A central idea in Search for Safety is that...

older people have little understanding of young people

stepfathers usually don't know how to discipline their stepchildren

in cases of domestic violence, it's best to confront abusers one-on-one

victims of domestic violence have to know when to ask for help

feels that Ben is too critical of his stepfather, Larry

that he knows Ben is being abused at home
