SOUTHAMPTON, NY More than two decades have passed since Nicole Behrens stood on her front lawn in Southampton, her then-three-year-old clutched in her arms, shaking violently as her husband stood on the front steps, a shotgun in his hands not knowing if the moment would be her last.
More than 20 years, and when she tells the story, the images she evokes are as vivid as if it was only yesterday that she was living in terror with a man who, she said, wore away at her spirit with bursts of explosive anger, fury that could come at any moment, for any reason.

CENTER MORICHES, NY Sunday marks one year since Thomas Valva, 8, froze to death on the floor of the garage in the Center Moriches home of his father, a now-former NYPD officer, and his father s fiance.
Sunday dawned cold and windy, the cold a biting, bone-chilling reminder of the 19-degree night when Thomas died.
On Sunday, many turned to social media to remind that Justice for Thomas, a rallying cry at myriad rallies after the child s death, has not yet been served.
