The effects children undergo when they are witnessing domestic violence at their homes they become fearful, inhibited, aggressive, anti-social, with-drawn , anxious , depressed angry, confused and may also suffer from disturbed sleep, eating problems and they may face difficulties at school and problems in making friends. Children at times may feel caught up in between their parents and may find it difficult to talk to them.
Youngsters may exhibit taking risk such as taking drugs and alcohol , running away from home and getting involved in criminal behaviour. Young men will try to protect their mothers or they become abusive with their mothers as well. Young children may get injured if they try to intervence in the violence in their homes.
