Child on Child Abuse
Child on Child abuse refers to a broad range of behaviours spanning a number of specific safeguarding issues. Its breadth is exemplified by the definition adopted by Dr C. Firmin, University of Bedfordshire:
Physical, sexual, emotional and financial abuse, and coercive control, exercised within young people’s relationships.
The following statistics highlight the extent of this issue:
One in five girls in England suffered physical violence from their boyfriend
More than four in ten teenage schoolgirls aged between 13 and 17 in England have experienced sexual coercion.
The rates of violence were higher for girls in England than in other countries.
Nearly half-48% of girls reported instances of emotional and online abuse from their partners.
Over a third of young boys in England admitted watching porn and held negative attitudes towards women
