Notes:	This research provides detailed information from mothers about the nature of their children’s involvement in incidents of adult domestic assault. Voluntary, anonymous telephone interviews were conducted with 114 women in four metropolitan cities in the USA who have experienced domestic violence. Mothers reported a range of interventions by their children, such as yelling, calling for help and physical involvement. Study results show that the greater the violence on their mothers, the more likely children are to intervene. Similarly, children not biologically related to the abuser tended to intercede more.
