The statement is incorrect because it misdefines dating violence and its relationship to protective orders. Dating violence typically refers to patterns of abusive behavior in a dating relationship, which may include physical, emotional, or psychological harm. It generally involves individuals who are, or were, romantically involved, regardless of whether they share children.

In the context of protective orders, these legal documents are often sought in situations where violence or threat of violence has occurred, but the definition of dating violence is broader and is not confined to individuals who have children together. Therefore, stating that dating violence pertains specifically to those who have or have had children does not accurately reflect the true nature of what defines dating violence.
