What a tragedy in Paradise Hills tells us about domestic violence | Lyndsay Winkley
In the months before her death, Sabrina Rosario’s estranged husband would show up at her house unannounced. He would sit in the car and watch their children play from a distance. In text messages, he said he would never leave her alone. Less than two weeks ago, he messaged her a picture of a handgun. More than half a dozen cans of beer and a bottle of alcohol were in the background of the image. “This threat really scared me and I can no longer handle his abuse and harassment,” Rosario said in court filings seeking a restraining order against Jose Valdivia, whom she was in the process of divorcing. Rosario had threatened to file a restraining order before. She wrote in court documents that her husband had told her, “A restraining order is not going to do nothing.”
