<DIV>Lisa, I've heard the term "hostility sponge" used in describing the child who is singled out for abuse (because often the parent projects all of his/her hostility on a child because he looks like, acts like or reminds the parent of another an internal or external source of negative feelings).</DIV>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">Dear Colleagues,<BR>Years ago I heard the situation where one child is singled out for abuse<BR>while others are raised adequately(as in the infamous Eliza Izuierda case in<BR>New York City) referred to as "Cinderella Syndrome," but in a search I now<BR>find that term is used for an array of other situations that have nothing to<BR>do with child maltreatment.<BR><BR>Are people aware of another term used to describe this situation, or any<BR>literature on it? This query pertains to a case where a mother is torturing<BR>two of her children but raising the others okay. The two are children of a<BR>different father who is now out of the picture, but used to beat her. Any<BR>tips would be most appreciated. You can contact me off-list at:<BR>LFontes@rcn.com if you prefer.<BR>Thanks.<BR><BR>Lisa Fontes, Ph.D.<BR><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
