Rationale: Children who are hit by their parents exhibit more than double the rate of violence against siblings than children whose parents do not hit them. Hitting children increases the probability that they will be violent. Parents should not be complacent about sibling aggression; siblings cause 3% of all child homicides in the United States. Most adults in a position to know about violent confrontations and relationships (parents, faculty, police, medically trained personnel) have an awareness of sibling and peer violence that is very low.
