媒体机构表示，在全球COVID-19大流行期间，虐待儿童的比率可能会增加。少数几项实证研究审查了与大流行病有关的虐待儿童比率的变化，主要依赖于可疑虐待的报告。这项研究调查了在COVID-19大流行之前和期间，有记录的、经证实的导致寄养安置的儿童虐待事件的发生率，以及寄养系统内儿童虐待的人口统计学相关性。从2001年1月1日到2020年6月30日，佛罗里达州寄养系统中的所有青少年都有数据可用（即，> 304 000名青年; > 110万名总安置人数）。这项研究利用了来自佛罗里达州自动儿童福利信息系统（SACWIS）的数据。结果显示，于2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，佛罗里达州寄养系统的青少年人数有所减少，其中于2020年4月的家庭安全令期间减少最多（2020年的青少年人数较2019年减少24%）。相比之下，由于虐待而被安置在寄养家庭的比例增加了3.34%。在安置率和遭受虐待方面观察到与人口统计学相关的差异。虽然先前的工作表明，在COVID-19大流行期间，虐待儿童的报告有所减少，但这项研究表明，白色青年中，导致寄养安置的经证实的虐待的总体比率有所增加，而黑人青年中，由于监管不足，情感忽视和/或父母使用药物而导致的安置率有所下降。政策和未来的研究的影响进行了讨论。
Media outlets have suggested that rates of child maltreatment may increase during the global COVID-19 pandemic. The few empirical studies that have examined pandemic related changes in rates of child maltreatment have relied predominantly on reports of suspected maltreatment. This study examines rates of documented, substantiated child maltreatment resulting in foster care placement, as well as demographic correlates of child maltreatment within the foster care system, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were available for all youth in the FL foster care system from January 1, 2001 through June 30, 2020 (i.e., > 304,000 youth; > 1.1 million total placements). This study utilizes data from the Florida State Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS). Results revealed a decrease in the number of youths placed in the FL foster care system during the COVID-19 pandemic with the greatest reduction in April, 2020 during the Safer-at-Home Order (24 % fewer youth in 2020 than 2019). In contrast, the percentage of placements into foster care due to maltreatment increased by 3.34 %. Demographic-linked differences were observed in placement rates and exposure to maltreatment. While prior work suggests that reports of child maltreatment have decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study demonstrates that overall rates of substantiated maltreatment resulting in foster care placement have increased for White youth, while rates of placement of due to inadequate supervision, emotional neglect, and/or parental substance use have decreased for Black youth. Implications for policy and future research are discussed.
