Clifton Heights murder has Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County issuing warnings ahead of Super Bowl Sunday, Valentine's Day. KerriCorrado reports.
“Valentine’s Day is thought of as being a day of love, peace, and getting along, but that doesn’t stop the violent patterns that occur within violent relationships,” Executive Director Julie Avalos said.“Drug and alcohol can oftentimes become incorporated with such things as Super Bowl parties and those things can exasperate the violence that exists within families, make things a lot more violent and worse, and therefore put victims of domestic violence in a lot of danger,” Avalos said.
The Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County provides services such as a 24-hour hotline, safe houses, counseling, and legal services.“We know that when a victim of domestic violence is in the process of breaking up with their perpetrator, the risk of homicide is a lot higher,” Avalos said. Avalos says if you see warning signs or know someone who needs help, “the best thing to do is to be supportive and let them know that violence is not acceptable and never OK.”The National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233.
