Mona had stated that “The undercover operation was my first, and I was nervous as hell.”, she was nervous because it is so dangerous, she could get hurt or worse, killed.

Her first training officer, the commander, said “women should not be police officers”. That was not very helpful to someone who is struggling.]]> 2022-10-28 17:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/3803493/mk15d4hveyob825p/wish/2360927788 3803493 https://padlet.com/3803493/mk15d4hveyob825p/wish/2360934010 When the police officers refuse to help Mona because she is married to her abuser it is considered “a private matter between husband and wife”.Mona says in the book that “It was the first time a cop had taken my side, the first time officer had stepped in and told frank straight out that he would get in trouble if he hurt or harassed me.”, this shows how the cops before didn't care about mona at all. Pg 246

Mona is mentally and physically abused by frank. She had said “I approached him gingerly, not wanting to get another beating. Bruises already lined my arms from a tussle with him a few nights earlier.”. She was struggling yet no one helped her because it was considered a privet matter between husband and wife.
