See: Stier DM. Leventhal JM. Berg AT. Johnson L. Mezger J. Are
children born to young<br>
mothers at increased risk of maltreatment?. [Journal Article] Pediatrics.
91(3):642-8, 1993 Mar. <br>

Also, you might want to check <i>Child Maltreatment 1999</i>. It is
on the web at:

This report tells you the % of perpetrators of maltreatment who were
teens, although it doesn't tell you the % of teen parents perpetrate
maltreatment.<br>
