National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS)

Quote from: "Male[/b] Perpetrators of Child Maltreatment: Findings from NCANDS (January, 2005)"]
Of all reported cases in the State data set, slightly less than one-half of all perpetrators were male. Of these, about one-half (51%) were biological fathers, an additional one-fifth occupied some other parental role (adoptive fathers, stepfathers, mothers' boyfriends), and about one-quarter were in nonparental relationships (including relatives, foster parents, day care providers, or friends) to their victims. In comparison, among female perpetrators, 86 percent were biological mothers.


OK, can sombody tell me why the hell are we (given those stats I bolded in the quote) reading a document called "Male Perpertrators Of Child Maltreatment, while there is no such document for Female Perpetrators of Child Maltreatment, despite the fact (BY THEIR OWN DATA) that female perpetrators are prevalent?!?!

Anyway, some interesting quotes form this 2005 report:

Quote
Of the 192,321 unique perpetrators in the data set, 89,028 (46%) were male and 103,293 (54%) were female.


Quote
Biological fathers were less likely than other male perpetrators to act alone. When acting in concert with the mother, biological fathers were more likely to be involved with younger children and more likely to be involved with neglect than other types of maltreatment.


Quote
In 10 of the 18 States, data were provided on whether the perpetrator was in a caregiver role with the victim at the time of the maltreatment. If the perpetrator was in a caregiving role with any of the associated victims, he or she was considered to be a caretaker. Female perpetrators were much more likely to be in a caregiving role than were male perpetrators; 87 percent of females were caregivers compared with 60 percent of males.


Quote
When compared with female perpetrators, male perpetrators were involved with more children older than age 8 and fewer children younger than age 1. Twenty-one percent of females were associated with child victims under age 1, while only 11 percent of male perpetrators were associated with infant victims; and 29 percent of male perpetrators were associated with victims between age 12 and 15, compared with 22 percent of females.


Quote
Male perpetrators were associated more often only with female victims, while female perpetrators were associated with male and female victims in almost equal numbers. However, this pattern does not hold true for all categories of male perpetrators. More than one-half of the perpetrators who were stepfathers or adoptive fathers maltreated girls.


Quote
Among biological fathers, 55 percent always acted alone, while 41 percent were associated with the mother at least once, and 4 percent acted with another person. A slightly larger percentage of stepfathers (64%) and adoptive fathers (60%) always acted alone.


Quote
Male and female perpetrators had distinct patterns of maltreatment. More than one-third of male perpetrators (36%) were associated with neglect; 66 percent of female perpetrators were associated with neglect. A quarter of males (26%) were associated with sexual abuse, while 2 percent of female perpetrators were associated with sexual abuse. The percentages associated with physical abuse were comparable, although slightly higher for males (22%) than for females (18%).


Quote
For both adoptive fathers and stepfathers, physical abuse was the most frequent type. Nonparental perpetrators were primarily associated with sexual abuse (68%). Biological fathers had the smallest percentage of sexual abuse cases (7%) compared to between 20 percent and 30 percent for boyfriends, adoptive fathers, and stepfathers.


Quote
Within 12 months, it was projected that 7 percent of biological fathers were associated with a second maltreated child, while approximately 4 percent of adoptive and stepfathers, 7 percent of boyfriends, and 8 percent of nonparents experienced an additional report of maltreatment in the same year.


Quote
Among biological fathers who acted with mothers, 25 percent were associated with children under age 1, but among those who acted alone only 9 percent were associated with infant victims. Among other groups of male perpetrators, very few were associated with the youngest victims regardless of whether they acted with the mother or alone. Biological fathers were associated with fewer preteen (age 8-11) and teenage (age 12-15) victims than were the other male perpetrators, regardless of whether they acted alone or with the mother.


Quote
Among biological fathers acting alone, 42 percent had maltreated girls; 55 percent of father surrogates acting alone and 68 percent of male nonparents acting alone were associated with girls.


Quote
This study confirms earlier findings (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2004) that females outnumbered male perpetrators among cases investigated by CPS, by a margin of 10 percent. Males were slightly older than females, but otherwise no other basic demographic differences between male and female perpetrators were observed.


Quote
The study also confirmed NCANDS findings (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2004) that patterns of sexual abuse were more common among male perpetrators, whereas neglect was more common among female perpetrators. About one-fifth of perpetrators, both male and female, physically abused their victims. The maltreatment pattern for biological fathers was similar to the overall female pattern — that is, the majority was associated only with neglect, and less than 10 percent were sexually abusive, although about one-quarter were physically abusive.

WARCRAFT

Rebadow, do you have any similar statistics for the UK?

Child abuse campaigns in the UK seem to show only male abusers, usually fathers.

Interesting! Mothers are more abusive (where it results in fatalities, too), than fathers!

I believe the legalization and easy availability of abortion has led to this.

Once women get their maternal instincts blunted by one or more abortions (most women who abort go on to have repeats), its downhill from there.

Think about it: if the law says you can kill your child before it is born, why does birth draw a line? If you can kill a child before birth, you can kill one after birth too! Abortion has led to a cheapening of the preciousness of children.

Abortion has led to a cheapening of the value of life in general, its just the first step on a road to chaos and immorality.

I've tried without success to find a similar set of statistics as that American pie chart on child abuse over there. It really comes as NO surprise to me at all that the % of mothers abusing their children (including murdering them) is very nearly twice that of fathers. But do we hear any protests or even publicity on this vile business? Do we heck as like, as they say in the North of England.

It's pretty well known that young children are far more at risk of harm perpetrated by their mothers than any other person, certainly by their fathers. But society chooses to either ignore those statistics or even refuse to believe that it happens. But it does - it's a fact, and there is no reason at all to think that those American statistics are not equalled, and perhaps exceeded, here in the UK. Taking child abuse (including murder) into account, mothers are more of a danger to their children than any other individual. Imagine the feminazi controlled BBC even including those statistics in any news report or in any official documentary! No chance!

The only UK links I can find on child abuse are those which involve mals as the perpetrators. According to those links it's only males who perpetrate child abuse! Go check for yourself - if you can see anything which reflects that American pie chart then please tell us.

I've just listened to a load of feminist crap on BBC Radio 4 - on the Woman's Hour program as it happens. It referred to the issue of women in prison - and in the converation with a British Government spokesman (name I didn't catch) mentioned the plans to make prison a non consideration for the vast majority of women offenders in the UK. I quote this mangina here: "Only those women who are judged to be a very real danger to the community by being unacceptably violent will be sent to prison. Punishment for women will more involve community based rehabilitation, and plans are afoot to deal with the real problems of drug and alcohol abuse, depression, domestic violence and abuse from men and background social deprivation which these offending women suffer from".

The woman interviewing him then mentioned "the women who have committed suicide and harmed themselves in prison" and what is being done to deal with this particular problem? The mangina said that the Government regards that problem as very serious indeed, and action is being taken now to deal with this problem as well."

Apparently women are to be dealt with in an entirely different way from men. It seems that no male prisoners kill themselves, and none suffer from drug and alcohol abuse, depression, effects of domestic violence, social deprivation and social ostracism and isolation and discrimination because of their gender. How ridiculous to even assume that!

Apparently the male is seen as completely immune from any kind of vulnerability or disadvantage, and deserves his full punishment solely on the basis of his chromosomes. Or so that manky Government mangina implied. I wish I had caught his name, but the bloody woman interviewing probably forgot to give it - if anyone is a feminazi muppet then it's her. Her name is Jenni Murray. Her new feminazi cohort is called Jane Garvey. She was bad enough on BBC Five Live's Drive program - she seems to be even worse on the crap that is Woman's Hour.

Hi!

Sorry, I don't. I found this stat a few years back and posted it at SYG (this was before AM even existed). The original post contained more graphs and stuff. I posted the same post here too, but when I looked for it, it magically disappeared from the Facts and figures subforum, so I decided to post again a few days ago, but with only one graph, as I don't have the time to go through the whole page again - if you decide to browse around the page, you'll find more graphs about mothers being more abusive. And these are official stats! No such thing for the UK, unfortunately.

Edit: Ah, I found some thread at the SYG, where they re-posted my original post a while back - there used to be this Highlight subforum at SYG and this was in it. Now it looks like they ended it, but copied the thread in the main chat subforum. Anyway, here it is, my original post (and a few other that followed).

Another interesting theory that I've been mulling around - mothers being more violent towards their children is a biological construct exacerbated by society. Post birth, female aggression takes a MASSIVE upturn, and previous to society this was a good thing. Mothers who do not aggressively protect their young do not have young that live long enough to breed. But, in comes society, where that aggression has become unnecessary. The aggression is very much still there, BUT, it no longer has an outlet nor a necessity, thus gets focused instead on her young.

Unfortunately, that's about as far as I get in regards to anthropological/sociological theory. Would be interesting to conduct a study in this regard...
