It may simply be because a
child was having problems with his / her social environment
and needed a change, but more often than not, there is a correlation
between alcohol
and drug
abuse and neglect on the part of the parents.

Findings from the NSCAW indicate that substance
abuse was much more highly associated with «
neglect, failure to provide basic necessities» than with «
neglect, failure to supervise» or any type of
abuse.11 Finally, violence may be more likely to erupt in homes where stimulant drugs
and alcohol are used.12 The interplay
between substance
abuse and child maltreatment within family dynamics
and across
children's developmental periods is gradually becoming clearer.
These findings approximate those of the more recent National Survey of
Child and Adolescent Well - Being (NSCAW) that 20 percent of children in an investigation for abuse and neglect had a mother who, by either the child welfare worker's or mother's account, was involved with drugs or alcohol; that figure rises to 42 percent for children who are placed into foster care.7 These studies have clearly established a positive relationship between a caregiver's substance abuse and child maltreatment among children in out - of - home care and among children in the general popula

Felitti
and colleagues1 first described ACEs
and defined it as exposure to psychological, physical or sexual
abuse,
and household dysfunction including substance
abuse (problem drinking / alcoholic
and / or street drugs), mental illness, a mother treated violently
and criminal behaviour in the household.1 Along with the initial ACE study, other studies have characterised ACEs as
neglect, parental separation, loss of family members or friends, long - term financial adversity
and witness to violence.2 3 From the original cohort of 9508 American adults, more than half of respondents (52 %) experienced at least one adverse childhood event.1 Since the original cohort, ACE exposures have been investigated globally revealing comparable prevalence to the original cohort.4 5 More recently in 2014, a survey of 4000 American
children found that 60.8 % of
children had at least one form of direct experience of violence, crime or
abuse.6 The ACE study precipitated interest in the health conditions of adults maltreated as
children as it revealed links to chronic diseases such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, heart, lung
and liver diseases,
and cancer in adulthood.1 Since then, further evidence has revealed relationships
between ACEs
and physical
and mental health outcomes, such as increased risk of substance
abuse, suicide
and premature mortality.4 7
Indeed, Jay Belsky incorporated all of these risk factors into his process model of parenting, 11
and data from multiple studies support links to
child well - being.12 In an experiment on the effectiveness of a program for low - birth - weight infants, Lawrence Berger
and Jeanne Brooks - Gunn examined the relative effect of both socioeconomic status
and parenting on
child abuse and neglect (as measured by ratings of health providers who saw
children in the treatment
and control groups six times over the first three years of life, not by review of administrative data)
and found that both factors contributed significantly
and uniquely to the likelihood that a family was perceived to engage in some form of
child maltreatment.13 The link
between parenting behaviors
and child maltreatment suggests that interventions that promote positive parenting behaviors would also contribute to lower rates of
child maltreatment among families served.
Scores of articles have long demonstrated a relationship
between exposure to childhood adversity
and a range of negative outcomes throughout the life span.1 — 8 The disproportionate exposure of low - income
children to
abuse,
neglect,
and other adversities9, 10 has been implicated as an important contributor to health disparities.11, 12 Preventing
and mitigating the impact of ACEs is critical to decreasing health disparities.
