Maria's Story

Domestic Violence & Child Abuse
Read Maria's Story

“Please officer, please don’t take my children! These are my babies, please! You can’t take them from me!” 

Tears were streaming down my face as the officer ripped my youngest child from my arms. I wanted to believe so badly that he could change. That he would see how the violence was destroying the children’s spirit. When he kept our 7-year-old from attending school for a week to hide the bruises he left on her face, I should have known it was only going to get worse. 

As the other three watched him strike me and then their brother, they cowered in fear relentlessly. The oldest would often get into altercations with other students at school, frequently resorting to violence as a means to express his anger and frustration. The younger siblings suffered from severe anxiety, had trouble making friends, and were often very quiet. 

When all the children were taken, he blamed me for everything and violently punished me for being a bad mother. I cried myself to sleep for weeks. Then one afternoon while he was at work, I packed up a small suitcase and left. Live Violence Free assisted Maria with emergency shelter, counseling, parenting classes, and advocacy with both law enforcement and social services. Additionally, she regularly attended peer therapy groups facilitated by Live Violence Free, and consistently communicated with Live Violence Free staff for emotional support and guidance. 

After successfully completing the parenting classes, all four children were reunited with their mother. The reunion was celebrated as a memorable achievement as it was a very special moment for Maria, her children, and the Live Violence Free staff. 

Live Violence Free provided each child with trauma rehabilitation including individual therapy, PTSD recovery, and peer supported youth programs. 

Although Maria has relocated out of the area, she routinely checks-in with Live Violence Free staff and recently shared that her oldest child no longer gets into physical or verbal altercations, and the three younger siblings are flourishing in communication and self-expression. Maria is the happiest she’s ever been; she loves her full-time job, and is now in a healthy, respectful relationship with her new boyfriend.
