Take a minute to think about the millions of children living with domestic violence. The millions of children that live in fear, that cannot sleep peacefully, that cannot play, that cannot enjoy the innocence of their childhood because they live with a monster.
I had the privilege of working with the Verizon Foundation to produce the “MONSTERS” video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=367JvtoTm34, a thought-provoking two and a half minutes that depict the devastating view of domestic violence from a child’s perspective.
A child who lives with domestic violence lives in darkness…she struggles to separate her nightmares from reality because there’s very little difference…the child who lives with domestic violence isn’t afraid of the dark…she’s afraid of her dad because the monster doesn’t live in her closet – he’s just down the hall.”
