“…In this study, 74.1% of the parent-victims were the fathers; and fathers were more likely to be the victim among the 15 and 16 year olds (80.0% and 88.9% respectively) as well as among the female adolescents (80.0%). Contrary to our findings, many studies indicate that mothers are disproportionately the tar-get of violence from both their adolescent sons and daughters (Paterson et al, 2013;Seijo et al, 2020), with percentages as high as 72%-97% and with ratio estimates as high as 8:2 mother versus father, despite showing great variance across samples (O'Hara et al, 2017;McCloud, 2017;Ibabe, 2019). A nation-wide study in Turkey shows that 10.6% of the adolescents indicated their mothers as the most conflicted person in the family in comparison with their fathers (6.7%); and that females were more in conflict with their mothers while males were in conflict with their fathers.…”

“…Higher rates of APV is associated with an increase in age, size and strength of the adolescent (Harbin and Madden, 1979). Yet, the onset and peak ages are shown to vary in different studies, ranging between 12 to 17 years old, and it was identified that APV by females increased with age, which peaks at 17 to 18 years old, but there was no association found between increasing age and males (McCloud, 2017). Studies in Canada and the Unites States suggest that adolescent violence begins at 12 to 14 years old, and the peak age is expected between 15 and 17 years (Howard, 2011).…”

This study aims to analyze how news about adolescent-to parent violence is reflected in the media. Certain phrases that define adolescent-to-parent violence were identified and searched on Google search engine. The news between 2018 and 2022 was scanned by applying the time filter. The news were evaluated in terms of the scope, the socio demographic correlations, and the causes of adolescent-to parent violence. Descriptive statistics was expressed as mean±standard deviation and median. Categorical parameters were represented with frequency and percentage values. The Chi-Square test were used for standard statistical analyses. A p value of <0.05 was considered ‘statistically significant’. Between 2018 and 2022, a total of 58 individual news were identified. It was found that the majority of adolescents were male while the majority of parent-victims were fathers, and that adolescents had a high rate of using firearms in cases of violence that were usually due to an altercation. Inconsistencies between different media sources regarding their coverage of the incidents, which would lead to violations of the rights of adolescents and parent-victims, have been determined. The study showed that although the causes of adolescent-to-parent violence differ, it is apparent that adolescents use violence commonly as a way of solving their problems. Since no studies specific to adolescent-to-parent violence conducted in Turkey could be found, it can be concluded that there is a need for studies that will provide healthy and accurate data on the dimension, frequency and variables of the problem. In addition, it is suggested that the media can play an important role in preventing the violence in general through accurate, complete, impartial and responsible reporting.

“…Measuring the frequency of a phenomenon which has often been considered 'hidden' is difficult [13,14]. Studies have found a higher incidence in community samples, with physical CPV instigated by 4-22% of young people, and verbal/psychological CPV at 33-93% [11,15]; compared with policing samples, whereby CPV accounts for around 1-6% of reported cases of family violence [16]. In all samples which differentiate between the two, there appear to be higher rates of psychological CPV than physical CPV [17,18].…”

“My [Search Strategies] Keep Missing You”: A Scoping Review to Map Child-to-Parent Violence in Childhood Aggression Literature

Child-to-parent violence is often referred to as one of the most ‘under-researched’ forms of family violence. However, it is closely associated with one of the most widely researched areas of research globally: childhood aggression. How child-instigated aggression can harm parents is widely referred to, but different framings, definitions, and conceptualisations are used which creates problems when attempting to identify the broader literature which may be relevant to child-to-parent violence researchers. Methods: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews, 55 papers were reviewed from EBSCO, PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science to explore how location, field of the researcher, and terminology can impact how researchers conceptualise and frame this form of harm. Results: Three themes were identified (1) child-to-parent violence is a behavioural indicator of childhood distress or developmental needs, (2) children are ‘perpetrators’ of deviant behaviour, and (3) the parents are ‘victims’ of child-to-parent violence. Conclusion: Children and parents are both harmed by child-to-parent violence. It is important that future researchers and practitioners recognise the bi-directionality of the parent-child relationship, and not be complicit in hiding the harms caused by child-to-parent violence by subsuming it under the broader childhood aggression literature.

“…Other research defines that behaviour is CAPVA if the family feels that it is CAPVA, supporting parents and families to define their own experiences, and so this could also include families in research who may not meet thresholds for services (Holt, 2016). In a UK‐based cross‐sectional community piece of research with 890 secondary school students (aged 11–18 years), 64.5% of students self‐reported that they were instigating CPV, with psychological harms more prevalent than physical harms (64.4% and 4.3% respectively [McCloud, 2017]). Whereas in a youth offending sample, Respect and Numbers for Good found the prevalence of CAPVA in caseloads were between 21 and 27%, and between 64 and 67% of police Domestic Abuse incidents where the suspect was under 18.…”

Responding to child and adolescent‐to‐parent violence and abuse from a distance: Remote delivery of interventions during Covid‐19

Working with families living with child and adolescent‐to‐parent violence raises a number of challenges which were compounded during the Covid‐19 pandemic. In this article, UK umbrella organisation ‘Respect’ is used as a case study to explore how 10 practitioners navigated social, emotional and safeguarding concerns that occurred when transitioning to remote working. Engagement with children and young people proved difficult, especially for those with special education needs and/or disabilities. However, parental engagement with services increased. Practitioners were quick to adapt to the changing landscape of remote working; continually adapting their practice to otherwise unforeseen safeguarding and/or practical challenges.
