This is the first article to analyze children’s involvement in technology-facilitated coercive control in Australia. The primary research question was ‘‘How do mothers describe their children’s involvement in technology-facilitated coercive control?”. This article is based on incidental findings from a larger study on Australian women’s experiences of technology-facilitated abuse in the context of domestic violence. Although children were not the focus of the study, semi-structured interviews with twelve mothers yielded discussion of children’s involvement in the abuse. We used thematic analysis to identify key dynamics and contexts of this abuse. We found that mothers and their children are co-victims of coercive control. Mothers interviewed for the study reported that children were involved in technology-facilitated coercive control directly and indirectly. This study bridges the gap between the extant research on children and coercive control and technology-facilitated abuse by highlighting the ways children are involved in technology-facilitated coercive control. The social and legal contexts of co-parenting with abusive fathers exposed mothers and children to ongoing post-separation abuse, extending abusive fathers’ absent presence in the lives of children

这是第一篇分析澳大利亚儿童参与技术促进强制控制的文章。主要研究问题是“母亲如何描述他们的孩子参与技术促进的强制控制？”。本文基于对澳大利亚妇女在家庭暴力背景下遭受技术辅助性虐待的更大规模研究的偶然发现。虽然儿童不是研究的重点，但对十二位母亲的半结构化访谈产生了关于儿童参与虐待的讨论。我们使用主题分析来确定这种滥用的关键动态和背景。我们发现母亲和她们的孩子是强制控制的共同受害者。接受该研究采访的母亲报告说，儿童直接或间接地参与了技术促进的强制控制。本研究通过突出儿童参与技术促进的强制性控制的方式，弥合了现有的儿童研究与强制性控制和技术促进的虐待之间的差距。与虐待父亲共同抚养的社会和法律环境使母亲和孩子暴露在分居后持续的虐待中，使虐待父亲在孩子的生活中缺席
