<DIV>Fred,</DIV>
<DIV>Just so you know, the military already has a system like that in place.&nbsp; The way it works is a soldier or family member is accused of neglect, child, or spousal abuse.&nbsp; That case is presented before a multi-disciplinary board (law enforcement, social worker, mental health, drug and alcohol, ect), where it is decided to substantiate or unsubstantiated the allegation.&nbsp; It is different than the judicial system but if a case is substantiated that soldier or family member is referred to social services for personal counseling, \]5rwe0-6][</DIV>
