“It\u2019s time every adult behaved like somebody children should look up to” … that was the message Cherbourg police constable Amy Dalton and police liaison officer Leah Hunter gave at the Cherbourg State School\u2019s march against domestic violence (Photo: Marcus Priaulx)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cherbourg State School children have done their bit to help stamp domestic violence out by marching around the town to spread the message that domestic violence isn’t ok … “Not Now, Not Ever”.<\/p>\n

Police and domestic violence survivors came to the school to talk to the children earlier this month.<\/p>\n

They learned it was okay to talk to police or other adults if they saw people hurting each other because domestic violence is a bad, sad, horrible thing that makes children feel scared and unsafe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re saying ‘no more violence’ because we want a happy community, happy people, happy children and lots of smiles,\u201d domestic violence survivor Toni Jeavons said.<\/p>\n

She suffered at the hands of a stepfather and then a husband before she walked out: \u201cI was a brave, smart, beautiful woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toni then joined the Queensland Police Service, counselled domestic violence victims and is the author of a book called, \u201cWise Grasshopper\u201d.<\/p>\n

Cherbourg police constable Amy Dalton said 34 people had been killed by their partners in Australia so far this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hands were given to us not to assault a loved one but to protect them, to love them and to care for them,\u201d Amy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a sign of weakness when you commit an act of domestic violence.\u00a0 It\u2019s a sign of strength, of power, when you walk away, when you say \u2018no\u2019 to domestic violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The children, teachers, Cherbourg and South Burnett community members then walked around the town, led by teacher Frank Malone who beat a drum to get people\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
