Risk factors for child sexual abuse include being female, having a physical or mental disability, living without a natural parent, parental mental illness, parental alcohol or drug dependency, and young maternal age.
“Risk factors for child sexual abuse, mainly identified in Western countries, include being female (Fergusson 1996), having a physical or mental disability (Westcott 1999), living without a natural parent (Finkelhor 1986;Finkelhor 1990), parental mental illness, parental alcohol or drug dependency, and young maternal age (Fergusson 1996;Holmes 1998;MacMillan 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
