“…Specific familial stressors linked to chronic neglect include extreme poverty, persistent substance abuse and mental health issues, developmental disabilities of children or parents, larger families with more children and lack of social support (Nelson et al, 1993;Wilson & Horner, 2005). Children who experience neglect are more likely to experience recurring maltreatment compared to children that only experience physical or sexual abuse (Jonson-Reid, Drake, Chung, & Way, 2003;Loman, 2006). Additionally, one study found that family poverty was the strongest predictor of re-referral (Connell, Bergeron, Katz, Saunders, & Tebes, 2007).…”

“…Several studies have found that the type of initial maltreatment does not predict later types of maltreatment in subsequent reports for cases of chronic maltreatment (DePanfilis & Zuravin, 1999;Jonson-Reid et al, 2003;Loman, 2006). Additionally, Jonson-Reid, Emery, Drake, and Stahlschmidt (2010) found that the factors that predict increased risk of a second report of maltreatment may not be the same factors that predict subsequent reports.…”

“…Clearly, many of these factors are inherently likely to increase re-referral risk given the added stress placed on the family unit through such circumstances, and the previously documented relationship between family stress and child protection re-referral risk (DePanfilis & Zuravin, 2002). Previous studies have identified relationships between re-referral in mainstream child protection cases and alleged perpetrators of intrafamilial origin (Fuller et al, 2001), disability status of children (Fluke et al, 1999), financial stress of families (Jonson-Reid et al, 2003), history of violence towards partners (DePanfilis & Zuravin, 2002), and mother's abuse as a child (Casanueva et al, 2009), which are findings supported by the current study. Parental intellectual disability has not previously been reported to predict re-referral risk, however the current study indicates that parental disability significantly increases child protection re-referral risk in complex cases.…”

ObjectiveThe study reviewed a 25-year dataset of child abuse and neglect concerns, examining child and family factors associated with re-referral. MethodsSuspected child abuse and neglect data collated from a variety of sources including child protection, health, police and education by a multidisciplinary Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect team for the 25-year period of 1980 to 2005 was entered for analysis. Case referral criteria for the team included clinician perception of the case as being complex and necessitating multidisciplinary case planning. The dataset contained 6669 cases of child abuse and neglect concerns, relating to 5943 unique children. ResultsThe majority of children (90.5%) experienced only one referral to the team, with the remaining experiencing between 2-6 referrals. Through the utilisation of regression analysis, the factors of number of abuse types present at the initial concern, parental abuse as a child, parental intellectual disability, parental history of violence, perpetrator of intrafamilial origin, disabled children in family, and financial stress in family were found to significantly predict complex case re-referral respectively. ConclusionsChildren within this Australian sample of complex cases experienced rates of re-referral similar to those reported internationally. Family and child factors identified as predictors of re-referral in this 25-year dataset support previous international studies on statutory child protection re-referral, and evidence for the association between previously unstudied variables and re-referral likelihood for complex cases.

Child and Adult Outcomes of Chronic Child Maltreatment

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: We lack prospective studies documenting "dosage effects" of chronic child maltreatment for both subsequent adolescent and adult outcomes. It is unknown whether effects are linear, shelving, or exponential, and we lack data across domains of outcomes.WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Chronic child maltreatment reports are a robust indicator of future negative health and behavioral outcomes. There is a dose-response relationship between chronicity and outcomes in adolescence, but this is attenuated in adulthood once adverse child outcomes are controlled. abstract OBJECTIVE: To describe how child maltreatment chronicity is related to negative outcomes in later childhood and early adulthood. METHODS:The study included 5994 low-income children from St Louis, including 3521 with child maltreatment reports, who were followed from 1993-1994 through 2009. Children were 1.5 to 11 years of age at sampling. Data include administrative and treatment records indicating substance abuse, mental health treatment, brain injury, sexually transmitted disease, suicide attempts, and violent delinquency before age 18 and child maltreatment perpetration, mental health treatment, or substance abuse in adulthood. Multivariate analysis controlled for potential confounders. RESULTS:Child maltreatment chronicity predicted negative childhood outcomes in a linear fashion (eg, percentage with at least 1 negative outcome: no maltreatment = 29.7%, 1 report = 39.5%, 4 reports = 67.1%). Suicide attempts before age 18 showed the largest proportionate increase with repeated maltreatment (no report versus 4+ reports = +625%, P , .0001). The dose-response relationship was reduced once controls for other adverse child outcomes were added in multivariate models of child maltreatment perpetration and mental health issues. The relationship between adult substance abuse and maltreatment report history disappeared after controlling for adverse child outcomes. CONCLUSIONS:Child maltreatment chronicity as measured by official reports is a robust indicator of future negative outcomes across a range of systems, but this relationship may desist for certain adult outcomes once childhood adverse events are controlled. Although primary and secondary prevention remain important approaches, this study suggests that enhanced tertiary prevention may pay high dividends across a range of medical and behavioral domains.
