Boys & Girls Club teens help take back the night

Story here. Excerpt:

'Last week on Tuesday, October 6th, Boys & Girls Club teens attended Take Back the Night to help raise awareness about domestic abuse.

Previous to the rally, Club members created their own special signs to show support for domestic abuse survivors.
“Domestic violence affects everyone, including kids,” said Club Education Director Tiffanie Bolling. “A lot of the kids that we work with have been victims themselves or know someone close to them that has been a victim. An event like Take Back the Night encourages strength and perseverance to individuals that have gone through horrific situations.”

“We teach our young girls to spot the signs of something wrong before it ever even gets to a violent situation,” said Bolling. “We teach them that love does not hurt and that no amount of hitting is ever okay. Getting help before it's too late is key.”
