<p>Child and adolescent-to-parent violence and abuse is regarded as one of the most unacknowledged and under-researched forms of family violence. This is also true in respect of Nigeria. Nigeria is a conservative society with honor-based cultures where familial reputation and social standing are prioritized, incidents of child and adolescent-to-parent violence are rarely studied, and little consideration is given to parents’ experiences and responses to children’s aggression. To address this, a qualitative study was conducted with purposively selected parents who considered they had suffered violence and abuse by their children, and their perceived causes, abusive experiences, and responses were explored. Seventeen face-to-face interviews were conducted, and the narratives were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings indicate that aggressive children use various tactics in the child-to-parent violence from a young age and worsen in their adolescence. Factors such as ignorance, adherence to cultural dictates and religious doctrines, and holding on to superstitious beliefs were found to have strong impacts on parents’ help-seeking and reporting behaviors. The study highlights the need to take into account cultural, socio-economic, and legal factors, as well as the role of family dynamics in creating an effective policy to address child-to-parent violence in Nigeria.</p>
