'Ureaplasma urealyticum' and large colony mycoplasma colonization in female children and its relationship to sexual contact, age, and race
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine whether there is a direct relationship between ureaplasma urealyticum or large colony mycoplasma and record of sexual violation among children. Respondents were 416 girls, 1 to 12 years old, who were divided into three groups. Group 1 was composed of children who were abused or infected with sexually transmitted diseases, Group 2, abused or infected but were highly exposed to the risk, and Group 3, without any sexual abuse experience and were least likely to be abused. Findings revealed that ureaplasma urealyticum and large colony mycoplasma are not related to history of sexual abuse.

Battered children grown up: a follow-up study of individuals severely maltreated as children
Article Abstract:
Nineteen individuals harshly maltreated as children who had been part of a 1963 study, showed various life outcomes. Several exercised limited independence and exhibited few adult coping skills. Other respondents had established social ties and were entrenched in their family lives and jobs. However, marked suspiciousness and resentment were noted from the group. Some sought out birth parents alienated in childhood while others maintained ties with their troubled parents. Several appear to lead normal lives.

The implications of such results to Hon Kong's social policy are presented.
