Summarises research which looked at parent and family responses after finding out that a young person has sexually abused. A total of 117 cases (out of a sample of 700) were selected for analysis. The research found three categories of long-term family response: supportive; ambivalent; and disintegrative shaming responses towards the young person. The study found that during the intervention, parental views could change over time. It highlights the need for professionals to work with parents to support them over time and to help manage their child's behaviour. (Original abstract)

In an 'Ie', a traditional Japanese household, the care for the elderly used to be given by a grown up child living together with them. This gave older people a sense of security. Socio economic changes in Japan after 1943 have altered 'Ie' and the nature of elderly care. However social services are not adequately available to the public especially in elderly care.
