Safety Warning

If you are in danger, please try to use a computer in which someone abusive does not have direct or indirect (hacking) access. It may be safer to use a computer other than your own, such as at the public library, at a community technology center, a trusted friend's house or an Internet Café. You can contact ctcnet for a directory of technology centers near you. If you think your activities are being monitored, then they probably are. Abusive people are controlling and often want to know your every move. They do not need to be a computer programmer or have special skills to monitor your computer activities - anyone can do it and there are many different ways.

Computers can provide a lot of information about you. For instance, sites you view on the Internet and the emails you send. It is not possible to delete or clear all computer "footprints" or history. Please be advised that e-mail is not a secure or confidential form of communication. For safety and confidentiality, please use a non-cellular or non-cordless phone to contact Russell House, or any of its' affiliates.

Victim's Rights

Abuse is never your fault. You are not the cause of your abuser's behavior. You have the right...

Not to be abused.
To leave.
To ask for help.
To make life choices and changes.
To be safe.
To leave.
