Final answer:
It is not accurate or ethical to claim that a physically abused toddler, such as John, is 'most likely' to be from a specific racial or ethnic group. Child abuse can occur in any group. Among the provided options, the captain of the football team is least likely to be targeted for bullying.
Step-by-step explanation:
The information provided suggests that the question refers to the likelihood of child abuse among different racial or ethnic groups. It is important to clarify that child abuse occurs across all racial and ethnic groups and is not more likely based on an individual's race or ethnicity alone. Patterns of abuse are complex and influenced by a variety of factors, including socioeconomic status, family dynamics, community resources, and access to support services. Therefore, it would be incorrect and unethical to assert that John, a toddler who has been physically abused, is 'most likely' to be from any specific racial or ethnic group based solely on his situation.
Regarding the question about bullying, research has shown that certain groups of adolescents are at higher risk of being targeted for bullying than others. Among the options provided, the captain of the football team is least likely to be targeted for bullying, generally because of their perceived social status and physical prowess which can often protect them from being targeted by bullies. Adolescents with physical disabilities, transgender adolescents, and emotionally sensitive boys may face more challenges and be vulnerable to bullying due to difference, perceived weakness, or non-conformity to social norms.
