According to the Dept. of Justice study "Murder in Families", mothers account for 55% of fatal child abuse committed by anyone. Fathers account for 8%, stepfathers/boyfriends for 10%, and stepmothers/girlfriends for 9%. The numbers remain the same when taking custody arrangements into consideration. That male child accounts for over 90% of the victims, and generally, the mother was also abusive toward the father. As a father has no place to go for help with his children, when he gets driven out, the male child takes his place as the target. Men account for 39% of domestic violence victims.
