Eighty-two per cent of all cases of abuse or neglect of an adult with mental retardation substantiated by the Abuse Investigation Division of the Connecticut Office of Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities over a five-year period occurred in ..the victim's residence.

In addition to the acknowledged threats of war, poverty, homelessness, and violence, is the recognition that children are encountering danger from the one area that has traditionally provided their strongest support--the family (Hollander, 1992). Headlines provide frightening examples of murder and abduction, as well as physical and sexual abuse, most often perpetrated by a family member (Goldman, 1993). Alarming stories of abuse in day care settings have made national headlines, but the statistics indicate that children are far safer from incidents of abuse in day care settings than in their own homes (Finkelhor
