New bill to protect teens from dating violence
Gov Ted Strickland signed a bill that would allow teenagers to protect themselves from domestic violence.
The bill will allow a teenager whose boyfriend or girlfriend is harming them to obtain a restraining order in juvenile court.
Before this bill, a restraining order was only available to protect adults.
The bill derives from the cases of two teen-agers who were killed by boyfriends, including a Cleveland teen who was shot in the face by her ex-boyfriend. She had wanted to get a protection order, but could not, according to the Associated Press.
