< Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Next>We all want to help make sure children are loved, well cared for and brought up free from family violence.
Family violence is:
- violence by adults to other adults
- violence by adults to children, and
- violence by children to other children.
Family violence can be physical, sexual or emotional.
It's not only physical violence like slapping, shaking, beating or hitting. It is also:
- throwing things
- constant shouting and swearing
- put-downs
- involving children in sexual activities
- any threatening and controlling behaviour
- all the things that make children frightened or scared.
