The reliability, validity, and incremental value of the partner conflict section of the semi-structured Family Socialization Interview - Revised 2.0 (FSI-R2) were examined in a sample of children at-risk for IPV exposure (N = 246, M age = 5.4 years, SD = 0.9). Data analyzed were from a study investigating the effects of IPV on young children. Interrater reliability was acceptable. Supporting convergent validity, FSI-R2 severity correlated positively with mother-reported partner conflict (Conflict Tactics Scale-2) and child-reported perceived threat (Berkeley Puppet Interview). The FSI-R2 severity codes correlated positively with children's PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. Supporting incremental value, FSI-R2 severity explained unique variance in children's symptoms beyond the CTS2. Finally, findings underscored the importance of comprehensively assessing IPV that has occurred not only with current partners, but also ex-partners, and across children's lifetimes.","PeriodicalId":48052,"journal":{"name":"Child Maltreatment","volume":" ","pages":"10775595251381229"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145201839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no research has examined the effects of MST-CAN on parenting behaviors or identified which intervention targets are associated with reductions in child problems. This study examined changes in child internalizing and externalizing problems, parental psychological control, neglectful parenting, and social worker-assessed neglect, accounting for therapist effects, and assessed how parenting and neglect predict child outcomes in 143 parent-child dyads in Switzerland (mean child age = 10.5 years, 54.1% boys). Multilevel regression showed significant reductions in social worker-assessed neglect (b = 14.10, SE = 3.49, p < .001) and child problems (b = 4.97, SE = 0.88, p < .001) with low intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC = .049, ICC = .017). Neglectful parenting (b = 0.03, SE = 0.05, p = .640) and psychological control (b = 0.10, SE = 0.07, p = .140) were not significantly reduced. Parenting and social worker assessed neglect did not affect changes in child problems. Findings demonstrate MST-CAN's effectiveness in reducing social worker-assessed neglect and child problems but highlight the need for targeting psychological control and multi-method and multi-informant assessments of parenting behaviors.","PeriodicalId":48052,"journal":{"name":"Child Maltreatment","volume":" ","pages":"10775595251381267"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145103061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many jurisdictions in Australia and internationally have introduced policies for prenatal planning and support, however little is known about outcomes of infants reported prenatally. This study is the first to use cross-jurisdictional, individual-record data to examine child protection pathways associated with prenatal and infant reports. Australian Institute of Health and Welfare data covering 2012-2018 was used. Cox regression analyses examined factors associated with removal into out-of-home care and reunification. Removals were significantly more likely for children with prenatal reports (HR = 2.29, 95% CI: 2.17-2.41). Earlier-in-pregnancy reports were not associated with reduced removals. There was significant variation across jurisdictions in removals and reunifications. Aboriginal children were significantly more likely to have prenatal reports and removals and less likely to be reunified. Examining the effectiveness and potential improvement of prenatal interventions and support could increase children's opportunity to safely remain at home.","PeriodicalId":48052,"journal":{"name":"Child Maltreatment","volume":" ","pages":"10775595251381279"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145092457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study participants were N = 57 mother-infant dyads, stratified for maternal childhood maltreatment. At 4 months, infant cortisol total output (AUCg) and change (AUCi) were assessed across the Still-Face Paradigm. Under natural sleep, infants completed T1-weighted MRI scans (M age = 12.28 months). Whole brain, amygdala, and hippocampal volumes were extracted via automated segmentation. Maternal childhood neglect, but not abuse, was directly associated with higher infant AUCg and AUCi, and was indirectly associated with larger amygdala and hippocampal volumes through infant AUCg.

Miscommunication may be particularly difficult to detect if children respond to the invitations with unelaborated \"I don't know\" (IDK) responses. The present study examined 352 adult participants' ability to detect the pseudotemporal problem across 12 invitation/response pairs embedded within a mock forensic interview. Results revealed that the most common interpretation of invitations including the word 'time' was that it was a question about \"what happened.\" Additionally, participants rarely identified the pseudotemporal problem, especially in cases where the child's IDK response was unelaborated.

Maternal ACEs were indirectly associated with average socioemotional problems through prenatal, but not postpartum, depressive symptoms.

These same indicators predict revictimization, except for prior placement history, residential facility commitment, prior physical abuse and prior sexual abuse.
