Warning:
Violence often gets worse
when you try to leave or
show signs of independence.
Take special care!!
Key steps:
-
Try to figure out
warning signs that come
before an assault.
Drinking, drugs, pay
day, a bad day at work,
etc.
-
Are there physical
signs? Clenched fists,
threats, a red face,
throwing things?
-
Try to get out or get
help before anything
happens
-
Are there weapons in the
house? Can you remove
them? Lock them up?
-
Can you signal the
neighbors? Can your
children learn to call
the police?
-
How will you get out of
the house? Set a routine
so that it is normal for
you to leave the house
for a short period of
time
-
If possible take your
children with you.
Alternatives are to send
them to a friend or
relative.
Items To Take When
Leaving:
Try to have the following
items organized in one
place, so in case you have
to leave in a hurry they are
ready. Also, make copies of
as many of these as possible
so a duplicate is available
in a second location.
