A group of 110 children placed in foster care as a result of sexual abuse was compared with a matched sample of children who entered foster care for other reasons. Descriptive findings showed that children in both groups had similar profiles in terms of behavioral problems and other attributes. However, results of a life-table analysis indicated that sexually abused children exit foster care for planned permanent living arrangements at a significantly faster rate than nonsexually abused children. Though foster care should remain a last-resort option in most cases, these results suggest that it can be concluded more quickly for sexually abused children than for victims of other types of maltreatment, given that adequate controls are also implemented to avoid revictimization.
一组因遭受性虐待而被安置在寄养家庭的110名儿童与一组因其他原因进入寄养家庭的匹配儿童样本进行了比较。描述性研究结果表明，两组儿童在行为问题和其他特征方面具有相似的概况。然而，生命表分析结果表明，遭受性虐待的儿童离开寄养家庭以获得有计划的永久生活安排的速度明显快于未遭受性虐待的儿童。尽管在大多数情况下，寄养照料应仍然是最后的手段，但这些结果表明，对于遭受性虐待的儿童，在实施充分控制以避免再次受害的情况下，与其他类型虐待的受害者相比，可以更快地得出寄养照料可以结束的结论。
