BREAKING THE CHAIN

FAMILY VIOLENCE MOTHERFATHER SISTERBROTHER CHILD

FACTS  WHY IT MATTERS  Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior perpetrated by an intimate partner against another. It is an epidemic affecting individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, nationality or educational background. Violence against women is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior, and thus is part of a systematic pattern of dominance and control. Domestic violence results in physical injury, psychological trauma, and sometimes death. The consequences of domestic violence can cross generations and truly last a lifetime.

Children WHO are WITNESSES  Witnessing violence between one’s parents or caretakers is the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next  Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults

SIGNS OF ABUSE  Consider the possibility of physical abuse when the child:  · Has unexplained burns, bites, bruises, broken bones, or black eyes;  · Has fading bruises or other marks noticeable after an absence from school;  · Seems frightened of the parents and protests or cries when it is time to go home from  school;  · Shrinks at the approach of adults; or  · Reports injury by a parent or another adult caregiver.  Consider the possibility of physical abuse when the parent or other adult caregiver:  · Offers conflicting, unconvincing, or no explanation for the child's injury;  · Describes the child as "evil," or in some other very negative way;  · Uses harsh physical discipline with the child; or  · Has a history of abuse as a child.

Signs of NEGLECT  · Is frequently absent from school;  · Begs or steals food or money from classmates;  · Lacks needed medical or dental care, immunizations, or glasses;  · Is consistently dirty and has severe body odor;  · Lacks sufficient clothing for the weather;  · Abuses alcohol or other drugs; or  · States there is no one at home to provide care.  Consider the possibility of neglect when the parent or other adult caregiver:  · Appears to be indifferent to the child;  · Seems apathetic or depressed;  · Behaves irrationally or in a bizarre manner; or  · Is abusing alcohol or other drugs.

WHAT can we do about it??  Anything you do to support kids and parents can help reduce the stress that often leads to abuse and neglect  Be a friend to a parent you know  Be a friend to a child you know  Talk to your neighbors about looking out for one another's children  Volunteer your time and money for programs in your community that support children and families, like parent support groups or day care centers
