abstract="In a sample of 856 South African child victims of sexual abuse (M age= 10.2 yr., SD=4.2), 26% experienced nonsupportive reactions at initial disclosure, with nonsupportive reactions taking two forms, ignoring the child (16% of cases) and punishing or silencing the child (10% of cases). Nonsupportive disclosure was equally likely when the confidant was a nonoffending guardian (OR= 1.00), another family member (OR= 0.84), or a professional person (OR= 1.07) but significantly more likely in cases where the confidant was a community member (OR=3.41).<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
