To make sure the storyline is accurate and character profiles are as true to life as possible we looked at the official NSPCC report done in 2009 about domestic violence.
The idea of having the child as main focus of the film came these statistics and a quote in a report that said '...police officers rarely engage with children in domestic violence incidents'

The Perpetrator
(The Father)
Although it is most common for the perpetrator to be unemployed we decide that the father to have a skilled occupation as we wanted the family to have a source of income. He will also be 21 - 30.
