Katie Couric On Rihanna & Chris Brown: "Talk To Your Children"

Katie Couric has weighed in on the Rihanna/Chris Brown scandal, using her video notebook to encourage parents to speak to their children about dating violence.

"While it's unfortunate that this personal drama is unfolding publicly, the incident is shining a spotlight on teen dating violence," she says, citing statistics that 20% of teens experience physical or sexual assault at the hands of their partner.

"There's an opportunity for a real conversation here," she continued. "Talk to your children. Listen to how they feel about what happened and Rihanna's decision to reconcile with Chris Brown. Ask them why they believe Brown's record sales haven't been affected. But most of all, remind them that love isn't supposed to hurt ... except when someone breaks your heart."
