In a study of child maltreatment, mothers who began childbearing as younger adolescents (age 17 years or younger), older adolescents (age 18 to 19 years), or adults (age 20 to 24 years) did not differ regarding child maltreatment or maternal self - perceptions of competence, depressive symptoms, or most aspects of social support. Socio demographic risk factors persisted into later life for adolescent childbearers. Among younger adolescent childbearers (age 17 years or younger), mothers of maltreated and non maltreated children did not differ on self -perceptions of social support, competence, or depressive symptoms. Socio demographic differences between these two groups suggested that younger adolescent childbearers who do not overcome socio demographic deficits common to early childbearing are at greatest risk for child maltreatment.
