Violence Ages Children's DNA

USA Today reports that a new study suggests that exposure to violence - domestic violence, experiencing child abuse, or bullying - can alter the DNA of children exposed, resulting in increased risk of diseases associated with aging, seven to 10 years earlier than children who do not have that type of exposure.  You can find the article at http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/story/2012-04-24/violence-cellular-mark/54493338/1.
