“…Therefore, empirical studies considered in this review specifically focus on, or include a sample within the age range of [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Studies that report on the risk factors for other measures, such as parent assault/abuse by adult children or youth aggression in general were excluded from this review.…”

This article provides an ecological framework for understanding adolescent-initiated parent abuse. We review research on adolescent-initiated parent abuse, identifying sociodemographic characteristics of perpetrators and victims (e.g., gender, age, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status [SES]). Bronfenbrenner's [1] ecological systems theory is applied, which examines the risk and protective factors for adolescent-initiated parent abuse within micro- (maltreatment, domestic violence, parenting behavior and disciplinary strategies), meso- (peer influence), exo- (media influence), macro- (gender role socialization), and chronosystem (change in family structure) levels. Findings from our review suggest that older and White children are significantly more likely to abuse their parents. Females are selective in the target of their aggression, while males target family members in general. Mothers are significantly more likely to be abused than fathers. However, researchers also report variations in the association between SES and parent abuse. Domestic violence and child maltreatment are risk factors, while findings on parenting behavior and disciplinary strategies are mixed. Peer influence, exposure to media violence, gender role socialization, and change in family structure can potentially increase the risk of parent abuse. Practice and research implications are also discussed. An ecological systems framework allows for an examination of how various contexts interact and influence parent abuse behavior, and can provide needed directions for further research.

“…Although a number of studies have been conducted on family aggression, family aggression perpetrated by adolescents may still be underestimated due to the concealed nature of such acts (Gebo, 2007). In some cases, parents may feel ashamed to report that they were victimized by their children or might mistake sibling aggression as normal sibling rivalry.…”

“…In the past, sibling aggression was not recognized by the criminal justice system, because it was considered a part of the typical growing-up process (Eriksen & Jensen, 2006). The court also tends to be more lenient toward family aggression offenders, particularly when they are children, compared to a non-family member who has committed similar crimes (Dawson, 2004;Gebo, 2007). In the UK, adolescent-to-parent aggression is not considered domestic violence if the perpetrator is under the age of 16 years.…”

They were more likely to use a weapon (audit 1 = 69%; audit 2 = 65.5%) compared to the clinical sample (audit 1 and 2 = 0%). Examining only the aggressive groups, there was more perpetration of aggression toward parents (audit 1, forensic = 92%, clinical = 75%; audit 2, forensic = 55.17%, clinical = 40%) than toward siblings (audit 1, forensic = 43%, clinical = 50%; audit 2, forensic = 27.58%, clinical = 30%). Based on these findings, we would urge 2 professionals who work within the child mental health, particularly the forensic area, to systematically collect reports of aggression perpetrated toward family members.

“…Algunos de estos factores son pertenecer a familias monoparentales (Cottrell, 2001;Ibabe, Jaureguizar, & Díaz, 2007), estar expuesto a la violencia (Brezina, 1999;Calvete, Orue, & Sampedro, 2011), el consumo de sustancias (Calvete et al, 2011;Cottrell & Monk, 2004), el fracaso escolar (Asociación Altea-España, 2008;Gebo, 2007) y la patología mental, especialmente trastornos de conducta (Ibabe, Jaureguizar, & Díaz, 2007;Ortega, García, & de la Fuente, 2009).
