Three-quarters of children have faced abuse in sport and boys are more likely to be victims than girls, a study of more than 10,000 individuals

File Photo: Children play in the water during low tide in the Arabian Sea at sunset in Mumbai on November 1, 2020. AFPThe most common form of abuse suffered by children taking part in sport outside of school was psychological, ranging from a lack of praise to humiliating treatment, the European Union-funded study shows.

“Our findings are obviously of great concern. We have seen a number of high-profile cases of child abuse in sport in recent times, but this research helps us to understand the scale of the problem more clearly,” Hartill said. Hartill, a specialist in the sociology of sport, said the absence of praise or encouragement was often cited as a form of abuse.

They were asked to complete an online questionnaire distributed by polling company Ipsos MORI, with interesting answers triggering further questions from researchers.Across all countries, with the exception of Austria, boys were significantly more likely to experience violence.
