Review Of Ngoddy's Case

“I just knew the phone would ring some day and Joshua would be dead,” stated social worker Ann Kemmeter regarding Joshua DeShaney and the ongoing abuse he endured from his father. Joshua’s father brutally and repeatedly abused his four-year-old son Joshua (Wichenbach). The State of Wisconsin was aware of this abuse, but still did nothing to intervene and stop the mistreatment of this child (Wichenbach). The State’s inaction led to the Supreme Court case DeShaney v. Winnebago Department of Social Services, in which Joshua’s mother, Melody, sued the Winnebago Department of Social Services claiming, “the social worker deprived Joshua of his liberty without due process of law” (Alexander). In order to fully understand the DeShaney case, one must conduct thorough background research, delve into the court case itself, and analyze the impact the case has yet today.

This case began with couple Mr. and Mrs. Keller opening up a daycare in Austin Texas that was overwhelmingly positive and filled with fun activities for the kids that may attend.

Knowing or finding out weather a person is able to fully understand when they have a disability is a difficult thing to do. When the girl’s mother passed away the perpetrator was allowed to become the girls carer and the abuse continued. Before this man was allowed to become the girls carer agencies/social services should have fully investigated the man’s past, he should have gone through interviews and the agencies could have observed/investigated the man’s and girl’s relation/friendship. There would have been no harm for the agencies to go and check on the woman years later and keep on top of visits because if they did this the signs of abuse would have been clear such as dehydration and lack of food, poor clothing, torn genital area and marks on her face and body.

My working environment deals with adult. A vulnerable adult is a person aged eighteen years or over who needs to depend on other people for at least some of their care and support and is unable to protect themselves from harm or exploitation. This can be due to learning disabilities, mental health problems, age or illness, and physical disability or impairment. Every adult has a right to respect, dignity, privacy, equity and a life free from abuse (Joint Committee on Human Rights). There are a growing number of incidents of adult abuse, many of which are not reported. That is why everyone has a responsibility to help prevent adult abuse by doing something about it especially I have a duty of care in my profession under my competencies to protect vulnerable people. There are robust, policies and procedures for safe guarding and protecting adults and

A 17 year old girl went to a job interview in the back of the accused’s (Ewanchuk) van. After the interview concluded, Ewanchuk invited her into his trailer to see some of his work. The complainant complied, and purposely left the trailer door open-- though Ewanchuk closed the door soon after, in a way where the complainant had thought he had locked it. The accused began a string of sexual touches, each more intimate than the previous, which the complainant said “no” to, only to have Ewanchuk continue with another advance shortly thereafter. Any compliance the complainant offered was due to fear of the altercation turning violent. Ewanchuk paid her $100 before she left and told her not to tell anyone about it.

The current problem is the continued rise in child abuse and neglect today. Within the United States, the problem of child abuse and neglect is far much common than most people would like to admit. Sanchez (2012) stated that child maltreatment is a global epidemic and a major social problem in the United States resulting in at least 740, 000 visits to hospital emergency departments and more than $124 in child welfare, criminal justice, and health care.

One student, a male, had been diagnosed with ADHD. The other student, a female, also had been diagnosed with ADHD along with other “special needs.” A lawsuit has been filed against the Kentucky man for trying to restrain the children with handcuffs for “acting out”. In the lawsuit, it is mentioned that the kids are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act because the officer’s actions violate both the disabilities act and the children’s constitutional rights. It is mentioned

The Human Services Organization I analyzed is New Beginnings. New Beginnings is an agency that provides sexual assault support services in Daviess, Hancock, Henderson, McLean, Ohio, Union, and Webster counties. The clients of this organization have all been affected by sexual assault or child sexual abuse. Issues within clients are best described as acute trauma responses or chronic trauma, such as sexual difficulties or loss of trust. In order to analyze this agency as efficiently as possible, I interviewed Terri Crowe, the Advocacy Coordinator, from New Beginnings. Terri was able to provide very useful information regarding this organization and how it ticks. Although New Beginnings provides services to seven different counties, there are

Sexual abuse to children happens across every socioeconomic status, ethnic, cultural, religion and education. Getting treatment for a victim of child sexual abuse is a difficult process because of the lack of trust by the child. When child sexual abuse occurs the victim’s family has a difficult time talking about the abuse, which leads to the family pretending the abuse never happened. Once the family
