Mother of Murdered Teen Campaigns for Changes in Domestic Abuse Laws

Micala Trussler, mother of 15-year-old Holly Newton, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, is advocating for legal reforms in domestic abuse laws following a troubling survey revealing that nearly half of teenagers experience violence or controlling behavior in relationships. The survey highlights a concerning prevalence of coercive control, with significant numbers of teens reporting physical and sexual violence. Trussler fears for others if support systems remain inadequate, while government officials emphasize the importance of education in preventing relationship abuse among youth.
