Children who witness domestic violence are at risk of being exposed to frightening and traumatic experiences at a young age. These experiences have the ability to negatively impact a child’s life, growth, and development. Children who grow up in violent homes may suffer from anxiety, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, aggression, depression, poor health, etc.
