Recent high-profile cases challenge this characterisation, exposing systemic failures within contemporary childcare environments that enable the sexual abuse of very young children. This article examines six prosecuted CSA cases from high-income countries involving serial offending against children under the age of five to explore how such severe abuse can persist despite regulation and apparent safeguards, and contrary to persistent scholarly claims that child sex offenders do not target ECEC settings. Using gendered organisational theory, our analysis reveals how organisational cultures, gendered power dynamics, and failures in accountability contribute to the occurrence and concealment of abuse. By situating these cases within broader patriarchal structural contexts, the article offers a critical rethinking of institutional responsibility and proposes reforms to strengthen child protection in ECEC settings.","PeriodicalId":48052,"journal":{"name":"Child Maltreatment","volume":" ","pages":"637-648"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13616034/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145918942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, adults with CM who are classified as \"resilient\" may still face negative outcomes in areas of life not captured by resilience criteria. To test this hypothesis, the present study examined whether higher levels of CM were associated with worse psychological, social, and physical health outcomes even in \"resilient\" adults. Using data at all three survey waves spanning two decades from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) longitudinal study, resilience was defined as healthy functioning across seven domains: psychiatric disorders, substance use, education, employment, homelessness, crime, and social isolation. Results showed that in both the \"resilient\" and \"non-resilient\" groups, higher CM exposure was significantly associated with worse outcomes on measures of stress reactivity, perceived stress, number of chronic conditions, self-esteem, life satisfaction, relationship quality with friends and family, and positive relations with others (measured at wave 3; all p-values <.033). These findings suggest that CM has enduring and overlooked psychological, social, and physical health consequences not captured by comprehensive resilience criteria, highlighting the need for intervention even in seemingly resilient adults.","PeriodicalId":48052,"journal":{"name":"Child Maltreatment","volume":" ","pages":"751-764"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145379360","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}

Rates of endorsement differed across racial/ethnic groups, underscoring the need to explore the extent to which prevalence varies along with sampling and measurement approaches.

To develop an evidence-based, user-friendly, and broadly applicable universal child abuse screening tool (U-CAST) for integration into the EPIC Foundation System. A qualitative study engaged nine expert working groups comprising 17 specialists in child abuse pediatrics, pediatric trauma surgery, general pediatrics, and pediatric emergency medicine. Between February and April 2022, groups met virtually to discuss screening content, clinical decision support, workflow integration, and implementation considerations. Meeting transcripts were analyzed using inductive coding and thematic analysis. Five themes emerged: (1) the importance of universal screening; (2) essential tool components; (3) appropriate clinical settings; (4) actionable follow-up protocols for positive screens; and (5) local program evaluation. Preliminary implementation data demonstrated successful integration, high screening completion rates, and encouraging performance in identifying children with suspected physical abuse. U-CAST was developed through a multi-disciplinary expert process and designed for integration into Epic workflows. Preliminary findings support its feasibility and clinical utility.","PeriodicalId":48052,"journal":{"name":"Child Maltreatment","volume":" ","pages":"10775595261497652"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149197044","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}

We utilized a community-based participatory action and theory-driven research approach with an aim of understanding how community norms explained family help-seeking behavior. Applying a critical interactionist framework, community members in one rural Midwestern area defined the drivers of local norms and explained how those norms shaped access to and use of community-based family supports. Analyses resulted in a constructivist grounded theory articulating access levers for family support in community-based prevention systems. This paper details four emergent concepts supporting the core process of this theory of rural help-seeking. We further articulate how community norms shaped access to community-based systems of family support and discuss considerations for rural maltreatment prevention and theory-informed and community-driven system change.","PeriodicalId":48052,"journal":{"name":"Child Maltreatment","volume":" ","pages":"10775595261485311"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149116886","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}
