On Friday, March 28th, 2003, the last bell rang at Reagan High School in Austin, Texas, and students flooded into the hallways, rejoicing that the weekend was finally here. But soon, those excited shouts and plans for the weekend turned into screams of terror, and one of the students ran into Vanessa Conner’s classroom, telling her she had to come out into the hall to see what had happened. As Ms. Conner peered over the railing to the bottom of the stairs, she was horrified to find one of her students covered in stab wounds and slashes and lying in a pool of blood.
February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month in the United States, and in this episode we highlight a nightmarish case of deadly teen dating violence, before diving into a discussion of abusers and their motivations, the different kinds of abuse and some potential interventions to help reduce instances of Teen Dating Violence.
If you are currently dealing with teen dating violence or any other kind of intimate partner violence, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or text SMART to 88788.
