Q15. Domestic and family violence takes many forms. Read the following crisis scenario. Identify five examples of domestic violence in the crisis situation. Myra, 26, met her boyfriend Paul, 42, online last May. He was very attentive from the beginning, taking her on romantic trips and buying her gifts. After a few months, he began to control Myra subtly. He asked for her phone password (to use her Spotify account) and began secretly checking her phone every day. Then, he began to message her friends, pretending to be Myra, telling them she was too busy to catch up with them because she was in love. When Myra saw the messages, she thought it was strange and questioned Paul. At first, he said it was just a joke. When Myra tried to create a boundary by asking him not to use her phone again without her permission, Paul became very angry. He started shouting at her, saying, “WHY? What are you hiding? Who else are you sleeping with?” After that, Paul kept accusing Myra of sleeping around and calling her derogatory names. He started to follow her when she went out, telling her he was just making sure she wasn’t cheating on him. He became jealous and angry when Myra would spend time with other people, including her family. He tried to make her feel guilty, saying things like, “When you abandon me to spend time with your mother, it makes me want to kill myself”. In the end, Myra started to feel so stressed by his demands that she started making excuses not to see her family and friends. One day, Myra’s cousin Mike was visiting town from overseas. Myra had not seen him for many years. She agreed to meet Mike at a caf?? for a coffee at 10:00 a.m. At midday, Mike left. It was great to catch up after so many years! Three hours later, Myra arrived home. Paul was waiting for her. He grabbed her and held a knife to her throat, demanding to know where she had been. He said he would kill her and himself if she ever left him. Q16. Child abuse takes many forms and can occur in different families or communities. Read the following crisis scenario. Identify five indicators of abuse in the crisis situation. Hannah, 12, was referred to First Access three months ago by her elite girl’s school as a behavioural support strategy. Hannah has a long history of running away from home, wagging school, being anti-social, and sometimes aggressive. Her mother says she is out of control and that she is at her wits end. Hannah says she does not want to attend First Access and is usually quiet and withdrawn during her appointments, often picking at her hair or chewing all around her nails. You can see the beginnings of a bald patch over Hannah’s left ear. This is the first time Hannah has attended an appointment in almost three weeks as she has been in hospital and recovering at home from a mystery illness. It is an unusually warm day for the time of year, and you can see several bruises of varying sizes and colours and what looks like cuts on Hannah’s arms where she has pushed up her long sleeves. When you ask her what has happened, Hannah quickly shoves her sleeves back down, mumbles, ‘Nothing, nothing’s wrong’, and fixes her gaze out the window, refusing to make eye contact.
