The Approach of Immigrant Families from the Former Soviet Union towards Child Maltreatment

Investigated how Soviet immigrant families in Israel perceive situations of child maltreatment. Found that families indicated that parents’ behavior was unacceptable in cases of neglect or abuse; even when child behavior was unacceptable that parents’ behavior was not legitimate. There was a low level of willingness to involve people from outside the family in situations of abuse or neglect. (Description from resource)
