The mother of murder victim Maple Batalia is attending a conference in Surrey dealing with domestic violence involving teenagers.
As the conference seeks solutions to getting awareness of teen abuse, Sarabjit Btalia, Maple's mom, says even if parents think their child can handle situations like relationship violence, they often can't.
"She was brilliant, obedient, hard-working--everything--but I think I had to help her to handle this situation. I think she can handle it. And she think she can handle it....but she had a mistake and I had a mistake too"
This is the third annual gathering of the Surrey Coalition against domestic abuse.
