CHILDRENSeeCHILDRENDo 'exists' to spark reflection and action.ย  Kids notice everything โ€” and VIOLENCE is never invisible. If they see or hear it, the impact lasts a LIFETIME:

  • ๐Ÿ˜” Anxiety, depression, PTSD, even heart disease.
  • ๐Ÿ“‰ Falling behind at school (40% lower reading levels).
  • ๐Ÿง  Brain scans show trauma like combat soldiers.

๐ŸŒ Mission โ€” The Cycle That Must Be Broken

๐Ÿ‘‰Our mission is to prevent child trauma and PTSD by breaking this cycle before it begins.
We aim to end intergenerational violence by reminding adults that kids copy exactly what they see โ€”silence or shame:
    • Some grow up fast
    • Some copy aggression
    • Others retreat into fear

So through creativity, storytelling, and simple resources, we try reaching out to families anywhere โ€” schools, halls, and family homes. This initiative aligns with the UN 's goal of ending violence against children by 2030 โ€” but we are not prisoners of time.

๐Ÿ’กWhy Prevention & Support Matters

When violence is hidden, children face:

            • ๐ŸŸข Isolation and low self -esteem
            • ๐ŸŸข Withdrawal and confusion
            • ๐ŸŸข Pressure to take sides
            • ๐ŸŸข Threats and intimidation

         

        For Indigenous, migrant, and isolated families, who may not openly discuss these issues, this project is often a discreet lifeline.

Founder's 5-YEAR MILESTONE with NAPCAN'S POWERFUL VIDEO

KINGBOROUGH CHRONICLE

Faezeh's website milestone โ€“ Sept 2025

Faezeh Parkes with her nearly 100-year-old mother Nosrat during their Wednesday WhatsApp family call, connecting with children and grandchildren worldwide.

Faezeh Parkes, currently based in Melbourne but regularly returning to Kingston Beach where her nearly 100-year-old mother lives, celebrated the five-year anniversary of her website - childrenseechildrendo.org this month.

At the age of 74, Faezeh marked the milestone by updating her website, despite having no technical expertise. The website, originally launched in September 2019, is a grassroots awareness project dedicated to breaking the cycle of violence by showing the lifelong impact on children.

Faezeh has updated the website to be more child-friendly, shifting focus from the mechanics of domestic violence to the urgent reality that children mimic what they see and hear.

The site features a video from the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) and chapters from Faezeh's book, Bananas: My Funny Chaotic Life.

Faezeh attributes the creation of her website to her family's legacy of service and sacrifice. Her father, Dr Taeed, a psychiatrist, and her mother, Nosrat, left Dominica in the West Indies to support her during a domestic violence crisis.

"This Father's Day, I wanted to honour my father and mother by carrying forward their sacrifice," Faezeh said. "My father gave up his career as a doctor aged 63, so I could protect my children."

"I now want families to understand what I wish I had known - that cycles of violence repeat unless we break them, and children absorb every word, every silence, every act."

Faezeh said the website has become a "quiet but steady resource" over the past five years. โ€œI have had parents and grandparents reach out to me to say that simply seeing the NAPCAN video or reading the early chapters of my book made them realise they were not alone," she said. โ€œOne mother told me she sat with her children to watch the video, and it opened up the first honest conversation they had ever had about what goes on at home."

"I think the children's voices featured on the site - such as 'I'm the piggy in the middle ... call the police to help us!' - have struck a chord. People have said these short messages gave them the courage to reflect on how violence sounds and feels from a child's perspective."

"The website has also been used informally in schools and by community groups as a conversation starter."
