Children’s Memory for Instances of Repeated Events

Due to calls for reform of legislation that accounts for the difficulties complainants of repeated child sexual abuse (CSA) face when asked to particularize individual acts, jurisdictions in the United States and Australia have adopted continuous CSA statutes. Continuous CSA statutes allow for reduced particularity of individual instances when abuse is repeated. In this article, we discuss particularization requirements and how they are adapted in current jurisdictions in the United States and Australia with continuous CSA statutes. We then discuss the relevant research on children’s memory for repeated events and frequency to discuss how current and future research can inform the criteria for the charge. Our goal in this article is to inspire thoughtful discussion of continuous CSA legislation, and how current and future psychological research can advance the criteria for the charge. As more jurisdictions consider adopting these statutes, it would be helpful for psychologists and legal professionals to work toward developing a consensus on the criteria for the charge that balances both the victim’s capabilities to particularize repeated CSA and various rights of the accused.

Children's Memory Scale

Background:Systemic Lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid disease are very common autoimmune diseases in women at reproductive age.Objectives:Evaluate the neuro-developmental outcome in children born to mothers with SLE or APS and to assess and characterize memory impairment in children’s born to mother with systemic lupus erythematosus or APS using children’s memory scale and the relation between tetrahydrobiopterin concentration range of children with developmental and neurological disorders.Methods:Women attending rheumatology clinics University of Asyut, SLE patients were eligible if they met the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for SLE and APL prior to pregnancy, and had at least one live birth following SLE diagnosis. Maternal history Data collected using a structured format that included medical and obstetric history. A detailed history of medication exposures and the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) during pregnancy was obtained. Offspring history Medical and developmental histories of the offspring including antenatal, delivery, prenatal and pediatric histories, as child’s cognitive, physical or social maturity compared with established age-appropriate norms. Speech or hearing delays, diagnosis of attention- deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or any special educational needs (eg, occupational or speech therapy, behavioral counseling) was recorded. Assessment and characterization of memory impairment using children’s memory scale by neurologists. Tetrahydrobiopterin was measured by ELISA compared to children born to control healthy subjects of the same age and sex.Results:Data on 38 mothers and 60 offspring were analysed: ADHD was reported for 15 of 60 (25%) offspring. Recent memory delay was detected in 93% (14/15) Speech delay 40% (6/15). Maternal APS history was significantly associated with increased use special educational need among offsprings, including after adjustment for lupus anticoagulant (LA) positivity (39.4% for delays age >2 years; p<0.05). Anticardiolipin and anti-BETA2GP1 were not detected to be associated with delays. Recent memory delay was associated with increased Tetrahydrobiopterin level (P=0.01).Conclusion:The prevalence of neurodevelopmental abnormalities in children born to mothers with SLE or APS seems to be higher than normal population and more educational attention is important in these children, and need long-term follow-up.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract Background Children with brain and central nervous system (CNS) tumors experience substantial challenges to their quality of life during their disease course. These challenges are opportunities for increased subspecialty palliative care (PC) involvement. Palliative opportunities have been defined in the pediatric oncology population, but the frequency, timing, and factors associated with palliative opportunities in pediatric patients with CNS tumors are unknown. Methods A single-institution retrospective review was performed on children ages 0-18 diagnosed with a CNS tumor who died between 01/01/2012-11/30/2017. Nine palliative opportunities were defined prior to data collection (progression; relapse; admission for severe symptoms; intensive care admission; bone marrow transplant; phase 1 trial; hospice; do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order). Demographic, disease, treatment, palliative opportunity, and end-of-life data were collected. Opportunities were evaluated over quartiles from diagnosis to death. Results Amongst 101 patients with a median age at death of eight years (Interquartile range, IQR=8.0, range 0-22), there was a median of seven (IQR=6) palliative opportunities per patient, which increased closer to death. PC consultation occurred in 34 (33.7%) patients, at a median of 2.2 months before death, and was associated with having a DNR order (p=0.0028). Hospice was involved for 72 (71.3%) patients. Conclusion Children with CNS tumors suffered repeated events warranting PC yet received PC support only one-third of the time. Mapping palliative opportunities over the cancer course promotes earlier timing of PC consultation which can decrease suffering and resuscitation attempts at the end-of-life.
