The community with whom I plan on conduct in my work would be domestic violence in Laguna and Acoma. Reason being is that I think that they are some of the pueblos that have domestic violence. Also some kids in the community are scared to tell a love one or someone that they might be close to. In both communities I think that there are some kids that would want to share their stories and just let everything that they have been holding on out. So others will know that it's okay to share because that will help you. Help the people that is getting hurt get things of their chest so they don't have to live in fear anymore.
In the two articles above they talk about how there are different kinds of ways that can help or cause domestic violence. Also in the first article that i read is that even a doorbell can donate to domestic violence. So it would be easier for the people that are being domestic violence victims to go away without having to lie and not get into trouble. Also it would be who is the witness and others who have been around the person and the person that is getting hurt.
Also if someone is hurt they would provide help and other things that people will need to get better. There is a $20,000 to the states organization as part of the domestic violence. It tells us about what people think about doorbells and how it would help out people who are in trouble and that can't leave or do anything. The person that they are with might not want them to call or tell people that is going on in their relationship.
In the other article it talks about different ways to get help and the sentence if they were getting hurt or if someone is getting hurt. In different states there are different types of sentences that are going to be headle. They are caught or if someone goes to jail and that has been domestic violence is a woman. Like for example in England if a male is taken for hurting a female , then it's adimatic that the male will be in jail for a lifetime.
15% of the women are mothers and that some of the childernes would see what is going on and what is happening. Also after being around things like that it would mess up the child's health and mind as they get older. So domestic violence takes a big told on the younger kids mind and stays with them as they grow.
In the video it's talking about how domestic violence is a really bad thing and that we need to stop it happening because it messes with the minds of the younger children. Also it tells us about why male take their anger out on women. Also there are more women that are mothers that are getting hurt from domestic violence in front of their child. Once the child see everything that is going on then that would be a nightmare reason is that might have flashbacks on what was going on with their parents,
The video talked about how some women have been through domestic violence and that they went to go get help. The people that went to get help would talk and when they leave then they would feel good about themselves because they would let everything that they were holding in out. There would be some help to childs that have witnessed domestic violence in their household.
Well in the video this lady name Emma Murphy, she talks about how she went through domestic violence. In the beginning of the video she tells everyone her story and how it affects her little family. She even said that she loved the person that she was with but she knew that she couldn’t do it anymore. Emma made a video to let others know that it’s okay to leave the person that you are in love with. If you can’t do it anymore and the violence is getting worse then you might as well have to leave before it’s too late.
The first article that I have read is that it talks about how domestic violence can affect Children's lives. It basically says that whenever kids are around domestic violence can take a lot of the stuff that is going on inside the house with them. When they get older they might still have all the memories that they have when they are little. They are dating someone that may be abusive, so that’s when the memoirs would play back from when they are little. So they might be scared to say anything, so they might just play it off like they are a happy family and nothing is going on.
The second article is also talking about how it made kids feel and react to domestic violence. In the article it talks about how 68%-80% of kids have witnessed domestic violence. Almost every kid that has been through it may have anxiety or depression. This stuff may be around with them for a long time because they can’t really do anything now. Even when kids that have been through domestic violence, they might not be comfortable around other adults. For me when I started reading the article and how it talked about younger kids that have been around it made me feel bad for them because they aren’t really living a life that other kids may have.
