“…Importantly, no one area of risk will negatively impact social adjustment as much as an increase in the number of risk factors experienced. Patwardhan, Hurley, Thompson, Mason, and Ringle (2017) reported cumulative risk is associated with child maltreatment for families receiving family preservation services. Moreover, Solomon, Asberg, Peer, and Prince (2016) found an association between cumulative risk and recidivism of parents with substantiated child maltreatment.…”

Child abuse potential refers to characteristics and practices closely linked to child abuse. Past investigations document that the number of risk factors parents experience is a correlate of child abuse potential. The purpose of this investigation was to test a model with multiple domains of risk including cumulative socio-contextual risk, parenting locus of control, children's externalizing behaviour problems, social support, and child abuse potential. Using self-report data from 87 mothers of children between the ages of 1 and 5 years old, bivariate correlations and linear regression analyses revealed that cumulative socio-contextual risk was positively associated with child abuse potential and that this association remained statistically significant when controlling for parenting locus of control and child externalizing behaviour problems. Additionally, social support moderated the association between cumulative risk and child abuse potential.

“…The etiology of maltreatment is complex, and a single causal pathway to maltreatment does not seem plausible. Rather, multiple risk and protective factors have been identified (Patwardhan, Hurley, Thompson, Mason, & Ringle, 2017). Heritable as well as environmental factors may contribute to maltreatment risk.…”

Estimating the Heritability of Experiencing Child Maltreatment in an Extended Family Design

Child-driven genetic factors can contribute to negative parenting and may increase the risk of being maltreated. Experiencing childhood maltreatment may be partly heritable, but results of twin studies are mixed. In the current study, we used a cross-sectional extended family design to estimate genetic and environmental effects on experiencing child maltreatment. The sample consisted of 395 individuals (225 women; M age = 38.85 years, rangeage = 7–88 years) from 63 families with two or three participating generations. Participants were oversampled for experienced maltreatment. Self-reported experienced child maltreatment was measured using a questionnaire assessing physical and emotional abuse, and physical and emotional neglect. All maltreatment phenotypes were partly heritable with percentages for h 2 ranging from 30% ( SE = 13%) for neglect to 62% ( SE = 19%) for severe physical abuse. Common environmental effects ( c 2) explained a statistically significant proportion of variance for all phenotypes except for the experience of severe physical abuse ( c 2 = 9%, SE = 13%, p = .26). The genetic correlation between abuse and neglect was ρg = .73 ( p = .02). Common environmental variance increased as socioeconomic status (SES) decreased ( p = .05), but additive genetic and unique environmental variances were constant across different levels of SES.

“…6 Studies in other countries have found socio-economic marginalization, poor family interactions, parental dysfunction, and neighbourhood violence to be the most predictive risk factors for childhood maltreatment. 7 This study focus on knowledge of various forms of child abuse amongst parents and tries to focus on knowledge of parents regarding personal and social life of their child.…”

Background: Child abuse is one of the problems in our society which still needs to be highlighted for general public in our country. It is a pressing human right issue and public health concern and the efforts to assess the awareness and mass education is very limited. Current study aimed to access knowledge and attitude for child abuse among parents attending a tertiary care hospital.Methods: The study was conducted amongst parents visiting pediatric OPD at Kempegowda institute of medical sciences, Bengaluru. Total 200 Parents were required to answer a series of questionnaire and then was statically analyzed.Results: It was seen that majority of parents lack knowledge regarding child abuse, 25% of parents believe that child abuse is just sexual violence, 23% parents thought that stubborn children can only be handled by physical punishment, 46% parents believed that only a girl child can be a victim of sexual abuse and only 19% had firm belief that boys can also be victim, 45% of parents believed that it is necessary to discuss with the child before making important decision concerning them, 35% parents were against the corporal punishment.Conclusions: There is a need to evolve strategies to protect the children from abuse and the measures should address both boys and girls and minimize impact.
