Who Is Tiffany And Her Family?

2. For this portion of the assignment, I chose to watch a rerun of one of my all time favorite TV shows, Law and Order Special Victims Unit. In this episode, Choice (season 5), we are introduced to an assault victim who is pregnant. Over the course of the episode, we discover that the victim, Jennifer, has been drinking heavily due to the stress she has been put under. Initially she agrees to stop, but it is soon discovered that Jennifer is a severe alcoholic, and has no intention of altering her behavior. The lead detective, Olivia, tries to get her help, but it’s eventually discovered that Jennifer has already given birth to another child who was later adopted, and who is now suffering with fetal alcohol syndrome. In this episode, we see that Jennifer’s husband, along with many of the SVU detectives try to provide her with resources, support, and advice, but it takes her being introduced to her biological child and seeing the severity of the consequences of her actions that she chooses to accept the help she needs.

From the information available, I have accessed Madeline’s ROSH to be associated with attitudes, finances and ETE. These three aspects, should be addressed using Kemshall et al, (2010) risk management pillars: supervision, monitoring and control, interventions and treatment and victim safety to ensure ROSH is managed at a minimal level. Likewise, the plan should also incorporate potential triggers, as the concept of risk is dynamic and thus, often subject to change (Kemshall et al, 1997). The intermittent relationship between Tom and Madeline and her previous substance dependence issues are two areas susceptible to rapid alteration. The Corston report (2011) identified that a number of female offenders have problematic relationships which appear to feature heavily in their criminogenic

Both children had been fully adopted by their families and, while Mai was provided with everything she needed growing up Tiffany and Haun had been supplied with so much more. Tiffany and Haun had met each other first, at their private elementary school, and later met Mai in high school. While all three children are equally intellectual Mai explains the first level of separation between them in her inner dialogue, “Haun and Tiffany didn’t even bother filling out the FASA forms or applying for scholarships” (Phan 155) which, in short, states that their parents are of the wealthier class. Tiffany’s parents co-owned a seafood restaurant in Newport Beach, where they went all share plates of lobster, shrimp, and mahi-mahi and drink ginger ale out of champagne glasses and, while there isn’t much told of Haun’s parents, it is assumed he is of the same social class because, “His fraternity sponsors a ski trip wo Vermont every year [where] they rent out a block of condos for the long weekend” and because of this wealth gap Tiffany and Haun are unable to see difficulties Mai’s faces for college and the rest of her life following her eighteenth birthday. This is shown through their discussion of Mai’s application to Wellesley, a college Tiffany had already been accepted to. Mai is told numerous things along the lines of Tiffany got in Mai will most definitely be accepted and that the Reynolds will help her pay

Kelly Miller became the first African American student to graduate from John Hopkins University in 1887, where he studied mathematics and physics. An increase in tuition forced Miller to leave Johns Hopkins in 1889 without finishing his graduate work. He continued his studies as a student of Captain Edgar Frisby, an English mathematician at the US Naval Observatory, and shortly taught mathematics at M Street High School in Washington before being hired by Howard University as a professor of mathematics, where he taught for 5 years. Like other twentieth century black leaders, Miller believed that the developing social sciences would be useful in evaluating the experiences of black Americans and in charting a course for their future advancement. In conclusion to his duties as an educator and researcher, Miller served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Howard from 1907 to 1918. After spending over fifty years at Howard University as a student, teacher, and administrator, he retired from

Some of the children become dependent on the government sustenance. Incarcerated women often find that their actions hurt their family “especially of women, destroys the family network. When the men got to prison, potential role models are lost. When women go to prison, families most often fall apart” (Hotelling) while in an institution they might never see their children. As statistics continuously provides that children lived with and cared for by their

Jenifer grew up in the country in Bellingham, Washington. She lived on many acres and had many cattle. Walton grew up with a mother, father, and adopted sister named Kristin who was 6 years younger than Jenifer. Her father was an alcoholic which led him to develop lung and throat cancer. Not only was he a drunk, but he was also blind. Jenifer had a very close relationship with him but not her mother. Jenifer and Kristin's parents slowly became unhappy. When Walton was 13 her parents decided to get a divorce. The divorce effected their family tremendously. Shortly after the divorce Jenifer's sister, Kristin got in with the wrong crowd. She started using drugs and drinking alcohol. She used these substances for quite awhile. There were bumps along the road after the divorce for Kristin. When Kristin was 29 she became

What should you teach Bud about this medication? Celebrex is used to manage pain and is for relief of symptoms of osteoarthritis. It decreases pain and inflammation caused by arthritis or spondylitis. I would teach him it can be taken without eating. I would tell the patient that they have to make sure they take the medication exactly as directed and not to take more than prescribed. I would teach him the signs and symptoms of the possible side effects that may occur when taking the drug such as, abdominal pain, black stools, or other abnormal GI symptoms that would indicate GI toxicity.

Jerilyn, a teenager within the ABC Primetime Video The Lost Children Behind Bars committed a variety of different minor crimes throughout her years ranging from trespassing, disorderly conduct, marijuana use, and habitual truancy (Emsnyc12, 2012). Along with these minor crimes, Jerilyn had also committed a very serious criminal offense of child molestation against her nephew, which led to her being put into the Adobe Mountain Juvenile Corrections Facility (Emsnyc12, 2012). With that being said, her criminal behavior can very much be attributed to substantial events that occurred within her life at a very young age. At six years old, Jerilyn was molested by her mother’s boyfriend and this lasted for an entire month. (Emsnyc12, 2012). Soon after this molestation occurred, various changes within Jerilyn’s life began to emerge, as one may suspect. She soon began to turn to crime as a way to deal with this terrible life event and began smoking marijuana, using alcohol, and skipping school as well as not coming home for long periods of time (Emsnyc12, 2012). Jerilyn being molested by her mother’s boyfriends had a profound impact on her life and can very much be a leading factor in her committing her own act of child molestation on her nephew, who was six at the time (Emsnyc12, 2012). From a very young age, after the molestation occurred, Jerilyn was emerged into a life of crime, with the final act of child molestation landing her in the Adobe Mountain Juvenile Corrections

This example of a family’s interesting dynamics that come about can be seen in a show called, “The Fosters.” In this show, the Foster family lives in San Diego where Stef Foster and Lena Adams (in later seasons being Lena Adams-Foster) parent five children, four of them being foster children and one coming from a previous marriage. The children’s names are Brandon (17yrs old), who is the oldest, Mariana (16) and Jesus (16), who are twins that were adopted after Stef and Lena got together, and Callie (17) and Jude (13) who are siblings that both got adopted. Stef is the birth mother of Brandon, coming from a previous relationship with another charater named Mike.

According to Dr. Christine A. Christle “Risk factors are disabling, cultural, economic, or medical conditions that deny or minimize opportunities and resources for a child and place him or her in jeopardy of failing to become a meaningful member of the home, school, and community.” There are two types of risk factors; internal and external risk factors. Internal risk factors would be risk factors that are within the own individual; such as having concentration problems, anger problem or having a disability. Internal risk factors only involve the one child and they are built from within the child. Now, external risk factors are those that involve the child’s “environment conditions such as family, school, and community”; an example of that is the family living in poverty, living in a bad neighborhood with crime and drugs, attending a bad school or not having any friends.

A mother’s socioeconomic status impacts all aspects of not only her life, but that of her child. Where she is situated on the social ladder will influence where she lives, her access to employment opportunities, and to support networks within a community, the availability of reliable private or public transport can greatly limit access as well. It may have also influenced the quality of education she herself received, and the education her child will go on to receive. Poor education, will impact the type of employment she is able to get, which may lead
