    The effects of a child witnessing domestic violence is an issue that up until recently went unnoticed. As researchers have observed the lifelong impact that it has on children is almost as bad as the crime itself. According to Theresa Vargas, “These children [who witness domestic violence] are much more likely to suffer as adults from addiction and other health problems and become victims or perpetrators of violence” (Vargas 3 of 7). In 2008 a young boy from Southern Maryland named Michael, watched his mother, Erin Curtis be brutally stabbed twenty-seven times by his stepfather. Only nine years old at the time Michael called 911, a move that ultimately saved his mother’s life.

  • Domestic Violence Victims

    Over the past two decades, increased cases of domestic violence and children as witnesses have led to agencies developing practices and programs to reduce cases of system-related trauma among children (National Institute of Justice (U.S.), American Bar Association & American Bar Association, 1999). These programs have proven to be multidisciplinary and aimed at reducing anxiety and depression among kids. The programs also touch on various areas that include preventing future cases of victimization, coordination of the responses of agencies dealing with child victims, access of treatment to children who have been victims of domestic violence and facilitate representation and support for child victims in both juvenile courts and the criminal justice system (Law.lclark.edu, 2015). The other innovative strategies that can reduce trauma among children include the preparation of children for the witness stand in a manner that considers the child’s mental health and is developmentally appropriate. It is at this point where a clinician is required to assess the psychological condition of a child and determine whether it would be appropriate for them to testify or not.

    In addition, Edleson and his colleagues have estimated that up to 10 million children are exposed to incidents of domestic violence (e.g., see Edleson et al., 2007; Rossman, Rea, Graham-Bermann, & Butterfield, 2004) each year. There is no doubt about the direct relationship between child exposure to violence with delinquency and other negativities but the question is availability of evidential statistics to support the obvious. However, important public policy documents such as the yearbook of the Children’s Defense Fund, the report of the U.S. Attorney General’s Task Force on Domestic Violence, and the National Crime Victimization Survey conducted by the National Institute of Justice do not discuss the state of knowledge concerning children exposed to domestic violence. These children have remained invisible to researchers and policymakers, at least in part, because of the absence of meaningful data concerning the nature and scope of the problem.
