When children witness domestic violence.
Children who grow up in violent homes do not necessarily become violent parents later on. Some children remain asymptomatic. However, the majority are behaviorally disordered and others suffer from PTSD, grief reactions and separation anxiety. Children who themselves are not abused are not likely to be identified and appropriately treated.
