“I remember most of my family seeing it”
Child physical abuse is often perceived as a crime perpetrated within the family and out of sight. However, recent studies have indicated the presence of others during incidents of physical abuse. The current study was designed to examine the experiences and perceptions of children who were physically abused in their families concerning the presence of others, as conveyed during their forensic interviews. A thematic analysis of 26 forensic interv…
Children and Youth Witnessing In-Person Violence During War and Terrorism
In-person acts of violence, such as shooting, rape, and abduction, are unfortunately commonplace in the contexts of war and terrorism. Recent global incidents have underscored the pervasive and disturbing nature of this violence, which children and youth often witness directly, with potentially harmful effects. Despite its significance, this issue remains underexplored, often addressed tangentially or within broader topics, without a dedicated re…
I hugged her tightly and told her I’m sorry, we’re going to die”
The current findings shed light on the peritraumatic experiences and methods utilized by the abducted mothers to preserve their children's and their own survival and to mitigate suffering when death was imminent. As such, these findings uncover a new pattern of peritraumatic responses to extreme traumatic experiences. Additionally, they reveal how, during captivity, maternal roles protected the mothers' sense of subjectivity in a traumatic enviro…
Is Child Maltreatment Painful? An Exploration of Peritraumatic Pain in Child Maltreatment
Substantial findings point to the risk of chronic pain following child maltreatment (CM). However, a coherent explanation for the mechanisms underlying pain following CM is lacking. Although peritraumatic pain may encompass a significant role in these processes, a systematic quantification of peritraumatic pain in CM has never been conducted. This study was conducted to provide an initial exploration of peritraumatic pain characteristics in CM, a…
Can Parental Love and Harm Coexist? The Perceptions of Child Protective Social Workers in Israel
Despite the undeniable significance of love in parent–child relationships, there is a gap in empirical research on this topic. Love's mythological, abstract and subjective nature complicates its academic investigation, often overshadowed by the presumption of its universal presence. The current study aimed to explore the intricate nature of parental love through the lens of child protection social workers (CPSWs) working with children at risk due…

Sexual Abuse of Children With Disabilities
In recent years there has been a growing public and professional interest in situations of risk, abuse, and exploitation of children with disabilities (CWDs). Despite the increasing awareness of CWDs experiencing child sexual abuse (CSA) at high rates, research in this area is still in its infancy. The current study seeks to identify, map, and thoroughly analyze the existing knowledge to better inform future research, policy, and practice. A scop…
An anchor in instability or an inhibitor for development? Professional perceptions of siblinghood in family group homes in Israel
Most children who are removed from their homes by social services have siblings. Yet, siblinghood is an unnoticed and understudied field of interest. Professionals lack a framework for addressing this common issue in out‐of‐home placement decision‐making and caregiving. The current study examined how professionals in family group homes in Israel perceive and approach sibling bonds, as well as the main barriers and benefits they identify regarding…

What Can We Learn About the Others Present During Incidents of Child Abuse
Child abuse (CA) is a global problem that has received attention from policymakers, researchers, and practitioners. The majority of studies have focused on the phenomenon’s epidemiology and consequences, alongside groundbreaking writing on victims and perpetrators. The concept of others who are present during the abuse is understudied and underdeveloped, despite its vital importance in better understanding children’s experiences as well as their …
The Experiences and Perceptions of Sexually Abused Children as Participants in the Legal Process
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a phenomenon that receives attention from researchers and practitioners worldwide. An unknown percent of cases are disclosed bravely by children to authorities. One part of those children’s journey can involve the legal process, which aims to decide whether a crime happened and, if so, to sentence the offender. To do so, a considerable amount of evidence is required. Part of what makes CSA cases complex is that the chi…
What Messages Are Communicated to Children in Maltreatment Prevention Programs? Conclusions of a Scoping Review
There is a worldwide consensus that the prevention of child maltreatment (CM) is critical in promoting children’s safety. Furthermore, a significant part of the prevention efforts targets the children themselves. This scoping review aimed to map the characteristics of CM prevention programs that targeted children by examining studies that described the relevant implemented programs, published in peer-reviewed journals over the last decade. Thirty…

This review examined studies published in peer-…
I screamed but then realized nobody was listening”
Intrafamilial child sexual abuse (IFCSA) is perceived as a crime perpetrated without witnesses. Nevertheless, researchers have explored two main aspects of the others present during abusive incidents: bystanders in extra‐familial child sexual abuse and bystanders' decisions of whether to become involved. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding how children and survivors perceive and experience the presence of others during abusive inciden…

If my parents find out, I will not see my phone anymore
Child online sexual solicitation has become a significant form of child sexual abuse. Disclosure of online sexual solicitation is a multifaceted and complex process. The role of the disclosure recipient is crucial in the disclosure process, with respect to the initiation of the disclosure, how much children disclose, recantations and the children's well‐being. The current study aimed to explore children's experiences, perceptions, challenges and …

Do we need to rethink guidance on repeated interviews
Within the legal system, children are frequently interviewed about their experiences more than once, with different information elicited in different interviews. The presumed positive and negative effects of multiple interviewing have generated debate and controversy within the legal system and among researchers. Some commentators emphasize that repeated interviews foster inaccurate recall and are inherently suggestive, whereas others emphasize t…

“Please, Help Me!”
Over the last few decades, the phenomenon of child maltreatment (CM) has been recognized as a major social problem by professionals, policymakers, and researchers. Relatedly, high‐intensity parental dispute (HIPD) has been increasingly recognized, particularly in terms of its detrimental effect on the family unit and on child welfare in particular. Few studies, however, have considered these two phenomena jointly. The present study examines exper…
My Brother’s Keeper? The Sibling Subsystem in the Context of Physical and Sexual Child Abuse
