“…Studies have shown that youths exposed to multiple maltreatment experiences are at risk of repeated referrals to protective services (Bae, Solomon, & Gelles, 2007). Physical abuse perpetrated in the family has characteristics in common with other types of maltreatment, such as low income levels, single-parent households, low parental educational attainment, domestic violence, and parental substance use or mental health problems (Gilbert et al, 2009), which increase the risk of repeated maltreatment.…”

“…Children first reported for physical or sexual abuse were some-what less likely to receive a second report; but once children had at least two reports, there was little relationship between the type of report and subsequent risk. Although there is a substantial literature seeking to understand the etiology for various types of maltreatment (Bae, et al, 2007), this may not be useful for understanding trajectories of chronically re-reported families. The type of maltreatment that is the subject of an initial allegation often changes over time (Jonson-Reid et al, 2003).…”

Although a strong literature on child maltreatment re-reporting exists, much of that literature stops at the first re-report. The literature on chronic re-reporting, meaning reports beyond the second report, is scant. The authors follow Loman’s lead in focusing on reports beyond the first two to determine what factors predict these “downstream” report stages. Cross-sector, longitudinal administrative data are used. The authors analyze predictors at each of the first four recurrences (first to second report, second to third report, third to fourth report, and fourth to fifth report). Findings demonstrate that some factors (e.g., tract poverty) which predict initial recurrence lose their predictive value at later stages, whereas others (e.g., aid to families with dependent children history) remain predictive across stages. In-home child welfare services and mental health treatment emerged as consistent predictors of reduced recurrence.

“…The relationship of risk factors to recurrence can be complex. For example, recent work has shown that risk factors may vary by type of maltreatment, with family-level factors having a larger effect on recurrence in sexual abuse cases, and CPS system factors having a greater effect in neglect and abuse cases (Bae, Solomon, & Gelles, 2007). We will divide our discussion of risk factors into sections on non-modifiable and modifiable factors.…”

This study seeks to advance our understanding of how modifiable and non-modifiable factors may impact the likelihood of re-entry into foster care. Children who entered foster care for the first time following at least one report of maltreatment and were then reunified were followed from exit to re-entry, age 18 or the end of the study period using longitudinal administrative data. Risk of re-entry was explored according to a range of modifiable and non-modifiable case and service characteristics. Children removed from homes with parents who had multiple risk factors (e.g., no high school diploma, mental health diagnosis, criminal record, or teen parents) or were receiving AFDC prior to entry were more likely to re-enter. The receipt of in-home child welfare services during or after foster care was associated with reduced risk of re-entry. Having the longest placement with a relative was associated with decreased risk of re-entry. In conclusion, both modifiable and non-modifiable factors are associated with re-entry into foster care. Among modifiable factors, services appear to have a particularly strong relationship to re-entry. Our data also suggest that in-home child welfare services provided during and after foster care may be associated with improved long-term permanency after return home. Given the continued import of caregiver risk factors even among reunified families, services provided to support reunification should include attention to caregiver needs outside parenting.
