520 _aThis article explores issues related to women abusing their children in New Zealand. The article presents data on child abuse in New Zealand, illustrated with particular cases. The author questions the use of battered women's syndrome to mitigate punishment for acts of violence or failure to protect a child, and the role it has in abusive women receiving lesser punishment than men in criminal courts. Feminist theories of domestic violence, and feminist theory in relation to children and parenting are critiqued. The article outlines the approaches and services available in New Zealand prior to the responsibility for parenting being placed socially and legislatively on the immediate family. The article suggests universally provided support for parents may contribute to a solution.
