A Incorrect: A child being raised by grandparents is not necessarily in a high-risk family for abuse. The characteristics of the grandparents would have to be known.
B Correct: Children at high risk for less nurturing and more hurtful behavior live in a family system that has little contact with community groups such as school or church. These children are not involved in after-school activities and are not allowed to play with other neighborhood children.
C Incorrect: A child being raised by two men is not necessarily in a high-risk situation for abuse.
D Incorrect: A child in a nuclear family there both parents have full-time jobs is probably not in a high-risk family for abuse. One of the risk factors for abuse is stress. Families who spend increased time together under stressful conditions may not have appropriate social supports. Examples of this type of stress are poverty and unemployment.
