Child Abuse Case Study

In American society today we fail to address several issues that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, child abuse is one of the major issues that our country is plagued with, yet we neglect to bring this to the attention of the entire nation. It is often over looked because everyone has a different view of what exactly defines child abuse. The International Child Abuse Network (ICAN) uses four basis catigories to docunment the child abuse cases. They are: emotional abuse, neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. I will be describing the first three.

On 4/4/17, Hennepin County Child Protection accepted a report of alleged neglect and failure to ensure the education of her child, Leo Washington, by mother, Kristen Letellier. Per reporter Leo has 9 full unexcused days.

Imagine peacefully resting in a crib, decorated whimsically with pastels and covered lusciously in white linens. As sleep is rapidly approaching, and your eyelids are just beginning to close, a startling series of loud crashes and startling bangs rattle throughout the house. An angry and drunken father staggers wildly in the hallway outside your room, blaming all of his adversities on his hellish amalgamation of a family. His wife is standing behind him, begging and pleading for him to restrain himself, while she begins spiraling into hysterics. The door slams open, and a pair of monstrous hands rip you violently from your crib. You begin to join your mother in the aforementioned hysterics, unaware of the chaos currently consuming your family.

Nice post! You made some really valid points in regards to those interested in child protect need to be exposed to child abuse scenarios so that you can be accustom to it. As a dispatcher I have experienced my share of suicide calls to the point nothing of a graphic nature bothers, I am still nervous because I know officers and citizens are depending on me to help a saved life. My gut reaction watching this video was how can you ignored your child as though they do not exist. I am amazed by Angela though her life is crumbling and scars invade her life she finds the strength to go on even if she had too alone. She attended school and took care of herself to the best of her ability. There are a few children who would have been searching for a

In closing, it is amazing how traumatic experiences impact the brain and behavior of an individual. In my client’s situation, abuse and trauma were primary issues in her early development. I felt her traumatic experience and bullying caused her to have low self-esteem. She expressed that it was hard for her to form positive relationships with the opposite sex. Change does not happen overnight and it based upon the willingness and motivation of the client. I find that instead of placing judgment on teens, adults should educate their self about this population and find ways to understand their experiences and work together to develop solutions. Clients look to clinicians for emotional dependency and nurturance that was missing in their life.

On 03/01/2017, Hennepin Child Protection accepted a report alleged neglect. Per reporter Ms. Simms dropped Isiah of at the bridge and refused to take him back home.

An 8-year-old girl is admitted to the emergency department, immaculately dressed, with many bruises and welts on her arms and legs. Her mother states she was hurt on the playground.

Childhood sexual abuse is a difficult topic to comprehend let alone have open discussion about the issue. I know for me, I cannot fathom someone wanting to hurt a child in this way, but then I wonder what makes a person have the desire to afflict such a traumatic experience on a child. The reading this week did not answer the questions I have, but it did give me a better understanding on how people cope with these experiences.

Discuss the relationships of the various components, strategies, the impact and interactions they may all have.

Patients who have struggled through neglect and abuse can have angry or aggressive tones of sweetness. The patients desire more attention since they have never received it.

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is a growing social concern. Statistics reveal approximately a quarter of young adults experience sexual abuse during childhood with a further 1,761 aged 18-24 years (Lantern Project, 2012). Rates were appointed at 2,160 amongst the younger generation from 0-11. However, the highest prevalence age; ranges between 11-17, with 2,275 children affected (Lantern Project, 2012). CSA is socially constructed and remarkably influenced by the culture, resulting in complications to establish a universally agreed definition. Moreover, CSA can be seen as "forcing or enticing a child to take part in sexual activity" (Sanderson, 2006). Sexualized behavior can range from contact and/or non-contact sexual experiences, such as exposure

On February 25, 2016, I, Deputy John Arnold, was dispatched to the corner of West 176th Street South and South 97th West Avenue to meet with Mandy Swigert in reference to Child Sex Abuse.

Mark is a 30-year-old Hispanic male. Born in Pennsylvania, but raised between New York and Florida. He was raised by both parents until the age of 2 and then raised by his mother and a stepdad. Mark had a good childhood and did not encounter any child abuse as a child, was only spank sometimes by his mother as disciplined. He has lots of siblings, five brothers and two sisters. Mark has no mental health, does not take medication, no depression or anxiety and denies the usage of drug or alcohol.

These are activities that are targeted at members of the community and general population with the aim to raise awareness about the problems of child abuse. It involves an approach that targets helping families and children before child abuse occurs and not intervening after the harm has been done. This is very essential as every child deserves to grow up and be nurtured in an environment that is safe and stable which helps in the child’s total development such as the physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components. These strategies can be via a myriad of programs such as educational programs via public awareness programs, public service announcements, parent education groups, child educational programs, family support and strengthening programs.
