一项基于澳大利亚儿童虐待研究的新数据显示，四分之一的年轻人在童年时期遭受过父母的身体虐待，且多发生在10岁之前1。研究发现，家庭成员实施身体虐待的可能性是机构人员的20倍（84.8%对4.3%），并指出当前预防工作应更多聚焦于家庭环境而非仅关注机构虐待1。该研究的样本包含2,623名报告在儿童期遭受身体虐待的人1。
数据表明，女孩遭受家庭身体虐待的比例（28.6%）高于男孩（24.4%）1。在施虐者身份方面，三分之一在10岁前报告受虐的成年人称施虐者为双亲1。当仅有一方父母施虐时，男孩被父亲虐待的可能性（10.6%）是被母亲虐待（4.4%）的两倍1。此前报告曾显示32%的澳大利亚人经历过童年身体虐待，而本研究进一步揭示了上述具体特征1。
文章呼吁通过普及育儿支持、早期干预和公共健康方法来预防家庭内的身体虐待1。这一建议提出之际，澳大利亚正在制定新的《消除针对妇女和儿童暴力国家计划》1。
A recent analysis of Australian child abuse data reveals that approximately one-quarter of young people suffered physical abuse from parents during childhood, with the majority of incidents occurring before age 10 1. The study examined a sample of 2,623 individuals who reported experiencing physical abuse as children and found that family members were significantly more likely to be perpetrators than institutional staff 1. Specifically, children were 20 times more likely to be abused by family members (84.8%) compared to those working in institutions (4.3%) 1. This highlights a critical need for prevention efforts to shift focus toward home environments rather than solely concentrating on institutional safeguards 1.
Gender differences emerged in the findings, as girls reported higher rates of physical abuse within families (28.6%) compared to boys (24.4%) 1. When only one parent was identified as the abuser, boys were twice as likely to have been mistreated by their fathers (10.6%) as by their mothers (4.4%) 1. Among adults who recalled abuse before turning 10, one-third indicated that both parents were involved in the physical mistreatment 1. These insights underscore the prevalence of familial violence, noting that previous reports had estimated 32% of Australians experienced some form of childhood physical abuse 1. Currently, Australia is developing a new National Plan to Eliminate Violence Against Women and Children 1.
