The Case Of Jack And Samantha

With PAS being brought to a case, a child often ends up with a parent who has previously been accused or even convicted of abuse. For example, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Jensen couple was going through a custody battle after their divorce. Mr. Jensen was listed in Utah's Child Abuse/Neglect database. He also had nine different experts testify that he did indeed have abuse problems, including his six-year old daughter's pediatrician. With all of his abuse background, Mr. Jensen should never be awarded custody of a child let alone visitations right? Well, he did. When PAS was brought into the courtroom, he targeted Mrs. Jensen and made her look like the bad person by saying she forced their daughter to make false allegations on him. With the 'help' of Gardner's PAS, an innocent child is now in full custody of her father, an abuser, with only one visit each month with her mother.

During In re Winship (1970), it was determined that juveniles, just like adults, are entitled to “beyond a reasonable doubt” during the adjudication process. It was also decided that “preponderance of evidence” was not enough to gain a conviction when it came to juveniles being charged with criminal offenses an adult could commit. Both In re Winship (1970) and In re Gault (1967) were designed to

In the end, the case did not work in Campbell’s favour, as it was overturned in the Court of Appeal, even though the trial ruled in favour of her. The only problem with her case was that the parents put forward legitimate concerns about their town’s system regarding socioeconomic status issues which, when you recognize that it’s a poorer part of the city, is something that can be fairly

One popular example is the case of Neville & Neville [2007] where there was a dispute on who had custody of the child. The courts ruled that since the child had a ‘strong emotional connection’ with the mother, that she was to live with her mother but also share substantial time with her father as both shares equal parental responsibilities. However, the best interest of the child is not necessarily what they personally explicitly want, as shown in the successful appeal by the father in the case Moose & Moose [2007]. In a situation such as this, despite the children apparently afraid of their fathers ‘sexual abuse’, the courts decided that a once- monthly visit in a supervised contact centre would be beneficial as he was a ‘person who can advance their welfare’ and that such a connection ‘should not be severed’. Such a decision may be deemed as questionable due to the severity of the claims.

In the case example “Falsely Accused, A mother fights back”, Brenda Frank was accused of not only neglecting her 2 daughters but sexual abuse as well. Mrs. Frank was on welfare and separated from her husband. Mrs. Frank’s belief that children wean themselves from breast feeding, called the La Leche Philosophy, is part of what started the whole mess. That and the fact that since she was a single mother she let her daughters sleep with her.

Joe Sullivan’s case differs from McMillian’s case in the sense that it deals largely with abuse. Sullivan is a juvenile whose abuse began

Now that Kate was on the outskirts of the airport hanger and away from the strange glowing force field, still visible in the distance. The situation felt surreal, and Kate wondered if this was just a dream. Presently, she was cognizant that there was something foreign in the brisk early morning air, glittering like snow, feeling like sand as the tiny flecks dusted her skin. The bulldog nudging and licking Kate's hand forced reality back. In her peripheral, Kate observed Mr.Jacks emerge from the nearby hedgerow." I was so hopeful that my message would be discovered by someone." Kate cried out.

This is possibly the hardest assignment I’ve had to do to date. It’s difficult to examine how much this little boy had to suffer at the hands of his father. The crimes that took place here were more than abuse. I believe that the case worker is culpable for refusing to protect the child and should have been disciplined if not charged with a crime. The mother deserved a more severe sentence for allowing this abuse to go on for so long and should have been charged as an accessory to the crime. This case did lead to outrage and sweeping legislation in the state of Washington was enacted. Most of the legislation was aimed at allowing and even mandating that child protective services make protecting the child a higher priority than keeping the family together.

The children landed uncharted island far from any semblance of police, parents, or even teachers. The island was almost like the “Neverland” that Disney taught us about years ago, but without Tinkerbell and a magical home with all their needs. Jack and the children in this adventure were in a heap of trouble. They were many, some smaller and some bigger (littleuns and bigguns). These kids had to organize themselves into some sort of unit, to more efficiently find a way home. That is where the trouble begins. When one or more humans come together, a hierarchy is always established. Similar to when one goes to a restaurant and the waitress only addresses our father for the majority of the tables decisions. When this hierarchy forms, the decisions this leader takes will always be classified as good or evil, and the society will be judged by the character at their forefront. In William Golding’s novel “Lord of The Flies”, Jack Merridew is the character that takes leadership in the society and proves humanity is inherently evil by demonstrating human’s: selfish tendencies, competitive nature, and hopelessness.

The Casey Anthony trial was a controversial and a media-encompassed case that followed the disappearance of Caylee Anthony – a two year old girl who lived in Orlando, Florida. The case began on terms that were less than adequate, when Casey’s mother, Cindy Anthony, called authorities on the basis that she had not seen her granddaughter for over 30 days. It should also be acknowledged that the mother had even stated, in her own words, that Casey’s car “smelled like there’d been a dead body,” in it. Investigation led to portion after portion of evidence, along with even more questions on what had befallen Caylee after it turned out that her mother had falsified a slew of information. The original story that Casey offered stated that she had left

There is evidence that Casey Anthony lived an immature lifestyle for a mother, but there is not enough evidence to prove that she is guilty for the murder of her daughter. In order for one to understand that Casey Anthony is not guilty for the murder of her daughter, they must take a look at her background, the evidence of the murder, the trial, and the public’s reaction to the case. Along with these significant points, they must ask themselves the same question Jose Baez once wondered, “Why did George Anthony try to kill himself?”. The clues that point to Casey as the murderer equally point right back to George.

One of the most controversial and polemic trials of all times since the OJ Simpson trial was the case of Casey Anthony and the murder of her two year old daughter. All the evidences and witness revealed that she was the main suspect in the murder of her daughter; however in 2011 she was found not guilty of this murder due to several different aspects. This paper will inform and provide the reader with detailed information about this case. In addition the reader will find out what was the outcome of this case and will provide the evidence and will summarize the criminal procedures that occurred from arrest through appeal. The elements of the crime and the evidence which prove that she was guilty will be

The case involved respondent Darius Clark who in 2010 was charged with abusing his girlfriend’s two children aged three and eighteen months (Miller, 2010). The children had been in Clark’s care while their mother went to Washington, D.C. to engage in prostitution that was arranged by Clark (Miller, 2010). The oldest child, went to his daycare center and his teachers noticed marks on the child (Miller, 2010). When they questioned the child about his injuries he identified Clark as the person who harmed him (Miller, 2010). As mandatory reporters the teachers informed the authorities. When the case was heard by a jury in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, Clark was found guilty of four counts of felonious assault, two counts of domestic violence, and two counts of child endangerment for abuse of both children and sentenced to twenty-eight years in prison (Miller, 2010). In 2011 the 8th District Court of Appeals in Ohio reversed and remanded Clark for a new trial based on the Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause (Ohio v. Clark, 2011). The Ohio Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, the basis for the appeal was that the testimony repeated by the teachers who questioned the child in court,
