CNN’s Kelly Wallace discusses the impact domestic violence has on children in the wake of the Ray Rice case. 90% of children in a domestically violent home report knowing about the violence.

Parents are role models, and boys can get skewed views about masculinity from their violent fathers and girl false notions of femininity from their abused mothers.
