Safety Planning For Children
Domestic violence is when grownups in your family hit, kick, push or throw things at someone else in your family.
When the fighting starts
Stay away from the fight!
Get Help!
- Go to a safe place, like a neighbor or friend's house
- Teachers, police officers, doctors, nurses, friends and neighbors are all people who you can go to for help
 |
If you need help RIGHT NOW, try to call 911 from a room away from the fighting |
Things to Think About
- Which doors, windows or stairs is the safest way to get out of your house during a fight?
- Which grown up could you talk to about getting help?
Remember: It's not your fault!!!!
- It's okay to love both of your parents, even if one parent is hurting the other
- But it's not okay for that parent to hurt you, your parent or anyone else
