Abstract
A content analysis of 98 "founded" case records of physical abuse committed by baby-sitters in Iowa reveals that in 70% of cases, sitters had a conflict with the victim prior to the abusive act. Children fighting with other children was the most common type of disturbance, followed by battles surrounding toilet training, children's continuous crying, disobedience, & rudeness. Explicit or implicit approval of baby-sitters' violence by the child's parents contributed to the abuse in approximately 25% of the cases. 1 Table, 22 References. Adapted from the source document.
