Child Safety Restraint Penalties

Misery, abandonment, and no love, how can one let a child grow up with thoughts so negative running through their minds? Children are removed from their homes, forced to live in strangers houses, and expected to behave like they live in a stable living environment. All this is occurring so fast, that they can’t process their situation and feel like they don’t have anyone in the world that loves them. Although our nation claims to be doing the best they can with child welfare, the entire program has focused their efforts on removing children from their homes instead of focusing on the child’s emotional needs. Mr. President, we need to fix this issue now because children are the future. When a family is torn apart because allegations of abuse, neglect, or financial issues, placing a child in foster care, rather than trying to fix the problem, can only further damage a child’s well being.

Did you know that if your child doesn't go to preschool your child is 25 percent more likely to drop out of school, 40 percent more likely to become a teen parent, and 70 percent more likely to be arrested for a violent crime? My aunt did not go to preschool therefore, she had to be held back in kindergarten twice because it was her first time being in a school environment, and so she didn’t know how to act or how to pay attention at the age 5, that’s just insane. She also became a teen parent, causing her to drop out of school at the age 17 so that she had to take care of her baby. All children should be required to go to preschool because it helps with brain development, child behavior development, and it can be cheaper (Five Surprising Facts

When people hear the words “child poverty” some assume that this term may refer to homeless children who are living on the streets. This isn’t necessarily true, in fact some children who go to bed every night with a roof above their head still suffer from some form poverty. According to National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP), 21% of children throughout the United States live in families who are considered poor. It is crucial for society to be more aware of this issue and to take part in contributing to help reduce child poverty within our country.

Laws in most states mandate that reasonable efforts be provide to families who become involved with child welfare agencies.  Social workers, on behalf of the agency toil to provide reasonable efforts to families.  Presumptively, reasonable efforts are provided for families to mitigate the issues that brought them to the attention of child protection agency.

Though not always directly applicable to the organisation for which I currently work in, a number of policies and procedures exist to ensure the safety of children and young people. These policies apply to all persons who work with children or young people in any capacity. This includes the following:

Everyday children under the age of 18 are maltreated. One out of eight children throughout the U.S suffers from either physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. Unfortunately, emotional abuse is not even considered a maltreatment when people think of child abuse. When people think of child abuse the first thing they think about is physical or sexual. Now do not get me wrong, any abuse a child receives is a horrible inhuman like thing because every child is innocent and deserves to live the best life they possibly can live. Although, if we are being quite honest with ourselves nobody really notices this happens until it is mentioned later on when the child gets older. Which I do not blame anyone for because a child does not recall if something is good or bad until they have the ability to be aware of their environment.This is due to the fact that child abuse can start occurring at such an early age. This happens most during the development stage of the child because when a child is young it starts to absorb everything it sees and hears based on their surroundings. Basically, when they start noticing the difference from good or bad. The problem in this situation is that there is a high percentage rate of the youth who are diagnosed with mental disorders and are not being helped properly because most of the time the adults around them do not know how to help. The solution to this problem is simple, we should bring awareness to the main people in the child's life: their

It is important that children and young people are allowed to exercise their rights and choices, whilst health and safety requirements are maintained. This can lead to a dilemma when children and young people wish to undertake a task that you may feel is not within their capabilities, or that is not safe for them to do so

If these rules are followed correctly then the children are at lower risk of accidents happening as they are being

Background and Audience Relevance: According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2015, about thirty-five hundred people were killed, and four hundred thousand were injured in car crashes.

You’ve heard the saying, “children are our future.” Therefore why does the “United States have one of the worst records for child abuse” (childhelp.org). According to the 2015 child maltreatment report,” almost 7.2 million children were involved in some sort of abuse whether mental, emotional, physical or sexual and 75.3% of victims are neglected” (americanspcc.org). You’ve seen the news reports of children being neglected whether it’s a parent who forgets their child was in the car and locks them in on a hot summer day roasting their child’s little life away, or the parent who beats their child to their death, or the parent who is suffering an addiction and doesn’t provide the proper quality of life and care to their child or children that they are taken away by the state only to be dumped into the foster care system. Research states, “that an estimated 1,670 children died in 2015 from abuse or neglect and 207,000 children received foster care services” (americanspcc.org).

The purpose of this study was to see and learn about caregivers and physicians knowledge and comfort levels regarding safety restraint transitions with belt positioning booster seats. The literature review section of this article was short, but very factual. It was not full of jargon and was very easy to read and understand. This section was very informative and talked about belt-positioning booster seats (BPBs) which are normally used for children between the ages of four to eight or under four foot nine inches. This section also talked about how forty-three states (as of 2008) had passed laws mandating booster seats for varying

Many parents lack education on, or do not fully know, proper car seat use and the consequences of improper car seat safety implementation. Car seat safety is important for children as they face increase risk of injury at certain ages or physical size.

According to the article “Child Vehicular Stroke Fact Sheet” from KidsAndCars.org, “The average number of U.S. child vehicular heat stroke deaths is 37 per year.” That is one death of a child every nine days. Although, some individuals may or may not have unintentionally left their children in the car. A majority of parents that left their child in the vehicle unknowingly did it. However, there is a small percentage of parents that knowingly left their child unattended in the vehicle. In some cases, the child even entered the vehicle on their own without the parent or caregiver noticing in time. Statistics of child vehicular heat stroke deaths reveal that 54.25% of parents unknowingly left their child in the vehicle, 11.58% knowingly left their child in the vehicle, and 33.58% of the children entered the vehicle by themselves without parents or caregivers noticing in a reasonable amount of time (Child Vehicular Heat Stroke). Some individuals, usually non-parents, believe that it is completely absurd to forget a child is in the vehicle. However, the most dangerous mistake a parent or caregiver can make is to think leaving a child alone in a vehicle could never happen to them or their family (Child Vehicular Heat Stroke). A heat stroke can be extremely lethal to young children if it is not recognized and treated in time.

Corporal punishment in these days has been becoming a topic in many old timers talks. Many believe that it helps and is definitely the way to go. The older generations still seem to believe that society would be better off if kids still got punished the way they did. They refuse to ignore data that has not supported the clams they bring up about making children better behaved or as they call it “Straightening them up”. Many believe that our liberal democracy population has views that are not valid and that the old ways need to come back to help us grow.
