Oprah to tackle subject of dating violence

Talk show magnate Oprah Winfrey plans to cover the topic of dating violence on her show this Thursday, according to the Sun-Times. Winfrey said she was saddened at the news of the alleged beating by Chris Brown of girlfriend popstar Rihanna and will dedicate the show to 'all the Rihannas of the world.'

Naperville City Desk applauds Winfrey for tackling this subject, especially in light of this article from the Chicago Tribune that many teens have said they blame Rihanna for provoking Brown and that violence in dating is 'normal.' NCD sincerely hopes Oprah's message is heard loud and clear by these young people and young men learn another way to deal with their anger.
