Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the rate of re-abuse in children previously known to have been sexually abused, including factors that might elevate their risk of further abuse.
- Nearly 30% of the sexually abused children faced additional substantiated abuse notifications six years later, with predictors including prior emotional abuse and changes in caregivers.
