Family violence that involves an assault charge is usually the product of deeper issues. For this reason, it is typically recommended that any instance of family violence should be reported. 

Some families may prefer to hide the details of family violence in order to avoid police involvement. However, this strategy could be dangerous in the long run. While the first or second instance of family violence may be minimal, escalated incidents could lead to serious injuries or damages.
