Documenting patterns and instances of dating abuse in all its forms can be an important step for some survivors. It may help preserve information for legal purposes, while also providing clarity and validation when processing complex experiences.

Approaches to documentation can look different for everyone, and should always prioritize personal safety. Explore ways to document abuse and access additional resources: https://bit.ly/3YTgXyXhttps://bit.ly/3YTgXyX

💔 A Tough Reminder This Morning

On Tuesday morning, Shreveport Police officers responded to a major accident that stemmed from a domestic dispute in the 300 block of West 71st Street.

In far too many of these situations, our officers are left picking up the pieces of families on their worst day.

In this case, the child’s father was arrested, and officers took custody of the child until Child Protective Services arrived to ensure the child’s safety.

We are asking—no, begging—parents to think about the impact your decisions have on your children. Domestic violence doesn’t just affect those involved in the moment—it leaves lasting trauma on the children who witness it.

Think before you act. Protect your children. Break the cycle.
