Wayland Patch 7/21/11: Warning Signs of Teen Dating Violence.When most people think of domestic violence we typically envision adults, not young people, but there is growing concern among our teens regarding this issue. When I was in labor, a nurse took me aside and asked me if I was afraid at home. She explained it was standard procedure to ask moms this question when admitted to the maternity floor. Thankfully, I was not afraid … but many women are. I continue to see an effort to reach out to those who live with violence every day through tear sheets at my doctor’s office, on the back of bathroom stall doors, at my church, all hoping that women will seek the help they need by making contacts readily available.
