520 _aThirty-four parents took part in this research reporting on the frequency and extent of the violence and abuse of their children toward family members. Of these families 44% were single female parent families and 56% were two parent families. The young people were predominately aged between 12 and 17 years and comprised 65% males and 35% females. They were reported to have engaged in a broad range of physical, emotional or psychological, verbal and financial violence and abuse in these families with much of it considered extreme by family members. The main findings from this research were: • Child and adolescent family violence occurs in many different types of households • Mothers are most likely to be the targets of this violence and abuse • There is little community understanding of the issues faced by these families • The victims of this violence are often held responsible and blamed for the behaviour.
