Discussion #4
You have been assigned to a case to review.
You learn that the father had custody of the children and the mother in incarcerated for mistreating her three small elementary age children.
What do you look for as signs of distress? The parenting style will be the first sign, there for this family will display signs of neglectful parenting. You may notice that the father may seem uninvolved to much of what is really going on in the home. There is already a rift in the family because the mother is incarcerated and the oldest daughter has stepped up to take on the role of the mother for the younger children. While the father may seem absentee he is relying on the older daughter, this allow the father to be even more distant and less
Child abandonment/child neglect can be noticed throughout the case. Kellie and Lachaux leaving the two kids home by themselves without any supervision,
Reporter believes the children are being molested by the father. It's unknown if the mother has been involved or not. Reporter believes this because it was stated by some children in the neighborhood that they had been messed with. Reporter is not sure if the step-children have been abused or neglected. They (Skylar, Kinsley) come to the home on the weekends. They live with their mother. Reporter is not sure the exact words being said. Reporter believes DHS has been out about the same thing. Reporter didn't think it was a good idea to speak with the children. Reporter is not sure if they need immediate medical attention. They probably have bruising on their legs. Reporter is unsure where the bruising came from. It's unknown who caused the bruising.
Child neglect is a form of maltreatment. In other words, it is the failure of parents, guardians or caregivers to meet the child’s needs such as adequate supervision, clothes, shelter, food, health treatments, education and nurturing their emotional, physical, cognitive and mental development. In this paper, we will talk about early childhood neglect from ages birth to five years old, and the benefits of child welfare-supervised children 's participation in center-based Early Care and Education (ECE). Additionally, we will focus on an evidence-based intervention in which we will explore the program’s benefits and positive outcomes for the children that attend the program in contrast to the ones that do not. Moreover, we will identify the correct system of care and some of the programs within the tri-county area that might implement this intervention. Additionally, we will talk about the demographics of the children and setting of which intervention is best for them. Lastly, we will give an estimation of how many sessions are needed for the intervention to work, and what sorts of trainings might be necessary for the well-being of the child.
Currently, in my facility, we do have a patient is weight 500s lbs. How could a person be like that? Neglect from family? However, this patient is an adult so it does not count neglect. How about Mr. C.? He reports he has always been heavy, even as a small child. Does childhood obesity ever consider medical neglect? According to Varness, Allen, Carrel, & Fost (2009, p.405) " 3 conditions must be met to justify state intervention, that is, a high likelihood of serious imminent harm, a reasonable likelihood that coercive state intervention will result in effective treatment, and the absence of alternative options to address the problem". Personally, the obesity of children can be prevented. As a parent, one needs to cultivate children right concept of health diet and type. Otherwise, in the moral, we are still considered neglect children.
I have faced several cheating problem since I was a nursing student. I think students who cheat on the exam and then they get a full score or best score, they should not proud of themselve. One freind of me, she became outstanding student because of cheating. I think it is not fair for other students who study so hard to get a best score. This expereine warn me that I have to carefully monitor students in the test. Unfortunately, my students cheated on my final exam in epidemiology class by using the phone to take a picture and send that picture to some nurse who work in the hospital. I catch this guy after score showed up that he got a full score. It is imporsible that student like him can get a full score. Two day later, I asked him come
Child neglect refers to the continued failure to offer a child with the necessary protection, and care. Such protection and attention involve the necessities such as food, medical care, clothing, as well as shelter (Conte 7). In addition, lack of proper supervision for the young children for an extended duration of time is also child neglect. There are various signs of possible neglect. These include; inconsistent school attendance, evidence that health care is not being provided for in a child, or lack of proper hygiene (Conte 9). The child may also appear to be lacking clothes or poorly nourished.
To start off on the same page, there need to be clarity as to what the South Carolina Department of Social Services defines as abuse and neglect. Child abuse and neglect presents in various forms such as;
Failure as a parent or caretaker to provide the essential needs of a child is considered as child neglect and can result in psychological, emotional, and in some cases educational harm. When this happens, children are highly likely to experience reduced mental functioning that could cause the child's life to be dysfunctional.
This piece of work will focus on child neglect and will give a clear and precise understanding of relevant legal issues, appropriate theories and safeguarding practise. Unlike physical or sexual abuse, in which specific abusive acts are directed towards a child, neglect is typically defined by the absence of provision for a child’s basic needs (Gough, 2005). During the past 20 years, the subject and nature of child neglect has been drawn to the notion that this may impact on a child’s development and mental wellbeing. Neglect has been called the ‘Cinderella’ of child welfare topics due to the relative lack of attention the subject has attracted (Tanner and Turney,2006).
In recent years, there has been a surge of research into early brain development (Child Info). This is due to the ever-increasing issue of childhood neglect, abuse and the problems that arise with it. Neglect is the absence of critical organizing experiences at key times during development (Perry, 2002a). Childhood neglect can lead to cognitive and communicative deficiencies later in life.
In 2012, nearly four million children were reported to Child Protective Services (CPS) with concerns of neglect or abuse (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2012). Out of those four million reports, approximately 563,000 children were found to be victims of substantiated neglect, as reported and inspected by CPS (DePanifilis, 2006). In 2002, 1400 children died as a result of abuse or neglect (Harder, 2005). Cases of neglect occur roughly three times more (75%) than cases of physical abuse alone (18.3%), five times more than sexual abuse (9.3%), and are more likely to result in the death of the child (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2012). The impact of neglect can severely damage the physical, cognitive, interpersonal and emotional development of the child (DePanifilis, 2006). Parent-training interventions are frequently utilized in the child welfare system when working to preserve the family unit or have reunification as an end result (Barth et al., 2005). In children that have been neglected, do parent-training interventions reduce the negative impacts of neglect?
Throughout history, children have been long subjected to numerous forms of cruel abuses such as neglect, which includes not receiving the proper care and attention, and sexual or physical abuse which involves violence towards the child in a sexual or physical manner. Abuse triggers something inside the child that can turn them into a rebellious, often ill-mannered person. It is believed that those who exhibit the more violent criminal tendencies are more likely to have been victims of abuse at some point in their lives.
This paper explores the numerous effects neglect has on a child's development. If a child lacks the necessary attachment and stimulation during the critical first years, they will have profound developmental issues throughout life. Possibly the most important aspects that are affected by neglect are the brain and a child's social development. Looking into the case of the Romanian orphans, readers will be able to see the harsh consequences. Severe neglect is child abuse that often goes unnoticed and is hard to reverse. By understanding the implications of neglect, we can intervene earlier in order to prevent severe cases from becoming irrevocable.
When you’re a kid you should still have so much hope because you have not seen the tragedies in the world. Imagine just for a second that before you were even five, you had to take care of yourself. As a toddler you felt unloved and neglected. Each year 5.5 million children experience this feeling, not just for a second, but throughout their childhood. Neglect is child abuse, as well as physical abuse, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse. Child abuse is awful because it causes the child to feel worthless, to lose trust, and to have serious psychological problems early on in life.
The interstate compact has effectively opened communication lines between states. As an unfortunate result of Payton Tuthill death ICAOS was put into effect and has effectively prevented states from transferring known felons and misdemeanors on probation or parole to other states without notifying the receiving state. This policy has closed a loophole in the system of an offender going to another state and circumventing supervision all together.
