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

Shor, Ron

Early Child Development and Care, v139 p1-11 Dec 1997

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. (JPB)
