and affects us all.

Evryone needs more compassion...
."im a young business woman not a druggie lowlife homeless statistic"

perhaps, youre now a domestic violence statistic though
No one should be judging you, but you should not be judging others so quickly Many of us do not know first hand the struggles that our neighbors may have gone through, just as we dont know yours. Any of our lifes can be turned upside down at a moments notice; and we cannot predict how we would respond.
Most "druggie lowlifes" mean the world to someone else, and maybe some of your neighbors are women trying to escape their abusers and afford their children a better life

wow, it always amazes me how domestic violence cases/stories bring the ignorant out of the woodwork. nothing like blaming and judging the victim to make yourself feel better. that's right, nothing like that can ever happen to you or your children because you live an exemplary, perfect life. so perfect, in fact (richard and barb), that you feel it ok to judge, lecture, and reprimand someone.

your ignorant comments do not expose the person you're judging. they expose just how small minded, ignorant, judgmental, and frankly, angry, you are. what's worse than a perpetrator? ignorant bystanders. how pathetic for you.

Readed789 EXACTLY I AGREE I was trying to explain that in every comment I guess saying I was a college psych major was to subtle but your comment is ALL PSYCHOLOGY related. You just defined transference perfectly and in terms these "extremely smart adults" may actually understand, but not agree. Thank you for your support everyone, and to the rest of you who are decades older than me but may very well pass for a kindergarden class...lets find something better to do with our time than insult other to boost your own ego. Sound good?
