3/14/09 - National Coalition Against Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence is a worldwide epidemic affecting every country, every community, every race, religion, ethnic group, age and sex and there are many different aspects to it. Today, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone talks with Rita Smith, Executive Director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), one of the largest and most prestigious organizations in the field, about the services it provides for victims and about how the issue of domestic abuse figures in divorce and child custody cases. We’ll also be talking about the controversial subjects of (supposedly) false claims of abuse by one parent in order to restrict visitation rights and the Parental Alienation Syndrome, where one parent, usually the mother, is accused of attempting to alienate a child from the other parent. Stay tuned for a list of important resources including programs that provide free cosmetic reconstruction surgery to disfigured victims.
