An article I recently read in Science Daily is titled “Violent Upbringing May Lead To Domestic Violence.”

According to the article early exposure to a violent environment is likely to lead to domestic violence situations later in life. Logically if one is exposed to violence at home they are certainly more likely to either become victims or abusers. You can read the article to find out the reasons http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091005161330.htm.

But how big of a problem is the U.S. facing? According to a research study on posted on American Bar Association website http://new.abanet.org/domesticviolence/Pages/Statistics.aspx, 3.3 million to 10 million children witness domestic violence annually. WOW!

Domestic violence hurts us all- including our children!
