Safeguarding Mothers

Child to Parent Abuse

Child to parent abuse involves children displaying abusive and violent behaviours towards parents and family members. CPA is a serious issue and evidence suggests it is increasing. This abuse can be carried out by sons and daughters (at any age) against mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings and carers.

In Short

 It is easy for parents or caregivers to feel guilty and ashamed when children are abusive and violent. However, recent research shows that child to adult violence is common - about 20% of teenagers are violent to their parents and about 10% seriously so.
