“…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.

“…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.

“…Associations in adulthood have been shown with a range of psychosocial, behavioural and mental health outcomes (Bair‐Merritt, Blackstone, & Feudtner, ; Black, Sussman, & Unger, ; Choi, Jeong, Polcari, Rohan, & Teicher, ; Fergusson, Horwood, & Ridder, ; Mezey, Bacchus, Bewley, & White, ). Children living in environments where there is DV are also at much higher risk of direct maltreatment including: physical abuse, sexual abuse and neglect (Hamby, Finkelhor, Turner, & Ormrod, ; Krug, Dahlberg, Mercy, Zwi, & Lozano, ; Patwardhan, Duppong Hurley, Thompson, Mason, & Ringle, ; Radford, Corral, Bradley, & Fisher, ).…”

Estimates suggest that 15% of children in the United Kingdom have been exposed to at least one form of domestic violence (DV) during their childhood, with more than 3% having witnessed an incident during the past year. This exposure increases the risk of children suffering both short-term and long-term impacts, including effects on their behaviour, social development, physical and mental health, educational attainment and quality of life. In addition, children living in environments where there is DV are at higher risk of maltreatment. Adult relatives and friends of the family often observe the experiences of children in situations of DV, and have the potential to shed light in a way that children and survivors may struggle to articulate, or be reluctant to acknowledge or disclose. Such accounts are largely absent from existing research, and yet bring a perspective which can broaden our understanding of the impact that DV has on children. This paper reports a secondary analysis of qualitative data collected during 21 in-depth interviews with people across the United Kingdom who were a friend or family member of a woman experiencing DV. An inductive thematic analysis was undertaken and the themes generated were as follows: 'the context of DV: a chaotic and unpredictable home life'; 'the roles children assume within households where there is DV including: witness of, victim of and conduit of violence and abuse',; 'the impacts of DV on children'; and 'children's coping and resilience'. The implications of these findings are discussed using a basic needs model lens.
