Coronavirus Lockdown Sees Rise in Domestic Violence, Child Abuse
Victims are trapped with their abusers.
The coronavirus not only disrupted lifestyles, jobs, schools, and more, but also the will for many victims to leave their abusers. When a man, woman, or child is relying on someone for food, shelter, and money, they are less likely to leave if they feel like there is no one or group that can help outside of their abuser.
Cities like Chicago, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Memphis, and New Orleans all experienced an increase in domestic violence cases while other violent crimes decreased. The reasons for this include severe poverty and stress. An abuser or victim who loses his or her job is not going to be a pleasant person to be around. The daily worry of not having enough to eat, drink, or money will send an unstable person over the edge coupled with crying and/or fighting children. Anyone within striking distance will suffer at the hands of an abuser!
When victims want desperately to return to workplaces by any means necessary, there is a good reason. They may feel pressure from their oppressor to pay bills, purchase an abuser's many requests, or they simply want to get away from their abusive relative. Work provides that escape even when they aren't ready to pack up and leave.
Children, who have been victimized, may have taken refuge in attending school. At least for them, they were able to break from argumentative and/or violent parents. But then the lockdown came, and now they are trying to survive in a household of mentally unstable people.
Despite there being a lockdown still in many counties, the hotlines haven't shutdown. There are many resources to help. If you or someone you know, needs assistance, call National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-7233.
