Reply to comment by shialebeefe in Child abuse in the U.S. - victims by perpetrator relationship 2020 by Not_that_wire

Fathers are more likely than mothers to be active abusers, mothers are more likely to be passive abusers (neglect). Neglect is a slippery slope. Neglect is not a judgment based on the quality of life of the mother. But if her life is shit and filled with abuse, poverty, drugs, homelessness, mental illness, etc, then the quality of life of the child is going to be shit as well as a by-product.

The exact same thing can be said about fathers too.

Functioning, fulfilled and happy people do not abuse their children.

Can you point to credible data for that, please? Doesn't matter what country as long as the sample size is over 200.

Thanks. I work strictly with large-set open data. I don't do book report research as much of it is from a methological echo chamber. I let others debate that stuff.

Lots of synthesis of "existing literature" involving unrepresentative sample size and very, very laggy reporting.

I know in Canada, the government data science talent pool is extremely thin. Their output is known to be really slow and lumpy, generally using deprecated technologies.

In my country, we're still wrapping our heads around our indigenous genocide (in progress). The colonist thugs involved were teachers, social workers and bureaucrats. These have perpetuated lies for 200 yrs. It'll continue as long as we like mineral rights.

Despite federal open gov mandates, the Canadian data is but a trickle of molasses in winter.
