Raising Awareness on Domestic Violence and Supporting Victims.

Newly released court documents reveal that Adam Fravel had a history of physically abusing Madeline Kingsbury, his on-again, off-again partner of seven years, in front of her children. Experts say that domestic violence is all about power and control and can be a subtle pattern of abusive behavior that takes place over time. People can stay in a domestic violence situation because they want their children to have access to their father, but it can also be the reason why they want to leave. Kingsbury's children are now in the custody of her parents, and experts stress the importance of them having access to their emotions and trusted adults.
