Child abuse victims by relationship

Article here. From 2006. Excerpt:
'This pie chart shows that 39.9 percent of child victims were maltreated by their mothers acting alone; another 17.6 percent were maltreated by their fathers acting alone; 17.8 percent were abused by both their mother and father. Victims abused by a nonparental perpetrator accounted for 10.0 percent.'

DV and Child Abuse
When feminists started pushing the narrative about how men abuse women, they knew that mothers were more likely than fathers to abuse children. Their solution was to say child abuse is not domestic violence and to ignore or cover it up as much as possible, just as they ignored or covered up evidence of women abusing men. Anything to make men look bad and women look good.
The irony is that by calling attention to DV, scientists began to study it and learned that as much DV is committed by women as men. We now have dozens of studies confirming this. The real irony: the most abusive relationships are between two women. Studies show that lesbians report the highest number of incidents of DV of any group.
Unfortunately, DV prevention is still largely in the hands of feminists, thanks largely to VAWA, and they still ignore violence by women against men and violence by women against children. I've concluded it's because they don't care about men or children, only about women. And if they admit the truth, their funding will dry up.
Feminism is largely about creating power for women by presenting them as victims--and so they can't admit men and children might be victims or they lose their power. And they especially can't admit women might victimize others. That destroys the entire narrative.
