Beaman Home A Haven For Battered Women

Editor's Note: This is the third in a six-part series on domestic violence. You'd never know by looking at it that this ordinary house in a residential Warsaw neighborhood is really a haven for the women who find shelter here. The inside of the house - with its toys, books, bunk beds in the bedrooms - looks just as comfortable as the outside, as though any ordinary family could live here. Only the security cameras placed at strategic locations, the television monitors and other security devices hint that this is not a typical family home. In fact, this is not just any house - this house has meant the difference between life and death for hundreds of women.This is the Beaman Home, Kosciusko County's only shelter for battered women.
