Pour les enseignants

In Nova Scotia, there is no formal legislation on teen dating violence. Instead, rights and responsibilities relating to this topic can be found in the Loi sur l’éducation, le Loi sur les services à l'enfance et à la famille, et Domestic Violence Intervention Act.

Dans tout le Canada, la seule protection ciblée et uniforme contre la violence liée aux rencontres avec des adolescents est prévue par la Code pénal et Loi sur la justice pénale pour les jeunes. Since these are federal legislations, they can be applied to Nova Scotia.

Teachers must report this situation to their regional Child Welfare office. Teachers who fail to report can be fined a maximum of $5,000 and/or receive a maximum of one year in prison.

When Your Child Has Been Victimized by Youth Dating Violence in Nova Scotia2024-06-18T21:04:55-06:00

Ordonnance de protection d’urgence

Nova Scotia’s Domestic Violence Intervention Act does not explicitly offer protections for youth dating violence. However, under this Act, individuals who have suffered from domestic violence can apply to a justice of the peace for an emergency protection order. Peace officers, victim service workers employed by the Nova Scotia Department of Justice, the police or the RCMP, and designated employees of a transition house that is a member of the Transition House Association of Nova Scotia may also report on behalf of a victim of domestic violence.

This act defines a victim of domestic violence as a person who is at least 16 years old that has experienced violence by another person with whom they live/have lived in a conjugal relationship, or is the parent of one or more children of the victim. Domestic violence can include physical and sexual abuse, threats, stalking and repeated communication that causes the victim to fear for their safety or property.

Emergency protection orders are available 24/7, are issued by a designated justice of the peace, and remain in effect for up to 30 days, based on the justice’s direction. An emergency protection order can order the abuser to stay away from any place identified in the order, not to contact the victim or another person, and not to commit any more violence against the victim, among other things.

Where an emergency protection order is not an available remedy, a parent on behalf of their child can apply for a peace bond to prevent further youth dating violence.

Obligations de paix

Un mandat de paix est une ordonnance émanant d’un tribunal pénal qui oblige une personne à maintenir l’ordre et à se comporter correctement pendant une période de temps. Conformément à la Code pénal, Toute personne (y compris un mineur) peut demander une injonction de justice pour la paix si elle a des motifs raisonnables de craindre que quelqu'un d'autre ne lui inflige des blessures personnelles ou qu'il publie, distribue, transmette, vende ou rende accessible, sans son consentement, une image intime d'une personne.

Le Loi sur la justice pénale pour les jeunes, confère aux juges de paix le pouvoir de rendre des ordonnances en vertu de la Code pénal regarding a young person. Therefore, it is not necessary to seek a peace bond from a criminal court when you are a minor. A Justice of the Peace or the court can ask the accused person to enter into a “recognizance”, which means that the accused would have to sign an order the promises that they will keep the peace and be of good behaviour for up to 12 months.
