Eric Whitacre is a world renowned choral music composer known for his detailed and intricate compositions. In the world of choir music, composers take poetry and compose voice parts to complement and paint the imagery of the poem. This is a lot like writing where the consumer takes in details with one sense (hearing or reading) and uses their imagination to paint a picture in their head. It is the composer’s job to help the consumer paint this picture by providing precise details and imagery through sound or in a writer’s case, words. In “The Stolen Child” by Eric Whitacre, a young boy is being coerced by faeries to enter the wood, forget the sorrows of the world and stay youthful forever. “The Bacchae” by Euripides, depicts a young boy king …show more content…
The premise of eternal youth seems simple. Once submitted to it, the sorrows of life can be forgotten and one may live as a naive child for eternity. However, there is a sacrifice to gain this eternal youth. In Bacchae the main character Pentheus is slaughtered by his own mother in order for her to gain wisdom and become a follower of Dionysus. Pentheus is then granted eternal youth because he dies young for a greater cause. The child in “A Stolen Child” is told to, “Come away, oh human child” the faeries tell him that he can live in eternal happiness with them because the, “worlds more full of weeping than you can understand”. Dionysus tells the mortals that they can become followers of his if they suffer a sacrifice and submit to the madness that is created by that sacrifice. Once his followers know true madness they can be enlightened to his was a gain true felicity. This is the followers of Dionysus’ way of getting away from the world’s sorrows (the weeping). Alternatively, these children can also be viewed as eternal because they are immortalized in the text. Each time “The Stolen Child” is sung or Bacchae is read, the image of the children is brought to life once again. The symbol of a child is used in “The Stolen Child” and Bacchae to immortalize lifelong happiness and

Child Find and Zero Reject. Under IDEA’s “child find” mandate, states are required to identify, locate, and evaluate all resident children with disabilities (including those who are homeless, limited English proficient, or wards of the state), regardless of the severity of their disability or whether they attend public or private schools. The mandate to serve all students with disabilities is commonly referred to as “zero reject.” Although federal law requires that children with disabilities be identified, it does not dictate how this is to occur. Nevertheless, courts give deference to districts when their identification efforts are substantial, in good faith, and ultimately effective. Consequently, state procedures vary widely and
My will free-fell towards faltering before swept with the memory of my ex-husband stealing my baby. While I was locked in the Tennessee State Women’s Correctional Facility serving six months on a trumped-up shoplifting charge, he took my baby and got a court order granting him legal custody. I slid open the window and lift my son from his crib, carry him from the apartment, and drive him cross country. There I would file for custody and my darling son and I would be together forever.
In reviewing your suggested app, “Security Alert,” I felt your proposal was worth considering. With forty-percent of surveyed Americans feeling unsafe walking at night, this app could aid in reducing the anxieties associated with this fear as pointed out in your proposition (Sadd, 2011, para. 6). Furthermore, with three-fourths of surveyed parents stating that child abduction was a fear that they held and one-third of these parents admitting it was a worry that affected them frequently, this app could even further reduce anxieties (Bilich, n.d.). Consequently, decreasing the apprehension that one might feel. Therefore, this shrinking of one’s level of stress, could aid in the development of better physical and emotional health, subsequently lessening the risk of developing other stress-related disorders (Nevid, 2015, p. 357). Moreover, “Security Alert” could prove to be a valuable parenting support, should an actual abduction occur, as the “Red” option would allow for faster response time as also pointed out in the dissertation. Rapid response time is critical in the recovery of an abducted child, as seventy-four percent of slayings occur within the first three hours after an abduction (Bilich, n.d.).

There is nothing like the injustice of child abduction, murder, and molestation. As John Walsh says it:
Veering from the egocentric poems of the Romantic era, Victorian poets began to write poetry not only to express the feelings of an “I,” but also to inspire change in the collective “we.” Being from a historical period with a dramatic class divide, Victorian poets wrote with the intention of crafting beautiful lasting poetry as well as articulating a need for cultural reform in their now. One of the most renowned Victorian poets, Elizabeth Barrett Browning possessed the expert skill of integrating not only imagery and precise rhyme scheme into her poetry, but afflicting her readers with a sense of pity so paramount they had no choice but to make a change.
The local authority has the duty of care for the child and their decisions should also be taken into account. This could be linked to the UNCRC. The children 's rights are valued and taken into consideration; the child has their own views and feelings. The welfare of the child should be put in the centre at all times. The articles I am referring to from the UNCRC are article 3- organizations should work towards what 's best for the child for example a child that is in harm’s way should receive support or should be taken away for protection, depending on how much risk they are in. Article 12- children and young people have the right to say what they think should happen; this is relevant to a child going into foster care as they still have
These are activities that are targeted at members of the community and general population with the aim to raise awareness about the problems of child abuse. It involves an approach that targets helping families and children before child abuse occurs and not intervening after the harm has been done. This is very essential as every child deserves to grow up and be nurtured in an environment that is safe and stable which helps in the child’s total development such as the physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components. These strategies can be via a myriad of programs such as educational programs via public awareness programs, public service announcements, parent education groups, child educational programs, family support and strengthening programs.
