The service user I chose to assess is a 17-year-old Hispanic male whose modified name is Ricardo Sanchez. I provided casework services to Ricardo for two years in my previous role as a Therapeutic Caseworker at my current workplace, the Children’s Village, a foster care agency. Ricardo was placed in foster care after he was removed from his father’s care due to verbal and physical abuse. Ricardo’s father assumed his custody after Ricardo’s mother passed over a drug overdose when he was 15. This was Ricardo’s second time in foster care. Ricardo’s first foster care experience happened when he was 10 years-old as a result of alleged physical abuse by his mother, who at the time had full custody of Ricardo. The report was made by Ricardo’s third grade teacher after noticing bruises on Ricardo’s arms. At the time, Ricardo was only in foster care for two months as
In the case we are asked to look at with the two little girls, the office was alerted due to neglect and issues of locking the children away in order to not have contact with them and avoid physical discipline. Again having a large amount of experience with this personally I can speak on several different instances in which the agency needs to be involved. My middle son, again who is not my biological child, has 4, soon to be 6 other half siblings by his biological mother. None of which she has custody of. They have all been removed by CPS. In her case it was for the use of narcotics, in and around the children as well as during pregnancy with 4 of the 6 children she has. She is currently pregnant with number 5 and 6 of her living children though technically they are 9 and 10. She has previously had two singleton abortions and an abortion of a set of twin girls. She has had 4 other boys removed now, ages 5, 3, and a set of twin boys who are 18 months. CPS has already stated that the children she is pregnant with now will be removed as well upon their birth. So in a case such as hers, she was given a year to prove to the courts that she wanted to work towards keeping her twins, they set up visitation for her at the cps office, as well as classes for her to attend, weekly drug screens, parenting classes, and set financial goals she had to meet.

“In the United States, foster care operates on the local level, rather than on the national level” (Harris, 2004).The state’s division of social services and part of the state department of health and human services run the whole foster care service (Harris, 2004). The foster care system is great when
How Talia’s Law is Going to Help Children of Abusers Serving in the Military: Until the passage of Talia’s Law, child abuse allegations were handled completely differently Unfortunately, even though these individuals went through the proper channels and reported their suspicions to her father’s supervisor, CPS was never notified. One such instance involved a trip to the emergency room. Talia was taken to the emergency room, where a military doctor noted bruises and welts present and also was told by the child herself that her injuries were inflicted by her father. When the doctor confronted Talia’s father about it, he of course denied it. In the end, the doctor concluded the child must have made up her accusations.

She reported knowing about the abuse or neglect of the children. Ms. Leonard appears to need additional information about the abuse and/or neglect of the children because of not knowing what took place.
