[Siblings of a child with a motor handicap].

The siblings of children with motor handicaps have been only very infrequently studied, perhaps because of the fear of inducing additional disorders. From his personal experience, the author suggests that the siblings are more influenced by efficient parental guidance than by the presence of the handicapped child, whether this child is with it's family or in an institution. The risk for one of the parents of being appropriated by the handicapped child, who is thus over-protected, must be countered in order to avoid adverse reactions from the siblings.

The effects of child maltreatment on violent offending among institutionalized youth.

While prior literature generally supports the connection between child maltreatment and violent offending in adolescence and early adulthood for general population samples, less is known about the relationship between child maltreatment and the frequency of violent offending among serious juvenile offenders. As a result, few studies have examined whether the effects of child maltreatment on the frequency of violent offending are mediated by other social processes, as developmental models of aggression and violence would suggest. To examine this issue, self-report data on child maltreatment, general delinquency risk factors, and violent offending were collected from 3,694 juveniles confined to 48 correctional institutions. Results from a series of negative binomial regression models indicated that the relationship between child maltreatment and the frequency of violent offending was mediated by social risk factors. The implications of these findings for theory and practice are discussed.
