How children can be drawn into abuse

  • May see or hear you being raped

  • May be asked to participate in the abuse and perhaps rewarded for this

  • May be forced to do housework if you cannot

  • You may be undermined in front of them, which may confuse them

  • They may be used to find you if you have left the home

  • They may be forced to remain silent or keep the abuse a secret

  • Be threatened if you do not comply with the abusers demands or expectations

  • Have their toys destroyed or their pets killed

  • Not allowed to have contact with you
