Domestic Violence affects children
|
 |
Every child is different some may show the following signs:
- Feeling guilty and holding themselves responsible
- Difficulty in trusting anyone
- Bedwetting, stomach aches, headaches
- Sleep disturbance, nightmares
- Regression in personal development – thumb sucking
- Aggression – out of control
- Withdrawn.
- Neglect
- Fear and loss of Confidence
The abuser will try and convince you that if you report any
incidents the children will be taken away from you. Social
Services and other agencies have a responsibility and duty to
ensure that all children are safe and will support you in
protecting your children.
Involve your child’s school and making them aware of the
situation. They have your child’s interests as their
concerns, and may be a place of safety at difficult times.
