In The Little Prisoner, Mum and Jane were both getting abused (Elliott, 2005). They both knew Richard was abusing them, but Jane got abused very frequently. Most of the time, Mum would just act like she didn’t know what was going on and let it happen. She would only interfere when Richard was in a really bad mood then she would have Jane be with her the whole time or try to get Richard by her self, so she could take the abuse herself. The majority of the abuse took place in Jane’s childhood home, sometimes in Richard’s car. Once Jane moved out, the abuse would take place at her apartment Jane never really had a safe place, whenever she went, Richard would always find her (Elliott, 2005). This can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD).

I interviewed a 36 years old woman who had been abuse in a relationship. Her name is Crisleidy. She was born in Cuba. She has two kids and she got married in Cuba. Crisleidy came to the United State with her husband and two kids 4 years ago. Her husband was the only one that had a job in the house. Crisleidy used to be a housewife. She had to stay home taking care of the kids. She didn’t have a job because her husband didn’t want her to work. Crisleidy husband “Jorge” used to beat her when he told her to do some things and she doesn’t do it. Whenever she asked Jorge for money to buy something she likes for herself, he slapped her and disrespected her. He didn’t like when Crisleidy asked him for money because he was the only one that was paying the bills in the house.

One of the ethico-legal issue related in this scenario, is the potential risk of self-harm or others due to fleeting thoughts of suicide which a major indication that Tracey needs help and serious interventions to help her cope the current situations of her life. The children safety is at risk. It is mandatory to all healthcare workers to report children who are in danger or risk of being neglected to Department of Community Service which their main function is to support vulnerable families and keep the children and young people safe from abuse and neglect. Further assessment is necessary because it is the duty of care of the nurse to refer Tracey to Social Worker to further investigate the safety of the children.

A ethical concern I will have with Jill is suicide, so a suicide check will be done because she is vulnerable, overwhelmed and feel powerless and depress with the domestic abused and may seek to end their own pain and escape by suicide. I will also asked Jill about any organic concern or serious mental health issues for example depression, so that the crisis worker can assess for medication compliance (Kanel 66).Homicidal,I will asked Jill does she think that her husband is capable of killing her? Also there is Battered Woman's Defense, is when abused woman kills her abuser, I would asked Jill how she deals with the abuse, does she ever get angry that she wants to kill

In today's society, a lot of people are trapped by obstacles and barriers placed in front of them. Abuse is commonly found and is used as barriers to keep happiness away from certain groups of people. Abuse is prominently found in the Oprah Winfrey article when, “Oprah was neglected.At nine years old,she was left in the care of her 19 year old cousin who raped her. She continued to suffer sexual abuse.” Elizabeth Street. This quote demonstrates how Oprah was abused when she was young. This is an obstacle

I feel like the topic was broad, but could be focused in on one certain topic if needed. There were so many avenues that could be explored regarding this topic. There could be child abuse, verbal abuse, or mental abuse. There is a wide range of topic for this paper. However, it was suggest I begin with observations and life experiences. There have been situations I witness, but these acts are through work related stories and issues.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when the ream abuse is heard? Physical, sexual, psychological, personal, narcissistic, and neglect are all different characteristics of abuse. These six types of abuse are all different, yet they are somehow connected. Some people assume that abuse is just one word to describe all forms of abuse. What they don’t realize is that there are many different types. All are as equally harmful as another.

C. With first-hand experience of being in abusive relationship before and recent research, I would like to tell you about how to recognize signs of abuse.

My field study took place at shelter for Abused women, a safe house for battered woman, the house accommodate their client for 30days while they find other resources to help them move on with their life. Domestic abused affect women and children. Lots of women are more at risk in their own home. Spouse abuses happen when one person in the marriage chooses to control the other party by using fair intimidation physical, emotional abuse. Domestic violence displaced many families because they are trying to get away from their abuser. Abuse can range from physical, mentally, emotional or psychological. One of every 5 woman are said to have experience an abuse from their partner.

The next aspect of the Act that needs to be analysed is the relief it seeks to provide to the victim. A broad overview of the scheme of the Act suggests three things: first, it is not punitive in nature. The various modes of relief provided for under it are aimed, principally, at protecting the victim from any further abuse and compensating her for the abuse already suffered, and additionally, at restoring stability and harmony in the family unit. Thus, all the provisions have been structured so as to give effect to this dual purpose. Second, the Act is not exhaustive and is only complementary in nature, i.e. it supplements the existing legislations and the relief provided under it is only in
