Children are greatly affected by domestic violence. Children are the silent victims. In fact, domestic violence and child abuse are related.<\/p>\n

Did you know\u2026
\n\u2022 \u201cUp to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually.\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201c80% to 90% of children living in homes where there is domestic violence are aware of the violence.\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201cOlder children are frequently assaulted when they intervene to defend or protect their mothers.\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201cUp to 60% of the men who frequently assaulted their wives also frequently abused their children.\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201cThe more severe the abuse of the mother, the worse the child abuse.\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201cBoys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are even more unimaginable facts and figures from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.<\/p>\n

Children\u00a0in violent homes\u00a0are in serious emotional and physical harm. Even if they haven\u2019t seen the violence first-hand, they can\u00a0\u201cfeel\u201d what is going on. Children from violent homes are more vulnerable to being abused themselves. A child\u2019s exposure to domestic violence is the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next. They often become perpetrators of violence or victims as adults. It\u2019s understandable\u00a0that children think that violence is \u201cnormal\u201d because they grew up with it.<\/p>\n

Children are a product of their own environment. Therefore the cycle of abuse continues. Children from violent homes are affected in all areas of their lives. They can have emotional, behavioral, and health problems. They can experience withdrawal, low self-esteem, nightmares, self-blame and aggression against others and property. They have difficulties in school, like lack of concentration, excessive absences, and poor performance. Plus, their home environment isn\u2019t conducive to studying. And they have difficulties in relationships. It\u2019s hard for them to trust others. They display overly aggressive or passive behavior. They have difficulty problem solving. They have poor anger management skills. These are just some examples that only touch the surface.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s simple and plain to see. If the cycle of abuse isn\u2019t stopped, it\u2019s passed down to the children and the abuse carries on and on. Children are being hurt by the millions! The cycle of abuse must be broken. The time is now.<\/p>\n
