Boys are victims of domestic violence JO - Annals of internal medicine SP - I38 EP - I38 VL - 143 IS - 8 N2 - Physical abuse in the home is all too common. Although abuse of intimate partners and girls gets much attention, boys also experience physical abuse in the home. Our understanding of abuse of boys is limited. In several surveys, 25% to 50% of men have reported physical abuse as children. Parents are the most frequent abusers of boys. One possible outcome is that boys who experience abuse become adults who inflict abuse on intimate partners and children. LA - SN - 0003-4819 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
