After singer Chris Brown was charged in February with assaulting Rihanna in a high profile case of domestic violence, a survey showed that 46% of Boston teens at least partly blamed Rihanna.  And with one in three teens saying they know a friend or peer who has been assaulted by someone they’re dating, we can see clearly where the roots of domestic violence begin.

That’s why CTP is proud to be working with Middlesex (MA) District Attorney Gerry Leone’s office on a creative initiative to counter this threat.  High school students from across the county produced public service announcements (PSA) aimed at drawing attention to this very real issue, and their peers will vote on the best spot. CTP will then professionally edit and produce the winning PSA before it’s aired on Boston TV.

UPDATE: There is a story on this initiative in today’s Boston Globe.
