    DOES YOUR PARTNER? Tell you that your child is a nuisance?

    ? Show anger or impatience when your child cries or has a tantrum? Call your child BAD NAMES or put him down? Stop you from bringing your child to family events? Make ALL of the decisions for you and your child? Tell you that you are a bad parent or that you should not have your kids? Pretend that WHEN HE HURTS YOUR CHILD that you are to BLAME or that its NO BIG DEAL? Make your child SCARED by using guns or knives or other weapons?
    If you answered yes to even one of these your child might be at risk! NEVER leave your child with someone you dont trust with your childs life.

    Far too often, a child is abused or even killed when left in the care of a parents partner. In Ohio, data shows that of those children who were killed, the biological parent was responsible in 61% of the reviews. The mothers partner was cited in 28% of the reviews (Ohio Department of Health; Child Fatality Eighth Annual Report, September 2008). WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

    Get you and your child to a SAFE place Contact Lake County Children Services Contact your local Domestic Violence shelter If you cannot get to a SAFE place, contact one of the local agencies for immediate help.

    Ask yourself these questions:


    Does your partner have a criminal history? How has he or she treated their past partners? How does he or she treat other children? How does he or she treat animals? Does he or she get angry when you spend time with your child? Remember, this is the one choice you can make to save your child or children from harm or even death.

    When you choose a partner for you, you are choosing for your child too.

    CHOOSE YOUR PARTNER CAREFULLY.

    Your baby is counting on you to make the right decision.
