At least, some of what was available before (abuse and incest) is typically not recreated by labor.


Physical and sexual abuse are not exclusive (or even nearly so) to family...


But they are overwhelmingly more likely to happen in the family.


Re. sexual abuse, RAINN says 34% of child sexual abuse is by a relative. Unless you're replying to GP, specifically saying "incest is more likely to happen in the family" (which is definitionally true, but vacuous), this appears to be mistaken.

I remain to be convinced re. physical abuse, particularly from other children, particularly given what I know of adult care homes.
