Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present and analyze some characteristics of the social relationships system which is specific to families where child abuse and neglect occur. The theoretical considerations are structured around a set of questions, such as: What role do social networks have in family life in general and in every member of the family in particular? How does the network of social relationships differentiate between families where children are subjected to different forms of abuse or neglect from families where there are no such events? What is the relationship between the different characteristics of parents’ social networking and child maltreatment? As part of the social network of family members, support system can prevent child maltreatment? What is the impact of an episode of child abuse and neglect on the social network configuration? Concrete evidence shows that there is a relationship between the quality of the parents’ social network and child maltreatment, and that the social support system plays an important role in preventing such incidents.
