Family Violence is a nationwide epidemic. In 1999, 826,000 children were physically and sexually abused in America. Nearly 4 million women are seriously assaulted by their partner each year. Domestic and sexual abuse are topics most people would rather not talk about and pretend they don’t exist. When we raise awareness of these problems, the signs and patterns of abuse will become easily recognizable to teachers, relatives and everyone that touches a child’s life. This will allow law enforcement, social services, and faith-based organizations to intervene before a life is lost or a child is permanently scarred.
