The subsequent life events and development of 50 abused Liverpool children who had been removed from their parents and taken into the care of the Local Authority have been determined. Information was obtained by interviewing the district social worker responsible for each child's supervision. Medical progress and school performance was assessed in each case. Following their period in care, 26 children have had an unsatisfactory outcome indicated by the presence, either alone or in combination, of abnormal physical development, emotional disturbance, poor educational progress and occurrence of further abuse. Rehabilitation at home after varying periods of time was attempted for 25 children, five of whom suffered further abuse. The prognosis was worse the older the child on reception into care and the more placements while in care. The children who best survived their experiences after being taken into care were those for whom an early decision was made to sever parental contact and to place the child permanently with a substitute family.
已确定50名受虐待的利物浦儿童的后续生活事件及成长情况，这些儿童已被带离父母身边，由地方当局照管。通过与负责监管每名儿童的地区社会工作者面谈获取信息。对每个案例的医疗进展和学业表现进行了评估。在接受照管期间，26名儿童出现了不理想的结果，表现为身体发育异常、情绪困扰、学业进展不佳以及再次遭受虐待等情况单独或综合出现。对25名儿童尝试在不同时间段后让其回家进行康复，但其中5名儿童再次遭受虐待。儿童进入照管时年龄越大，以及在照管期间更换寄养家庭的次数越多，预后越差。在被照管后能最好地从经历中挺过来的儿童，是那些早期就决定切断与父母的联系并将其永久安置在替代家庭的孩子。
