Why is it important?
This is one of the few ethical discussions of research on the topic of violence, with children.
Perspectives
Consulting children is essential for collecting data on child maltreatment. The success of children's contribution to research depends on the adopted methodologies; caregivers' power to decline consent for their children's participation in research on maltreatment can alter epidemiologic data and impede children's right to express their opinions on issues that are central to their lives and therefore, should be waived.
