THIS WEEK IN ATHLETICS:
Spotting signs of abuse virtually for caring adults and educators
A victim in an abusive situation at home, especially a child, may not be able to directly communicate about what is happening to them. Caring adults outside of the home, such as neighbors, extended family, friends, educators, and employers can look out for red flags that may indicate domestic or sexual violence.
Possible red flags that may indicate abuse:
- Yelling in the background of video or phone calls
- Behavior changes such as social withdrawal, difficulty concentrating, or loss of interest in usual activities
- Unexplained absences
- Complaints about soreness, pain, or trouble sleeping
Children are not the only ones who may be vulnerable within the home. If you suspect that someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, you can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline over the phone or via live chat. Advocates can help you to identify abuse and talk through options for next steps.
