Differences in Reporting
Cannot use the same rules
– Safety issues for the victim
– May not recognize they are in a unhealthy or
violent relationship
– Parental involvement
– Not necessarily “mandated to report”
– Reporting agencies
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Media and Pop Culture Influences
Be thinking about…
• Teen role models and influences
• How can we use our knowledge of this
information to challenge common beliefs about
relationship norms and what is acceptable

Actual Song Lyrics
Blurred Lines- Robin Thicke, Pharrell
& T.I
OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you
But you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature
Just let me liberate you
You don't need no papers
And that's why I'm gon' take a good girl
I know you want it, (x3)
Can't let it get past me, You're far from plastic
Talk about getting blasted
25
One thing I ask of you
Let me be the one you back that a$$
into
Yeah, I had a bitch, but she ain't bad as
you…
Nothing like your last guy, he too
square for you
I'm a nice guy, but don't get it if you get
with me
That man is not your
maker
I hate these blurred
lines
I know you want it,
(x3)
But you're a good girl
The way you grab me
Must wanna get nasty
I'll give you something big enough to
tear your a$$ in two…
He don't smack that a$$ and pull your
hair like that
So I just watch and wait for you to
salute
Not many women can refuse this
pimpin'
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Actual Song Lyrics
The Band Perry- Better Dig Two
So if the ties that bind ever do come loose
Tie 'em in a knot like a hangman's noose
Cause I'll go to heaven or I'll go to hell
Before I'll see you with someone else
If the ties that bind ever do come loose
If "forever" ever ends for you
If that ring gets a little too tight
You might as well read me my last rites
And let the stone say:
"Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much"
If you go before I do
Gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
26

Actual Song Lyrics
Florence + The Machine, “Kiss With A Fist”
“You hit me once, I hit you back / You gave a
kick, I gave a slap / You smashed a plate over
my head / Then I set fire to our bed.”
27
Florence Welch is on
record as saying “Kiss With
A Fist” isn’t about domestic
violence, but rather “two
people pushing each other
to psychological extremes
because they love each
other.”

Actual Song Lyrics
Fun. We are Young
My seat's been taken by some
sunglasses Asking 'bout a scar
I know I gave it to you months
ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and
subtle things ,
And the holes in my apologies
You know I'm trying hard to take
it back
Tonight,
We are young
So let's the set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Miranda Lambert-
Gunpowder & Lead
If he wants a fight well now he's
got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slapped my face and he shook
me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little
girls are made of
Gunpowder and lead
His fist is big but my gun's bigger
He'll find out when I pull the
trigger

involved in abusive relationships
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
As a Caregiver- talk to your kids
EARLY

• They need to feel secure talking to you
• Create a supportive environment
– Be available
– Show respect for each other
– Need to be able to trust you
– Show interest by asking
questions in a comfortable
order and style
Choose Respect: www.cdc.gov/chooserespect
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Guidelines for Introducing Conversation

• Let your teen be the expert on his/her world
• Relate your discussion to things they are
interested in

• Make sure your teen is not spending a lot of time in
unsupervised situations

doing and who they are with
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Warning signs to discuss with teens:
• Your Partner:
– Tells you what to do or
wear
– Makes false accusations or
constantly accuses you of
cheating
– Only wants you to hang out
with them
– Blames you for their
problems
– Has huge mood swings
and goes from being really
angry to very sweet in
short periods of time
• You:
– Apologize for the behavior
or make excuses for it
– Frequently worry about
making them angry
– Stop doing things that are
important to you to make
them happy
– Cancel plans with friends
at the last minute
– Are afraid to break up
because they may hurt
you, or themselves
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
What if you find a teen is in a
potentially abusive relationship?
• Brainstorm with teens – who to call, where to go if
in imminent danger, what they should take with
them
– Encourage them:
• To tell parents or family members they are afraid of their
partner
• To try not to be alone with their partner- go out in public
places, try to always keep a cell phone on them, let
other’s know where they are
• If they’re breaking up, don’t break up in person/alone
• Always tell an adult or someone who can help if their
partner threatens violence
• Change passwords & block access to social networking
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Educating Teens

• Teach teens about media literacy- need to think
critically about the messages they are receiving

honest and offer to help find out the facts
together

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Amber Ask if anyone recognizes these two people – we see TDV in media much more often. It’s not one act – occurs repeatedly. Its not that they were angry one time, they use these acts to control behavior Some other defitions go up to 25 years of age - a guy doesn't usually start hitting his gf out of the blue - usually starts with a bit of verbal and emotional abuse; cutting her down, telling her she's stupid or ugly, chipping away her at her sense of self worth that way by the time the physical violence begins, her self-esteem has been broken down, it can be even harder for her to leave the relationship
  2. Amber REMINDER: Before webinar, pull up power and control wheel and be prepared to share application to view this item!! Physical abuse-involves using physical force that has the potential to kill or harm, most visible form of violence EX:hitting, choking, stabbing, slapping, hair pulling Emotional abuse (also verbal)-refers to acts that cause emotional trauma, most hidden but often most detrimental EX: threatening to reveal secrets, embarrassing on purpose, verbal intimidation (name-calling, putdowns, threathening partner or family members), texting, telling how to dress, excessive jealousy Sexual abuse-forcing a partner to engage in a sex act when he or she does not consent, includes coercive sex, unwanted touching, refusing to use birth control/sabotaging birth control **Other forms of abuse: Focus more on Electronic aggression-emotional or sexual abuse that carries over to cyberspace Reciprocal violence-when both partners are perpetrators, injuries more likely to occur. 38.9% males and 50.4% females reported being in a relationship where reciprocal violence occurred Give examples!! Using cell phones to follow movements, check-ins on FB & status updates, google Possibly find a video clip of aggression or excuses for behavior When females are perpetrators of abuse they are more likely to use emotional abuse and males are more likely to use physical
  3. Amber
  4. - 1/3 reported their partner had checked on them 10,20, or 30 times/day via cell phone (who with, where they are) - 1/3 reported their partner used email or text to check on them 10, 20, or 30 times per hour - 1/4 experienced harassment,  name-calling, or put downs from a current or former dating partner through cell phone or text - 1/5 experienced harassment or put downs through social networking   BUT, the important thing to note about this study is that it took place in 2007. One can only imagine what things are like now with the popularity of things like iMessage, whatsapp and now where unlimited text is common place. Back in 2007 you were much more likely to have limitations on how many texts you could send. I think this is a good point to make when you bring up that stat.
  5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U Amber The longer the relationship lasts the shorter the time period in between cycles Eminem & Rihanna- a lot of the irony behind this song is the history of intimate partner violence in both Rihanna and Eminem’s personal lives
  6. Correlates not necessary causative Individual – age – they lack the experience of intimacy which makes it difficult to negotiate their new sexuality, handle relationship conflict, and realize the seriousness of intimate partner abuse. Teens may believe that possessive jealousy and controlling behavior is an expression of love Cigarette use, drinking, being a minority, marijuana use AA youth to be highest risk – don’t know if its cause of race per se or other circumstances such as socioeconomic disadvantage Having been hit by an adult, living in a single parent household For survivors of child sexual abuse 45% reported experiencing physical violence First intercourse early Relationship Less parental inovlenmeent risk factor for perpetrating violence for females Having friends in violent relatioships is more influential than the effect of witnessing interparental violence Friend violence consistently predicted later dating violence Boys are more influenced by their peers than girls are when it comes to violent behavior. Society - polls showed that teens thought the violence was Rihanna’s fault- saying she mustve done something to make him so angry
  7. One study found African American females are the most likely to perpetrate TDV Females- Childhood emotional abuse is the strongest predictor or adolescent sexual perpetration- after controlling for CSA Males- Childhood emotional abuse is the strongest predictor for adolescent sexual victimization
  8. Less relationship experience Identify jealousy and controlling behaviors as signs of love forseeing and weighing possible consequences of behavior -impulse control and delaying gratification -modulation of intense emotions - inhibiting inappropriate behavior and initiating appropriate behavior -it is not capable of the reasoning that allows most grown-ups to make rational decisions - so if you had a bad day at work and you want to fly off the handle and yell at your boss, your prefrontal cortex comes online to remind you of the consequences of your actions - its almost like an entertainment center that hasnt been fully hooked up - the dvd player doesn't work with the surround sound, the remote control hasn't arrived, hasn't been formatted to all work together

  10. Amber
  11. Kara More likely to smoke, use drugs, engage in unhealthy diet behaviors, engage in risky sexual behaviors and attempt or consider suicide Disordered eating- more likely to use laxatives, vomit, use diet pills, binge eat - over half who report dv also report attempting suicide - females had high depressive symptoms, at risk for long-term behavioral and psych impairment Compared with non-abused girls, those who experienced physical and sexual violence are more than twice as likely to report an std Adol girls in physically abusive relationships were 3.5 times more likely to become pregant than non-abused girls -pregnant teens who experienced abuse were more likely to miscarry than their non-abused peers Prenatal violence was a significant risk factor for pre-term birth among pregnant adolescents adolescent mothers who experienced physical abuse within 3 months after delivery were nearly twice as likely to have a repeat pregnancy within 24 mos 1 in 4 teens say the threat of violence interfered with teaching effectiveness and disrupted their learning Those that are victims of teen dating violence are three times more likely to experience violence in college
  12. Kara One study found that men who perpetrated in high school were at a greater risk for sexual perptration in college
  13. Prevalence similar among all income levels, ethnicities and races 72% of 8th and 9th graders reportedly “date” 1 in 3 adolescent girls in the US are victims of physical, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner- old stat Girls and young women between the ages of 16 and 24 experience the highest rate of intimate partner violence -- almost triple the national average. ^ loveisrespect.org According to a study done by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: More than one in three (37%) students surveyed report being a victim of emotional dating violence in the last six months. Nearly one in six (15%) students surveyed report being a victim of physical dating violence in the last six months. Nearly two out of three students surveyed (63%) strongly agree with a harmful gender stereotype, such as "with boyfriends and girlfriends, the boy should be smarter than the girl." Amber *Possibly weave numbers in throughout presentation rather than one slide* Youth Risk Behavior Survey: Prevalence higher among blacks (14.3%) and Hispanics (11.5%) than whites (8.0%) Leading cause of death in African American girls between 15-19, second leading cause of death in girls of other races “Amy Karan & Lisa Keatings, Obsessive Teenage Love: The Precursor to Domestic Violence, 46 Judges J. 23, 24 (2007).” 1 in 3 adolescent girls in the US is a victim of physical, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner
  14. According to the YRBS Approx 11% of teens report being hit, slapped, or physically hurt on purpose by a boyfriend or girlfriend in the 12 months before surveyed So, when I asked you in the title of this presentation, is TDV the New Normal? According to this, it doesn’t seem that way- but just 2 years ago in 2009 Georgia was ranked #6 in the nation for TDV. Now as of 2011, it is #1. And as you will see based on the examples I am going to show later in the presentation, public perception about violence and what is acceptable as part of a relationship is way off base. TDV rates 1-5 in 2009 Louisiana, Maryland, Alabama, Arkansas, South Carolina
  15. Amber Focus on what you know as a facilitator of Stewards and how you would go about reporting child sexual abuse Merge with slide 14 60% of victims and 79% of perpetrators did not ask for help Other reasons don’t ask for help: feeling of helplessness, poor knowledge of resources, low self-awareness of need for help, hope situation will improve, not realizing that violence in relationship is wrong or confusing it for feelings of love Afraid of being reported to get offical help or parents may know Fear of abuser- how will they respond? How will peers respond? Emotional attachment Lack of resources – cant get TPO, shelters don’t accept minors etc

  21. It’s only a song, right? “Violent song lyrics increase negative emotions and thoughts that can lead to aggression” Violent song lyrics may lead to violent behavior July 2003, Vol 34, No. 7 Print version: page 15 Violent song lyrics increase negative emotions and thoughts that can lead to aggression, according to a study published in the May issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Vol. 84, No. 5). The study challenges the ancient Greek "catharsis hypothesis" that claims that expressing aggressive emotion will later decrease aggressive behavior. Instead, researchers from Iowa State University and the Texas Department of Human Services found that aggressive music lyrics increase aggressive thoughts and feelings, which might perpetuate aggressive behavior and have long-term effects, such as influencing listeners' perceptions of society and contributing to the development of aggressive personalities. "This [study] provides the first clean demonstration of violent lyric effects," says lead author Craig Anderson, PhD, of Iowa State University. In five experiments, Anderson and his colleagues asked more than 500 college students to listen to such violent songs as "Shoot 'Em Up" by Cypress Hill and "Hit 'Em Hard" by Run DMC, and such nonviolent songs as "Finger Lickin' Good" by the Beastie Boys and "Love vs. Loneliness" by the Suicidal Tendencies. Researchers also included the lyrics of humorous violent and nonviolent songs like "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash and "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh" by Allan Sherman. After listening to the songs, the students performed various word-association tasks to test whether they linked more non-aggressive words with aggressive words or filled incomplete words with vowels to make aggressive words. They also reported their feelings of hostility as measured by the State Hostility Scale, ranking sentences based on their emotions after hearing the songs. The results indicate a relationship between violent song lyrics and increased aggressive thoughts and feelings of hostility. Humorous violent songs also increased aggression levels, relative to humorous nonviolent songs, according to Anderson. The findings held even after the researchers controlled for the listeners' gender and personality differences, as well as their reactions to the different performing artists and musical styles.

After listening to the songs, the students performed various word-association tasks to test whether they linked more non-aggressive words with aggressive words or filled incomplete words with vowels to make aggressive words. They also reported their feelings of hostility as measured by the State Hostility Scale, ranking sentences based on their emotions after hearing the songs. The results indicate a relationship between violent song lyrics and increased aggressive thoughts and feelings of hostility. Humorous violent songs also increased aggression levels, relative to humorous nonviolent songs, according to Anderson. The findings held even after the researchers controlled for the listeners' gender and personality differences, as well as their reactions to the different performing artists and musical styles.
  23. It’s only a song, right? “Violent song lyrics increase negative emotions and thoughts that can lead to aggression” Violent song lyrics may lead to violent behavior July 2003, Vol 34, No. 7 Print version: page 15 Violent song lyrics increase negative emotions and thoughts that can lead to aggression, according to a study published in the May issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Vol. 84, No. 5). The study challenges the ancient Greek "catharsis hypothesis" that claims that expressing aggressive emotion will later decrease aggressive behavior. Instead, researchers from Iowa State University and the Texas Department of Human Services found that aggressive music lyrics increase aggressive thoughts and feelings, which might perpetuate aggressive behavior and have long-term effects, such as influencing listeners' perceptions of society and contributing to the development of aggressive personalities. "This [study] provides the first clean demonstration of violent lyric effects," says lead author Craig Anderson, PhD, of Iowa State University. In five experiments, Anderson and his colleagues asked more than 500 college students to listen to such violent songs as "Shoot 'Em Up" by Cypress Hill and "Hit 'Em Hard" by Run DMC, and such nonviolent songs as "Finger Lickin' Good" by the Beastie Boys and "Love vs. Loneliness" by the Suicidal Tendencies.

  25. Start with a general question or observation “Do you think there’s a lot of pressure to have sex at your school?” OR I overheard a couple of kids from the neighborhood saying that, if you’re dating someone, you have to have sex with them in order to prove that you’re loyal and you’re not cheating on them. Do you think that’s what loyalty is about? Examples of questions: Is there someone you really like? What kind of things do you do together? Have you ever felt pressure or wanted to have sex?
