Listen, don't make judgements. Thank them for coming to you, and tell them that they are brave. 
Ask them how they're feeling. Witnessing violence can bring on strong emotions. You can try looking at info online together, 
to help the conversation along. So, what can you tell your teenager if they want to help? First up, tell them
