In honor of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Someplace Safe’s Otter Tail County programs held their 24th Annual Walk & Vigil on October 6, 2011, in Fergus Falls.

Following is a powerful quote shared by Charles Kitzman, Probation Director for Otter Tail County, at the event. We would like to share it here with you.

“We must teach our young women to distinguish between:

A man who flatters her, and a man who compliments her.

A man who spends money on her, and a man who invests in her.

A man who views her as property, and a man who views her properly.

A man who lusts after her, and a man who loves her.

A man who believes he is God’s gift to women, and a man who remembers a woman was God’s gift to man.

And then, we need to teach our boys to be that kind of man.”
