Answer to Question 1

A profile of a potentially abusive parent includes fear of delivery, depression during the pregnancy, lack of support from husband or family, and the inability to tolerate the child's crying as a view that the child is being too demanding.

While persons who commit abuse are by no means a homogeneous group, they do tend to be victims of abuse themselves. They are not necessarily poor, acutely ill, or elderly.
