Caretaker education has a possible range from “0” (none) to “17” (professional degree). Median value of parent's education was 13 across 5 subtypes, which indicates high school diploma. 1) In order to minimize the possible confounding of the impact of sibling cases, unit of analyses for caretaker and perpetrator characteristics as well as placement was family. n(Care Neglect) = 80, n(Environmental Neglect) = 93, n(Medical Neglect) =31, n(Educational Neglect) = 49, n(Supervisory Neglect) = 105.
