This study examined CPS involvement of children surviving the CMF of a sibling as well as predictors of subsequent CPS reports.
Department of Human Services and Child Death Review Board data about children who died from a CMF during 1993-2003 ( = 416) and their siblings in the state of Oklahoma were used to examine CPS involvement and predictors of subsequent CPS reports for surviving siblings.
Surviving siblings of a victim of a CMF experienced substantial CPS involvement; 81% of the original victims had siblings who were subsequently reported to CPS ( = 1,840). Original victim and family characteristics that predicted a greater rate of siblings' subsequent reports to CPS included younger original victim age, greater number of children in the original victim's home, and more previous reports of the original victim to CPS.
A large portion of families with a CMF struggle to adequately care for their surviving children. Such families may need additional support after a CMF.
本研究考察了儿童幸存于同胞的 CMF 后儿童保护服务（CPS）的介入情况，以及随后 CPS 报告的预测因素。
利用 1993 年至 2003 年期间俄克拉荷马州儿童保护服务部门和儿童死亡审查委员会的数据，对因 CMF 而死亡的儿童（n=416）及其兄弟姐妹进行了分析，以考察幸存兄弟姐妹的 CPS 介入情况和随后 CPS 报告的预测因素。
CMF 受害者的幸存兄弟姐妹经历了大量的 CPS 介入；81%的原始受害者有随后被 CPS 报告的兄弟姐妹（n=1840）。预测兄弟姐妹随后向 CPS 报告的比率更高的原始受害者和家庭特征包括：原始受害者年龄较小、原始受害者家中的儿童数量较多，以及原始受害者之前向 CPS 报告的次数较多。
很大一部分经历 CMF 的家庭难以充分照顾其幸存的孩子。此类家庭在 CMF 后可能需要额外的支持。
