Sibling incest is an understudied field despite its high prevalence rates. The current study was designed to characterize the way children describe their experiences and perceptions following alleged sibling incest. The sample consisted of 20 forensic investigations with children who were referred to forensic investigation following suspected sibling incest. The age range of the children was between 6 and 12 years old, including 17 girls and three boys. Thematic analysis was conducted on all the interviews and the children's perceptions greatly echoed the ecological framework while they elaborated on three levels: family level, in which children discussed the context of the abuse and the disclosure; sibling level, in which children discussed their siblings' behaviors and the grooming process; and the child level, in which the children discussed their own behavior during the abuse. The discussion highlights the relevance of the ecological framework to the study's results and stresses the complexity of this phenomenon and the challenges it raises for practitioners in various contexts-child protective, forensic, and clinical.
尽管同胞乱伦发生率很高，但这仍是一个研究不足的领域。当前的研究旨在描述儿童在被指控发生同胞乱伦后描述其经历和看法的方式。样本包括20起涉及儿童的法医调查，这些儿童是在涉嫌同胞乱伦后被转介进行法医调查的。儿童的年龄范围在6至12岁之间，其中包括17名女孩和3名男孩。对所有访谈进行了主题分析，儿童的看法在很大程度上与生态框架相呼应，同时他们从三个层面进行了阐述：家庭层面，儿童讨论了虐待和披露的背景；同胞层面，儿童讨论了其同胞的行为和诱导过程；儿童层面，儿童讨论了自己在虐待期间的行为。讨论突出了生态框架与研究结果的相关性，并强调了这一现象的复杂性以及它在儿童保护、法医和临床等各种背景下给从业者带来的挑战。
