What signs should parents look out for that would indicate their child is in an abusive relationship? How should they approach talking to them about it?

The group L.I. Against Domestic Violence says that one in three adolescents have experienced some form of abuse during their dating life.

They have a hotline set up for those who need help at 631-666-8833. More information can be found here.
