Intimate Partner and Family Violence Crime Patterns and Interventions Child Abuse and Trauma

Abstract

Teen dating violence (TDV) challenges families because of negative effects on youths’ well-being. This exploratory study examines parents’ awareness of TDV and their anticipated responses to adolescents’ reports. The authors used a telephonic survey of 539 Michigan adults to assess knowledge of TDV, awareness of its prevalence, and anticipated responses. More mothers than fathers viewed TDV as a major public health problem and were likely to urge their adolescents to seek formal help. Fathers were more likely to ground their children or say that things are not so bad. Findings of demographic differences influencing parental responses can inform social workers to help parents plan for responding to TDV effectively.
