Domestic Violence Domestic Violence Domestic Violence is a major concern for not only teens but the entire society. Many people wonder why women don't just leave.
Women are most likely to be killed when attempting to either report abuse or leave the abuser.
Yet, there are nearly three times as many animal shelters in the United States as there are shelters for battered women. Abusers withhold or destroy documentation such as birth certificates and immunization records, thus blocking or delaying the family's ability to receive housing assistance or welfare benefits. Fathers who are violent use school records or children's attendance at school to track down their mother. Many times people wrongly assume that domestic violence only happens to a certain group of people, the lower class. Nothing could be more false.
