2013, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :Most children were not able to recognize that the sexual perpetrator included someone they trusted or liked (e.g., babysitter) in this study. Since most abusers are known to the victim and often to the family (Cupoli & Sewell, 1988; Elliott, Browne, & Kilcoyne, 1995; Tang, 2002), it is important for children to learn (in sexual abuse prevention programs) that someone they are familiar with can be a potential perpetrator. Furthermore, very few (16%) Chinese preschoolers knew that children should report the abusive incident even if the perpetrator tells them to keep it a secret, similar to other Chinese research with elementary school children (Chen, 2012; Chen, Du, et al., 2012), but much lower than western research with young children (about 40% in Wurtele & Owens, 1997; 54% in Kenny, 2010).
Child abuse in the eyes of the beholder: Lay perceptions of child sexual and physical abuse
2007, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :Because sexual abuse of females is considerably more common in the United States than sexual abuse of males (though overall, maltreatment of boys and girls is roughly evenly split; DHHS, 2006), we also predicted that it would be judged more likely to occur and to reoccur. Just as the literature emphasizes female victims, greater attention is paid to male perpetrators of sexual abuse, who appear to be more common (Cupoli & Sewell, 1988), than to female perpetrators (Lewis & Stanley, 2000). In contrast, overall abuse is perpetrated as much or more by mothers (40.8%) than by fathers (18.8%; McDonald, 2005).
