Domestic Violence, Abuse and Neglect

I would strongly advise against the measure to remove neglect and emotional abuse from the definition of maltreatment in Oregon. It is important to note that neglect is the most reported and substantiated type of maltreatment, with 771,000 children reportedly suffering from abuse. Neglect can take many forms, and in some cases the signs may not be clear right away. Children may be wearing dirty clothes, or wearing summer clothes in the middle of winter. Other signs could be that the child is hungry all the time and as a result hoards foods, and steals. Children suffering from neglect may also have poor hygiene, or other medical issues. Parents of these children may not have the community help necessary in order to raise a child correctly.

Domestic Violence is one of the most occurring situations found in the United States. This form of violence, also known as spousal abuse, happens within a relationship that is intimate or within a marriage. This particular issue seems to be found to affect women more often than men in varying ways such as injury or even death. Some of the injuries found in domestic violence cases are the head, neck, chest, face, breast, and abdomen, which are the most frequently injured. Many people believe that domestic violence is something that pertains to physical damage, but it has more of a psychological affect. The emotional aspect of domestic violence seems to be overlooked because one’s idea may vary

Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behaviors, which some individuals use to control others in their family or home. Most domestic violence starts with emotional abuse which can lead to verbal abuse. When a person you love or care about break you down by saying, “No one want to be with you, you are ugly, you cannot make it without me and you would not be successful or you better not do something or I will beat you.” Verbal abuse can make a

There's a growing trend of domestic abuse in the United States, and large cities like New York can see more than their fair share of abuse cases. There are people who desperately need to leave their current abusive situations, but unfortunately, many cases are being brought before the courts that are not real abuse cases.

A term that is quite often used in today’s society is family violence, more specifically child abuse and spousal abuse. A term that is not heard often is elder abuse, which is unfortunate due to the fact that it is a fairly common occurrence. It was estimated that in 2009, one in ten elderly Americans were victims of elder abuse within the previous year (Acierno, 2010). Even though elder abuse is prevalent here in America, it is seldom that this phenomenon is actually discussed.

Domestic violence has been around for quite the time, but it wasn’t until recently that it has been taken far more seriously. Neglect is important, pernicious, and very life-threatening. It is part of the methodical plan in which a person strives to gain power or control over another individual, or individuals. To assure such power, the perpetrator can use one, two, or three of neglects main reinforcements; physical, sexual, and or psychological. Physical violence can be the act of physically harming an individual, whether it be punching, kicking, or slapping. Sexual violence is attempting or demanding a man, woman, or child into sexual activities with him or herself, and psychological violence can

Domestic violence is aggressive behavior within the home, generally involving the abuse of a spouse or partner in order to gain control or maintain power over another. This type of violence can be sexual, physical, emotional, or even psychological in which these threats influence the other person. It is not only about physical abuse, it’s the consistent pattern of behaviors that are used to make the victim feel threatened and manipulated.

Unfortunately, seven years have now passed and Aaron now has a domestic violence (DV) criminal case pending as well as a possible child abuse case for the abuse of his son. It seems that Aaron has been having a lot of problem lately with the law as well as personal. However, those problem didn’t just start because as a child he had two adjudications of delinquency and served six months in a juvenile detention center for his actions. Yet, he did not learn his lesson from his younger actions and has now been arrested four times for aggravated assault as well as domestic battery that led to one conviction. Furthermore, he has been arrested two times for driving under the influence (DUI), and one of his DUI cases is slated for trial in three months. Therefore, he may be facing another conviction as well as some time in jail and fines once again for the DUI.

All forms of domestic abuse have one purpose: to gain and maintain control over the victim. The actual act of domestic abuse comes in many forms; aggravated assault, kidnapping, sexual abuse, forcible touching, stalking, kidnapping, sexual misconduct, and attempted murder are just to name a few. According to Amy Lehrner and Nicole Allen, domestic violence is battery as an intentional pattern of abusive behaviors by one partner against the other which results in establishing and maintaining the abuser’s power and control over the other. (Lehrner & Allen, 2008) Victims tend to stay in abusive relationships for many different reasons. Some see their abusers as powerful and believe they cannot escape, they also fear retaliation, and are often beaten or intimidating into

Many children are abused, maltreated and neglected. Many of these children are taken away from their parents and put into the foster care system where they have to depend on people and the government to take care of them. These children are sometimes abused, maltreated, neglected and some of them even die in the system. These children need to be advocated for and social workers are the one who steps in to make sure that they are taken care of the way that they should be. In this paper I am going to be discussing the abuse, maltreatment and neglect that these children go through and how social worker come in to help these children to make sure they are safe.

Domestic violence and other lifetime disturbance can have significant mental health effects. Although symptoms often recover or decline with increased safety and social support, maltreatment may sometimes have longer-term health and mental health effects. The disturbing effects of abuse can affect an individual’s ability to access safety, restore from trauma, and to pursue lifetime goals. In addition to that, living with mental health disorders or addiction upsurges a person’s risk of experiencing abuse in the future. Experience to ongoing abuse can also intensify symptoms and affect recovery. During these traumatic events, there are organizations that could help lessen domestic violence such as:

Domestic violence can happen to anyone. It knows no race, color, or religion or what kind of degree you have or if you don’t have one.

It is physical, psychological, and sexual abuse that can include rape, belittling, jealousness, and controlling behaviors, which can include keeping the victim from their family or telling them who they can and can’t be friends with.

The issue of child abuse and neglect is serious, controversial, and is escalating in today’s society. Many people are not aware, but child abuse is rampant in our society. Many child abuse and neglect cases go unreported because a person may not know the signs and symptoms of child abuse and neglect or perhaps the person or person may feel that this is an private issue and needs to be handle with in the home and no outsiders should be involved. Without the proper awareness of child abuse and neglect and the involvement of everyone this issue will continue to raise our eyebrows.
