The study objective is to identify the factors that explain abuse and neglect in residential care and to assess how current laws and law enforcement practices promote or hinder the protection of children in them. Data were collected through 32 unstructured online interviews with stakeholders from various fields of child protection across nine regions of Kazakhstan, combined with a socio-legal analysis of existing policy. The theoretical framework combines children's rights theory with the bioecological systems theory. The thematic analysis of coded data reveals systemic barriers such as personnel shortages, inadequate training and inconsistent procedures. Sociocultural factors include the absence of a zero-tolerance culture, hierarchical power relations within institutions and a limited understanding of children's emotional and psychological needs. Legal gaps include difficulties maintaining confidentiality, the absence of clear definitions for serious crimes and a lack of evidence tools. Across these three themes, the study finds that abuse and neglect persist even where child protection legislation exists, because an internationally aligned legal framework is undermined in practice by weak implementation, institutional culture and the low social status of children. On this basis, the paper proposes recommendations for staff training and sensitisation, clearer inter-agency procedures and monitoring, and stronger and more accountable oversight.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"35 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149146301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, child welfare agencies increasingly aim to cultivate ‘kin-first’ cultures in which kinship placement is prioritized for youth entering care. However, persistently low kinship placement rates suggest a need to understand the role of child protective services (CPS) staff attitudes. CPS staff attitudes are conceptualized as a core component of a ‘kin-first’ culture and an important target for interventions seeking to promote kinship placement. However, few studies have examined the effects of kinship placement-promoting interventions on staff attitudes. This study examined the extent to which the type and number of kinship placement-promoting interventions used by staff influenced their attitudes towards kinship placement. Using a cross-sectional survey of 1743 CPS staff and multivariate regression analyses, we assessed the relationship between three interventions and staff attitudes towards kinship placement. Kinship exception request forms (<i>p</i> = 0.01), office restructuring (<i>p</i> = 0.02) and exposure to two (<i>p</i> = 0.04) or three (<i>p</i> < 0.001) interventions were associated with more positive perceptions of the office culture around kinship placement, whereas exposure to two interventions (<i>p</i> = 0.04) was associated with less positive perceptions of the policy and process around kinship placement. The findings point to promising practice and policy approaches to promote a ‘kin-first’ culture among child protection professionals in child welfare agencies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"35 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149146984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, the literature offers rare evidence for psychological mechanisms through which depressive symptoms contribute to suicide risk in those with a trauma history. This study explores the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties in the link between depressive symptoms and suicide risk among young adults with childhood trauma. The sample consisted of 310 participants (<i>M</i><sub>age</sub> = 20.71 years; 64.5% female) who scored 35 or higher on the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire in Türkiye. The data were also collected using the Suicide Probability Scale, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form (DERS-16) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). We used Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 4) to perform mediation analysis. Our findings showed that depressive symptoms directly and indirectly predicted suicide risk through emotion regulation difficulties. Our model accounted for 62.49% of the variance in suicide risk; therefore, emotion regulation difficulties could be a key mechanism linking depression to suicidality. Overall, the findings emphasise the importance of early detection of depressive symptoms. Interventions addressing emotion regulation difficulties in those with trauma experience should also be considered to help mitigate suicide risk.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"35 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149048393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
