Dear Members of the Hawaii County Council:
On behalf of the Hawaii County Committee on the Status of Women (HCCSW),
enclosed is information on the national Teen Dating Violence Prevention Initiative
(TDVPI). We are requesting $15,000 in funding for the Teen Dating Violence
Prevention training in Hilo and Kona.
This is a project of the American Bar Association, Steering Committee on the
Unmet Legal Needs of Children, of which I am a member (appointed by Dennis
Archer, former mayor of Detroit, Michigan, and ABA President in 2003-2004).
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services funded the National TDVPI
Summit on November 13-14, 2004. All of the states that received support of the
project from its governor were invited to attend. A copy of the National Summit
Agenda is enclosed in this packet.
The HCCSW request for funding includes a panel of speakers with national
prominence. One of the speakers we want to invite to our training is Rae
Spence, who was on ABC's 20/20 program on April 1, 2005. This particular
program was not aired in Hawaii due to the telecast of the Merrie Monarch
Festival hula competition. Ms. Spence is a victim of teen dating violence from
Austin, Texas. She was repeatedly victimized by her boyfriend. Rae moved to
another school to escape him after breaking up with him. The next girl he dated
was Rae's friend, but she wasn't able to escape the relationship in time to save
her own life.
With funding of $15,000.00, the training will allow 199 people to participate.
Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions,
please contact Margaret Masunaga at 328-2521 or mkmasunagaCa~aol.com or
Carol Kitaoka at 324-1016 or kriskel _hgea.org.
Sincerely,

The ABA Steering Committee on the Unmet Legal Needs of
Children
The American Bar Association (ABA) Steering Committee on the Unmet Legal Needs of Children, and the Center on
Children and the Law, develop policy, publications, projects and trainings addressing the many components associated
with interpersonal violence and prevention strategies. Among those issues are: child abuse, sexual exploitation, date
rape, bullying, juvenile justice, dating violence, domestic and family violence, the effects of domestic violence on
children, and the necessity for appropriate legal training. Atwenty-five year compilation of all three entities' legal
expertise and research in those areas demonstrates their ability to lead this nationwide effort under the auspices of the
largest legal organization in the world -The American Bar Association.

"Thank you for asking me to attend and participate in the conference. I am glad that we are
finally making headway in addressing dating violence, parttcularly teen dating violence. I am
excited to see the changes in the next couple of
years.
Just as 25 years ago with the overall issue of domestic violence, only with the support of
organizations such as the ABA can we hope to change the ways society views dating violence
and make changes in how we respond. Only with there changer can we not only hope to help
those victims.from being subjected (u physical and psychological abuse, but also the "other
secondary victims of domestic/dating violence.

`Yn my frank opinion, the substance and content of this Summit was of such high caliber that
everyone to the entire Nation should be exposed to its content and the views and perspectives of
the youth who attended and what they think must be done to curtail and prevent teen age dating
violence and sex offenses, especially whin we view this conduct as the precursors to domestic
violence by adults in our adult criminal courts. "

Dear Ms. Murphy:
On behalf of the International Union of Police Associations, AFL-CIO, (IITPA) I am
proud to add our came to the many concerned associations, corporations and groups that suppon
the American Bar Association's Teen Dating Violence Prevention Initiative. We represent more
than 110,Op0 active duty rank and file law enforcement officers across the country, in Puerto
Ricxl and the Virgin Islands. We are politically active at the National level in legislation,
impacting the safety, as well as wages, hours and working conditions of our narion's police
officers. Occasionally a program, although somewhat removed from these goals, strikes such a
cord that we consent to participate. Such is the case with the Teen Dating Violence Prevention
Initiative.
While law enforcement officers have oRen been at odds with your members, the
presentation made by you on behalf of this program, convinced me that IUPA should become
involved. We believe that we can play an important role commensurate with our area of
expertise and contacts. We look forwazd to working with you and seeing this critical program
move forward.
Please feel free to call on us as needed and to use our name in any manner appropriate to
the goals of the initiative.
Respectfully,
Sam A. Cabral

Lieutenant Bruce Wheatley
Throughout his years on the police force, Lieutenant
Wheatley was often the officer called to investigate a
violent incident involving teenagers. As is [he case for
many other ofFcers of the law in communities across the
[Jnited States, it wasn't unconmton for the Lieutenant to
he personally affected by the scene. But Lieutenant
Wheatley wasn't expecting the life-altering jolt he'd
sustain when his own daughter became a victim of teen
dating violence.
? A Schoo/ & Clinical Psycho/ogist's Story:
Dr. Mary Halpin
Other than the victim and abuser, a psychologist or school
counselor may be the only person who knows the
comp1ele story of abuse... how it started, how it escalated,
and how hard it was to get away. Although trained as
"mental health professionals," these disturbing stories still
have a profound impact on a persona] level. Nonetheless,
for many professionals, they consider it an honor to work
with such courageous young women, as they reclaim their
sense of self-c~rnpowennent and dignity.
? An Attorney's Story:
Attorney General Robert J Spagttolettt, Chief of
the Sez Offense and Domestic Violence Section
of the Office of the United States Attorney for
the District of Columbia
Atlomeys and prosecutors aren't immune to feelings of
regret when a young persons life or freedom is cut short
by teen dating violence. As well, through their work,
legal professionals witness the pain of families and
friends when faced with losing someone they love
because a relationship lamed to violence.

Safety measures arc discussed in the event a relationship
