Which is the most reliable predictor of recurring harm?

Lack of remorse from the perpetrator
Socio-economic status of the family
Verified prior maltreatment
Number of siblings

The correct answer is: Verified prior maltreatment

Verified prior maltreatment is the most reliable predictor of recurring harm because it indicates a pattern of harmful behavior, and therefore increases the likelihood of future harm. Lack of remorse from the perpetrator and socio-economic status of the family may be contributing factors, but they are not necessarily reliable indicators of recurring harm. Similarly, the number of siblings may play a role in a child's safety, but it is also not a conclusive predictor of recurring harm. Therefore, while the other options may be factors to consider, they are not as reliable as verified prior maltreatment.
