For the City-Times

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is pleased to join staff and supporters of End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin for a significant announcement related to teen dating violence.

“As Attorney General and more importantly, as a father of two teens, protecting children has been and remains my top priority,” Van Hollen said.  “I’m pleased to join End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin as it embarks on a new initiative to reduce what many parents and caregivers may not realize is a problem – intimate partner violence among teenagers.  The organization’s leadership and efforts in this area also will serve our local partners to the benefit of young people and families across Wisconsin.”

Attorney General Van Hollen will join End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin at 10:30 am tomorrow to deliver remarks at the organization’s Madison office, located at 1245 East Washington Avenue.  Media are encouraged to attend.
