“YouTuber Matthew Santoro uploaded an emotional video detailing his alleged experience with domestic violence to an outpouring of support from the YouTube community.
Santoro, an educational video creator who won Best Breakout Creator at the 2015 Streamy Awards, said he was in the relationship for “almost a year of my life” and broke up with the woman in question only a few weeks before originally uploading the video (privately) on Sept. 12, 2015. On Jan. 10, 2016, Santoro accidentally made the video public—and ultimately decided to keep it that way. In the 14-minute clip, Santoro discusses the details of an abusive relationship that he says escalated from controlling behavior and jealousy to physical attacks.”

Thank you for showing that men are also victims of domestic abuse. It is an issue important to men, women and families that is so often ignored by the media.
May I suggest you enhance your reporting by addressing the severe lack of resources available to men who are victims of abuse, as well as the difficulty for men to be heard and believed by authorities when it comes to their suffering.
More needs to be done by the media to honestly and objectively address the problem of misandry in our society and institutions.
