How tracking devices are used in domestic violence | A place of healing at Still Rise Farms

Bridging Philly

Domestic abusers want to have control over their victims, and often, that involves knowing where they are at all times. Tracking devices have made that easier, and devices that look like a phone charger or a child’s toy are readily available. Amanda L. Murray, Center for Hope & Safety's Domestic Violence Liaison to New Jersey’s Division of Child Protection and Permanency, joins host Racquel Williams to discuss what to do if you think you or someone you love is being tracked.

If you need help with a domestic violence situation that involves technology, you can find resources at techsafety.org, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800.799.SAFE (7233), or text “START” to 88788.

Then, on Shara in the City, we visit Still Rise Farms, a retreat center started by a breast cancer surgeon to encourage healing and holistic well-being. Shara Dae Howard spends the day there fishing and learning with Camp Jill Scott.
