Young couple goes on van tour of US, boy comes back with van - no girl
I don't think the answer to domestic abuse rests in the penal code. The penal code only works after a crime has been committed. We don't have "precrime". The answer rests with awareness and education of our young women to not enter into relationships with controlling partners. Gabby had resources which means Gabby had power! She just didn't know it.
ETA: Gabby as well as her parents had not yet even realized she was IN an abusive relationship.
