This chapter of the book Handbook of Children, Culture and Violence examines the tendency of U.S. Child Protective Services to remove children from homes where they are sexually abused instead of removing the abusive parent. The author argues that removing child victims from homes where they are sexually abused leaves other siblings at risk of sexual abuse from the same parent. Removing the abusive parent may be more beneficial to the family than removing the child victim. The chapter contains an extensive list of references for further research.
