Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Domestic and Sexual Violence: Discussion
12:10 pm
Ms Felicity Kennedy:
If a child is subjected to abuse, if that abuse is very forceful and ongoing and if the child is isolated, it may be more likely that the child may go on to be abusive. However, I am very careful in saying that because so many children do not go on to be abusive. So many young men grow up and this is the last thing they will do. There is a huge range of variables involved.
