Sabastian was ordered to have weekly weight checks. It is believed that Gabriella and Shomari do not feed Sabastian properly. There were also concerns about the white area of Sabastian’s eye. The process had begun to refer Sabastian to a specialist. Sabastian was last seen 2/21/18; a visit was scheduled for the week of 2/26-3/2/18, but he had the flu. Gabriella and Shomari received new parent support, 1 on 1 parent support with basic infant care and being able to parent. Although Gabriella and Shomari received parenting support, they were unable to demonstrate what they’ve learned. Gabriella and Sabastian moved to MS to live with Rhonda (maternal grandmother) on 3/3/18. Shomari remains in North Carolina waiting to be discharged from the Navy. After being discharged Shomari will also move to MS. Rhonda is a social worker; she has guardianship of Gabriella’s oldest son (unknown).

In 1990, Arizona State University (ASU) researchers collected over 200 blood samples from members of the Havasupai Indian tribe. Tribe representatives claimed that when discussing with researchers before the start of the study, they were told that it would focus on diabetes research, although the consent form described the project as studying “the causes of behavioral/medical disorders” (Mello and Wolf 2010, 204). The samples were used for many studies, and were even shared with other investigators. The main uses the tribe disagreed with were a study on schizophrenia, a study examining inbreeding, and a study on evolutionary-genetics that contradicted with the Havasupai’s origin story. The Havasupai filed a $50 million lawsuit against Arizona

Another possible intervention I would have made to help Izzie was to recommend a different program aside from Family House. As a professional, it is expected that social workers would be aware about the policies of the facility and be astute and prudent enough to anticipate that Izzie’s eldest son will not be allowed to stay in the facility. It is the responsibility of the social worker to make recommendations appropriate to a case in relation to what services and facilities are available within a state (Barrow and Lawinski, 2009). I would have realized that separating Izzie from her eldest son would only make it difficult for the family and I would have made an effort to choose a facility that can both provide the therapy Izzie needed and

320 U. S. 81, 320 U. S. 105, does not constitute a jurisdictional bar to this current Court's choosing applicant's test to his burglary conviction, since the potential outcomes of unfavorable security impacts to him from that conviction give the case an enemy cast and make it justiciable. Pp. 395 U. S. 787-791.

Javon was placed in therapeutic foster by order of the court on October 2, 2015. His previous guardian, Ms. Terrell had sought psychological testing for Javon on numerous occasions, but never felt she was able to access the community resources and after-care appropriate help for Javon’s diagnoses.

The impact of the Havasupai case further drew out the already existing negative relations between the medical community and native tribes. Nanibaa’ Garrison speaks on this relationship: “as a consequence of the Havasupai case and prior instances of genetic research injustices, many tribes continue to refuse participation in genetic research despite researchers’ ongoing efforts to recruit them” (Garrison 2013, 204). Many tribes including the Havasupai set up formal orders banishing researchers from stepping on to their reservations and halting all current and future research, “even that which might benefit the tribe” (204). Researchers and IRB members also show signs of wanting to take further action to protect themselves from lawsuits. Many mentioned that they would shift toward
