Domestic violence in the home strikes at the heart of our society. Much of family violence is learned. The home, not the street is the "nursery school" for violence. Family violence has an everlasting effect on children. The violence that my siblings as well as I seem as kids have effecting all of us in many different ways. I know two individuals that I brought diapers when they were babies. Today they are doing life in prison, without the possibility of pardon. I not making excuses for them. Their fathers were very abusive to their family.
