DoSomething.org has created a Teen Dating Abuse Public Service Announcement (PSA) that recreates the alleged Rhianna/Chris Brown pre-Grammy Award incident that made national headlines. The nearly two-minute video features a somber voiceover narrator reading the police transcript of a report on the incident as a pair of young actors play out the scenario that police claim took place on February 8, in which Brown is alleged to have beaten and bitten his girlfriend during an argument inside his rented car. While the clip does not portray the bloodied, bruised aftermath of the alleged fight — and distances itself from Brown and Rihanna by using white actors — it paints a grim picture of dating violence.
From the website: "1 in 3 teens is abused in a relationship - whether physically, emotionally or mentally. It doesn't always look like this, and it happens every day."
