Problem:
Researchers have demonstrated that child abuse, especially sexual abuse, was related to suicidal behavior in Canada, the United States, and Australia (Afifi et al., 2016; Cero & Sifers, 2013; Davies & Jones, 2013; Devries et al., 2014; Martin, Dykxhoorn, Afifi, & Colman, 2016). However, child abuse and suicidal behavior has not been evaluated in the Hong Kong community in the past decade despite the increasing incidence of child abuse in Hong Kong over that period. The rising number of the child abuse cases reported by the Social Welfare Department (SWD) reflects the trend of increased child abuse in Hong Kong (SWD, 2015). Additionally, previous researchers have reported that the annual child maltreatment hospitalization rate in 2001 was 31.0 per 10,000 children, and it increased to 73.4 per 10,000 in 2010 (Ip et al., 2016). In addition, the movement to develop new policies for preventing child abuse has been slow. The Family Conflict and Sexual Violence Policy Unit and the Child Protection Policy Unit were formally established in October, 1997 (Hong Kong Police Force, 2016), yet the number of child abuse cases has been increasing annually. There were 589 registered child abuse cases in 2005, which increased to 874 in 2015 (SWD, 2015). The figure indicates that child abuse in Hong Kong became worse and the damages to children increased.
