It is all well & good writing on this problemin society,all the effects are already well known & documaeted but are not heededin the real world by social workers, & other so called professionals.
Victims of domestic violence, children & parent involved must be told the truth.
Inside the family court, the chances are , the abuser will get contact & even full custody of these already abused children.
51% of mothers who came for help from child protection services have had their children forcibly adoptedin UK.
So, the reward for doing the right thing is to loose the children to the abuser or the care system.
Either way, the children are going to be traumatised & fragmented.
All because the child protection industry knows fine well that the abused parent will keep fighting to try & protect the children.
Social workers & court agents will Not help you to get justice.
This is what needs writing about.
Protecting children from domestic violence - By: , 03 Oct 2001 
This book gives an excellent overview of the impact of domestic violence on the lives of children & their mothers. It should be a compulsory text for refuge workers, social workers & all professionals working with children caught upin domestic violence situations.
The book is well laid out, clear & accessible, giving up to date research as well as tools for working with families.
As a child protection social worker, I cannot recommend it highly enough. for too long we have under estimated the effects of domestic violence on children. This book is keyin raising awareness, & provides a clear guide for their protection.
