This follow-up study of 42 children abused in daycare suggests that even very small children confirm through their behavior and/or language that something distressing happened to them. Interviews with parents 15 years after the abuse suggest there are periods when children's recollection is persistent as well as times when it is unclear how much the child remembers. Results showed after 15 years, 40% of the children had made a satisfactory adjustment, 40% had made a marginal adjustment, and 20% had made a problematic adjustment.
这项针对42名在日托中心受虐儿童的后续研究表明，即使是非常小的孩子也会通过他们的行为和/或语言证实他们遭遇了一些令人痛苦的事情。虐待事件发生15年后对家长的访谈显示，孩子的记忆有时清晰持久，有时又不清楚他们究竟记住了多少。结果显示，15年后，40%的孩子调整得令人满意，40%的孩子调整得勉强及格，20%的孩子调整得有问题。
