Domestic Violence Is An Alarming Statistics

TWENTY-FIVE thousand Victorian children a year see horrific family violence attacks, mostly between their parents.

How could anyone expose their children to this?

Two out of five of them are aged under five.

A Herald Sun analysis of Victoria Police figures shows an average of 25,000 children a year are directly exposed to domestic outbursts so violent that police are called.

Over the past five years, 124,022 children were at family violence incidents attended by police. Of those, 46,937 were under five.

Last year, 20,816 children under 18 saw attacks and more than 8300 of them were under five years old.

At least one child is present at every second domestic incidents police attend, figures show.

Maybe the drug addicted Katrina evacuee should wake up.
