    Reading comprehension：

    　　Stress brought on by a variety of social conditions raises the risk of child abuse(虐待)within a family．These conditions include unemployment, illness, poor housing conditions, a larger-than-average family size, the presence of a new baby or a disabled person in the home, and the death of a family member．A large majority of reported cases of child abuse come from families living in poverty．Child abuse also occurs in middle-class and wealthy families, but it is better reported among the poor for several reasons．Wealthier families have an easier time hiding abuse because they have less contact with social agencies than poor families．In addition, social workers, physicians, and others who report abuse take it for granted that children from poor families are victims of abuse more often than children from rich families．

    　　Alcohol and drug use, common among abusive parents, may make the situation worse and stimulate violent behavior．Certain characteristics of children, such as mental illness or physical or developmental disabilities, can also increase the stress of parenting and the risk of abuse．

    　　In the United States many types of social programs, usually at the county or state levels, have attempted to reduce and prevent child abuse．Current ways involve identifying high-risk parents-such as young, single, first-time mothers-and providing parental skills training, counseling, education, and social support．Often trained social workers or nurses provide this support by visiting the family's home on a regular basis, encouraging community contact, and expanding the caretaker's knowledge about available social services．

    　　However, many prevention and treatment programs may not reduce the incidence of child abuse significantly．Studies indicate that the more intervention(干涉)services a family receives, the more abuse occurs in the family．Intensive family preservation programs, for example, provide short-term relief, but they do not seem to reduce ill treatment of children, especially in the homes providing parental care to the children not related through blood ties．
