Description

Koichi Furuhashi profiles abused children sent by Child Guidance Centers in Japan to a child psychiatry unit, and their hospital stay patterns. These centers lead child protection in Japan, yet data on such referrals are thin. The study came out in twenty twenty-five.

Records covered dozens of children across four years. Mental abuse was most common, then physical abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse. Girls had far higher odds of sexual abuse on record and were hospitalized more. Children with brain growth disorders had lower odds of sexual abuse being logged. Hospital stays linked to more abuse types and to sexual abuse, most of all by non caregivers.
