As the inquest continues into the death of Hannah Clarke and her three children at the hands of her estranged husband, grim details about a string of abuses that occurred in the lead-up to their violent murders are coming to light.

At the same time, in a very different part of the world, people are watching on as Kim Kardashian continues to face harassment from her ex-husband Kanye West, but despite all her wealth and power it seems no-one is willing to intervene.

The Quicky speaks to a family violence prevention specialist, and a family law expert to find out what measures we can all take when we witness concerning and escalating behaviour, in the hope that we can stop violent acts occurring and get people the help they need.
