      ab: ABSTRACT: Secondary data analysis of the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect, 1998 was conducted among 373 suspected and substantiated child sexual abuse investigations for which there was a female non-offending caregiver. Bivariate analysis and hierarchical logistic regression was conducted to determine the association between caregiver, child, household, abuse, and investigation characteristics with negative maternal response. The majority of female non-offending caregivers' demonstrated belief of the sexual abuse disclosure, provided emotional support and protection from further abuse (87.1%). The overall maternal response model was significant and accounted for 40.8% of the variance (Nagelkerke R2). Predictors significantly associated with negative maternal response were caregiver mental illness, child age, sexualized behavior and developmental delay among children, duration of abuse, child's relationship to the perpetrator, and co-occurring maltreatment. Despite the number of risk factors examined, female non-offending caregivers investigated as part of the CIS-98 responded with belief of the disclosure, emotional support, and protection from further abuse.
