Link Between Domestic Violence and Child Abuse
Awareness of the correlation between domestic violence and child abuse has grown because of recent high-profile cases in the media. This attention highlights the effects domestic violence can have on families and children.
According to the Virginia Department of Social Services, as many as 3 million children witness domestic violence each year nationwide. In families where domestic violence occurs, child abuse is 15 times more likely to occur.
Caretakers often believe they are protecting their children from witnessing abuse within the home, however 80%-90% of children in homes where domestic violence occurs, can provide detailed accounts of the violence.
