Family Domestic Violence Support
Domestic & Family Violence
A mother and her two young children recently entered transitional housing after escaping a long-term, violent relationship. Despite securing a Family Violence Restraining Order (FVRO) against the perpetrator—the children’s father—concerning and potentially dangerous behaviors continued to occur outside the home, including:
* A vehicle resembling the perpetrator’s parked near the property
* Unfamiliar footsteps and movement heard around the unit late at night
* Anonymous, threatening messages
These incidents created significant fear and anxiety for the mother and children, who had already endured trauma. Although reported to authorities, lack of concrete evidence made it difficult to pursue enforcement or increase protections.
This highlights the critical need for video surveillance cameras as part of our comprehensive safety planning for family fleeing family violence.
