Life in Antigua was supposed to offer a fresh start for 25-year-old Crizzel Alexandra Mateo Javier.
She left the Dominican Republic with her young son just a year ago, hoping to create a safer and more stable future. But instead of security, she now finds herself living in constant fear—haunted by a brutal attack that nearly cost her life.

Crizelle Alexandra Mateo Javier in the aftermath of a brutal assault




Lord have mercy Jesus. What????????
What country are we willing in that a young vulnerable woman can’t get help. What message are we sending to those who migrate to our country seeking help
Waw! So sad. I hope get she get the help she needs
I’ve been there. This video is a reminder that domestic violence exists and police dont give a FRIGGING shit
That is not nice
How these young beautiful women end up with these kinds of men? So many women are being abused. They dont love the quiet well dressed men…they love those with tattoos and big chains who sell drugs. Im not rejoicing. Im just speaking factually
Sir, every pot has its cover. If a woman doesn’t want you that doesn’t mean who she wants is the big chain, tattooed hoodlum. And not every man that abuses a woman is a big chain, tattooed hoodlum either. Most of the psychotic ones are well dressed, quiet, educated monsters. A woman dating a man right now is like playing Russian roulette with her life. You don’t know which chamber the bullet is in until you pull the trigger. By then it may be too late.
Antigua news made sure they plaster their names on them pics . Hahaha. I saw what you guys did. Lol
Even if its sad to say antigua is not a place where can secure a person or help a person going thri domestic abuse …more times u go to the station and they laugh or make mockery of your situation ….then theres no safe house to place an indivisual whos going thru it …..i dont evwn know what else to say this is sad
You beat the woman infront of her son? You should die
Yeah this police system i
The fact that they didn’t show up at the hospital & she had to be the one to go and make a report the following day says a lot.
This is quite tragic. Sad reality in today’s world.
This is so sad my heart goes out to her and her son 😭 pray for for justice 🙏
What i want to know is how the woman seeing the police everywhere and nobody can see him
It’s always a struggle for those who are less fortunate. Trust me, if it were drugs, they would be all over it. Jah doesn’t sleep! That’s a tough situation. I hope you find justice.🙏🙏
I will eat grass before I beat a woman. Their bodies are made to be desired nor disfigured. Any man who hits a woman should suffer and instant death
Father God. This is heart breaking. I’m lost for words.
Like old people always say “Time longer than rope”
She just wants protection. As a member of the Hispanic community in very saddened by this. The stitches in that girls head is frightening
Boy this story is heartbreaking. You afraid everytime someone at your door. Torment alone can kill you
Another day, another violent attack, and yet the system drags its feet.
This is very disheartening for such a beautiful country and people
Wow….very sad. Good report though.
This is awful! If a lady says that she is not interested or No, is that grounds for any man to lay hands on her? It is by the grace of God that this lady survived, as blows to the head can be fatal Imagine lashing out when your Mum, a woman who birthed you is present.
The perpetrator needs anger management courses whilst in prison.
With the level of crimes against women, We need a woman’s refuge in Antigua to protect women, who are fleeing abuse from men.
He’s mad that she did not want to receive gifts? That’s a controlling and abusive man! If he’s demanding such a thing imagine what he would do to her. He could’ve ended her life right there!
To have stitches and still live in fear have to be one of the hardest things for you to do in today’s life! Ma’am it’s better you leave the community for them
I feel for this woman. The entire Hispanic community must come out and fight against such injustice. She is young. Who is that dog of a man anyway? And grays farm? Always grays farm
Her family need to rally around her. In that i mean her hispanic community
Seems to me the police need sensitivity training and reprimands!!! I can’t believe how callus they are in light of everything that has happened to this young lady. That’s attempted murder and yet they have not taken it seriously. It makes me wonder if these police officers are spousal abusers themselves. It’s a woman that birth you so do right by us please and thank you.
The police know what they want to deal with and what they dont. A Spanish woman man beats her they dont care. A key of cocaine found on the port oh let’s go quickly. The woman needs help. Go so you alls damn job and give her help
These young ladies chose men with no etiquette, trousers down and brief showing on the street.
Couldn’t expect anything better, and the young lady entice them by partly nude dressing that is sexually suggestive.
