"Some child abuse is brought on by bad behavior, which is reinforced by improper methods of child-rearing, creating a vicious cycle," Ho Su-chiu says.

They also have to correct the child deviant behavior, so they need to employ extra skill and energy.
「有些被父母虐待的孩子，其實是本身行為頑劣導致，而父母教養方式不當，又更加強孩子的反叛行為，形成惡性循環」，何素秋表示，這時寄養父母的責任不止於照顧孩子的生活，還必須管教和矯正孩子的偏差行為；所以，接到這種個案的寄養父母就得加倍運用技巧和付出心力。
