Direnfeld, Gary. "Domestic Violence Effects on Children." Divorce Advice, Laws, and
Information from WomansDivorce. 2001. Web. 17 Apr. 2011.
This website talks about the effect that child abuse and witnessing abuse have on children later on in life. The author of this website is Gary Direnfeld MSW, RSW a child behavior expert, a social worker and author. The pitch of this article is to inform readers the effects violence has on children so that we can deal with it in the correct way before it alters the child’s development. The complaint of this article is the manifestation of the exposure to abuse later on. The article was written in the 2000's a time when technology and TV is have a big impact on children, and children are now more easily exposed to violence every day. The assumption of this article is that abusers experienced forms of abuse or witnessed abuse sometime in their life, which made them abusive. This source enhances my analysis of my primary source because it proves the point of the video.
Step 1: This point would be that parents do have a high influence on their child’s behavior. This source also proves the importance of the last scene of the commercial that shows domestic violence. This source say’s if a child witnesses domestic violence the child is more likely to carry this action out later on in their own lives. Another way this source enhances my analysis is it makes my analysis more believable because I can substantiate my claims.

This text explains the mission and the target audience of the NAPCAN organization. The author of this text was unidentified, but it was created by the NAPCAN organization. The pitch of this text is to inform parents about child abuse so that adults can help prevent it. The complaint of this text is that 300,000 children in Australia were abused verbally, physically and emotionally. Child abuse is the largest social issue in Australia today and NAPCAN is working to protect all of Australia's children. The assumption is that parents aren't well informed enough about child abuse, so hopefully this information will help lower the numbers of children being abused in Australia
Step 2: Additional sources could be:
http://www.aafp.org/afp/2002/1201/p2052.html
Step 3: My source from NAPCAN helps my source about how domestic violence affects children because it shows why NAPCAN is targeting parents in particular. Children who witness violence or bad behavior tend to repeat this behavior, especially when their parents are the one doing these actions.
