Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statistics show that most child abuse is perpetrated by a parent or other family member, with a majority of cases involving the biological mother or father. While child care providers and teachers can also be perpetrators of abuse, the higher likelihood of abuse occurring within the family makes a parent the most likely perpetrator. Grandparents can also be perpetrators, but the overall rates of abuse by grandparents are lower than parents.
