Domestic Violence and Children
Domestic Violence – Effects on Children
Statistics presented by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence have shown that in the year 2006, 3,888 children were involved in and 20,857 were present during a domestic violence offense. I cannot stress enough that even if you think your children have not witnessed the violence or they are too young to understand what is going on, they can. Children are extremely perceptive even at a very young age and can sense when violence is occurring.
More importantly, the statistic above is particularly insightful because studies have shown that boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their partners in the future. Legal professionals can help you to protect yourself and your children from continued domestic violence. Please contact us today with any questions.
