The death of Temple student Milan Jones drew attention to the fact that a large number of college-age people endure intimate partner violence.

“People need to know domestic violence is more common than they realize,” said Scott Sprunger, community engagement specialist at Lutheran Settlement House.

“I had the pleasure to teach Milan in 7th & 8th grade at Presentation BVM School. She was such a beautiful young woman — inside & out,” added Kimberly Packard Szypula. “We need to model relationships better for young people. When you’re dating, you need to set the rules of engagement. What should a disagreement look like?” added Chad Lassiter, executive director ofMackey said anyone who needs help, or if supporters want to know how to assist, can call the 24-hour Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline , which will provide crisis intervention, safety planning, resources, and referrals.
