However, through growing attention on the realised experiences of participants, this conceptualisation has been exposed as delusive; as a representation idealistically created to serve the interests of those holding power in sport (Brackenridge et al. <span>2005</span>; McMahon et al. <span>2018</span>; Papaefstathiou et al. <span>2013</span>). The ideological, politically motivated contexts of sport have actually been identified as creating a framework predisposed to facilitate abusive practice.</p><p>Despite concerns of abuse in sport being problematised by researchers in the 1980s (Hartill and Prescott <span>2007</span>), it was not until the press headlining catastrophic events of the 1990s exposing assaults by prominent coaches leading to their conviction that a more concerted response to abuse in sport materialised (Hartill <span>2013</span>; Lang and Hartill <span>2016</span>). Within the United Kingdom, the response to highlighting concerns with safeguarding in sport led to a National Action Plan for Children in Sport, ratified in 2000 (Papaefstathiou et al. <span>2013</span>; Sport England/NSPCC <span>2000</span>) and the Child Protection In Sport Unit being established as part of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (Brackenridge <span>2003</span>; Brackenridge and Rhind <span>2014</span>).

These developments emanated from the collaborative efforts of Safe Sport International (SSI) and UNICEF UK along with elite sport organisations, medical professionals, researchers and children's Non-Governmental Organisations indicating a recognition of the need for collective action. Alongside this, the International Olympic Committee's Consensus Statement on Training the Elite Child Athlete, 2008, Olympic Charter 2013 and the Olympic Medical Code (2024) all focus on the prevention of harm to elite performers in sport (Mountjoy et al. <span>2015</span>); The Olympic Agenda 2020 + 5 highlights safe sport as a strategic priority (International Olympic Committee <span>2021</span>; Mountjoy et al. <span>2022</span>). This is clearly significant progress although it must be acknowledged that such movement has largely utilised research conducted in the global north and/or by researchers based in the global north, and there is also a recognition that, moving f","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/car.70107","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146216878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research on the effects of childhood psychological abuse and neglect on adolescent relational aggression remains understudied. An in-depth exploration of the mechanisms underlying these effects is essential for developing effective prevention and intervention measures. This study conducted a three-wave survey in three junior high schools in Zhejiang Province, collecting a total of 688 valid questionnaires using cluster sampling. The mean age of the sample at T1 was 13.161 ± 0.909. The relationship between parental psychological abuse and neglect and adolescent relational aggression, as well as the sequential mediation effect of parental attachment and rejection sensitivity, was analysed through structural equation modelling. Parental psychological abuse and neglect were found to be significantly and positively related to adolescent relational aggression, with psychological abuse having a higher effect. In addition, parental psychological abuse and neglect were able to influence relational aggression through both independent mediations by parental attachment and rejection sensitivity, as well as through sequential mediation. These findings expand our understanding of how parenting behaviours shape adolescent mental health and provide important empirical evidence for the development and implementation of targeted preventive measures and intervention programmes.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146215911","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}

To describe the rate of Hong Kong parents with young children who support professional MR, identify factors that predict their support of MR and explore their reasons for or against MR. A convenience sample of 172 Hong Kong parents with children aged under 5 years self-administered an online survey. A cross-sectional online survey examined whether parents support MR. Sociodemographic characteristics, beliefs about child protection and reasons for or against the legislation of MR were assessed using multiple logistic regression and directed content analysis. A majority of parents (<i>n</i> = 127, 73.8%) supported professional MR, which was associated with gender (males are less likely to support MR; OR = 0.24, <i>p</i> = 0.025, 95% CI = 0.066–0.836), being employed (OR = 6.11, <i>p</i> = 0.020, 95% CI = 1.33–28.1) and reporting higher perceived behavioural control of professionals (OR = 1.42, <i>p</i> = 0.001, 95% CI = 1.17–1.72) and subjective norm (OR = 1.75, <i>p</i> = 0.002, 95% CI = 1.22–2.50).

This scoping review aims to examine how issues related to teacher-perpetrated CSA are represented in existing literature and media discourse, as these portrayals can significantly shape public perceptions of CSA and influence policy responses that directly affect victims, survivors and perpetrators. Media reports on incidents of teacher-perpetrated CSA against rural left-behind children (hereafter ‘teacher-perpetrated CSA’) were systematically collected. The search focused on Chinese-language publications with accessible full texts; reports lacking detailed case descriptions were also included. A total of 19 cases reported between 2000 and 2023 were identified, and the characteristics of both perpetrators and victims were analysed. Media coverage revealed a disproportionately high number of assault cases involving left-behind girls in rural schools. The absence of age-appropriate sex education in China likely contributes to children's limited awareness of CSA and inadequate self-protection knowledge. Furthermore, insufficiently developed sex-crime legislation often leaves victims without effective legal recourse. Existing laws fail to ensure that compensation provided by perpetrators to underage victims reflects the severity of the offence, highlighting a critical gap in victim protection and justice enforcement. The greatest challenge at present is that rural left-behind children continue to live in unprotected environments where they are at risk of sexual abuse. Under the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Minors, families, schools, society and the judicial system all share a legal and moral responsibility to safeguard left-behind children from teacher-perpetrated CSA. Effective prevention requires coordinated efforts across these sectors to build a comprehensive protective network that ensures children's safety and well-being.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47371,"journal":{"name":"Child Abuse Review","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146197049","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}

The results of multiple mediation analyses revealed a significant direct effect of psychological maltreatment on young internalizing behaviour and a significant indirect effect of psychological maltreatment on youth internalizing behaviour through trust in teachers and friendship qualities. Both trust in teachers and friendship qualities partially mediated the relationship between psychological maltreatment and youth internalizing behaviour.
