Your School’s Response to Dating Abuse? Sign a petition.
August 26th, 2008
If you had to get a protective order against someone you dated, what would happen if they went to your school? Or if the ex that was stalking you was in your chemistry class? Would your school help you?
Texas, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts are some of the very few states that have passed leglislation requiring schools to have a response to dating abuse situations. This can include teaching dating abuse awareness in health class, enforcing protective orders on campus, and safety planning with students who report being in abusive relationships. Â
Sign this petition, sponsored by Jennifer Ann’s Group, to show your support for dating abuse legislation and education in your own state.
