Listen "Witnessing Domestic Violence"
Episode Synopsis
Description:
⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses real-life domestic violence incidents witnessed in public settings.
In this powerful and emotional episode, we recount a disturbing moment that unfolded in downtown Philadelphia — an act of domestic violence in a public plaza, witnessed by bystanders and, heartbreakingly, two small children. Through this firsthand account, we explore what it means to witness abuse, how society often reacts (or doesn't), and the deep impact it has on young observers.
We talk about what coercive control looks like, how abuse can shape a child's worldview, and what you can do — safely — if you witness violence. Whether you’re a survivor, a bystander, or an advocate, this episode provides clear and compassionate guidance on how to respond, seek help, and protect vulnerable children.
👂 Listen in to understand how we can shift the norm and create a safer world, one act of courage and compassion at a time.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, reach out to local resources or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1−800−799−SAFE (7233).
