Teen dating violence study

April 3, 2012 Uncategorized No Comments


 

A new study of 1,430 7th grade students reveals that many 7th-graders are dating and experiencing physical, psychological and electronic dating violence. More than one in three students (37%) surveyed report being a victim of ‘psychological dating violence’ and nearly one in six (15%) report being a victim of ‘physical dating violence.’ This study also found that while some attitudes and behaviors associated with increased risk for teen dating violence are pervasive, nearly three-quarters of students surveyed report talking to their parents about dating and teen dating violence. Parent-child communication is considered a protective factor that reduces the risk for teen dating violence.
In this interview Judge Hyman can discuss the role parents play and how in California a 12 year old can get a restraining order!
