儿童保护服务（CPS）每年在美国确定超过70万名虐待儿童的受害者。研究表明，尽管CPS干预，这些儿童的风险因素可能会持续存在。母亲对CPS干预的经验和后果有独特的，往往是未开发的观点，可能会为未来的实践提供信息。我们通过对24位母亲的采访探讨了这些观点，这些母亲在第一次CPS发现虐待不会导致家庭外安置。在21起案件中，男性伴侣是主要肇事者，在其余案件中，母亲或保姆被确定为肇事者。使用扎根理论分析数据。母亲描述的风险因素或根虐待CPS参与之前，并报告变量的经验与识别和响应虐待。出现了不同的结果：我感觉更强，我们没有更好。这些研究结果提供了一个家庭的儿童虐待的经验，可能支持实践和政策的变化，以改善弱势儿童的结果的理解。
Child Protective Services (CPS) identifies over 700,000 victims of child maltreatment in the U.S. annually. Research shows that risk factors for these children may persist despite CPS intervention. Mothers have unique and often untapped perspectives on the experiences and consequences of CPS intervention that may inform future practice. We explored these perspectives through interviews with 24 mothers after a first-time CPS finding of maltreatment not resulting in out-of-home placement. Male partners were primary perpetrators in 21 cases, with mothers or sitters identified as perpetrators in remaining cases. Data were analyzed using grounded theory. Mothers described risk factors or Roots of maltreatment prior to CPS involvement and reported variable experiences with Recognition of and Response to maltreatment. Divergent Outcomes emerged: I Feel Stronger and We’re No Better. These findings provide an understanding of household experiences around child maltreatment that may support practice and policy changes to improve outcomes for vulnerable children.
