While the widely exposed and discussed trials of WorldCom's and Tyco's top executives were all over the media, one of the most interesting cases of securities fraud was happening without any public acknowledgement.
In the case of Alex (plaintiff) vs. Abigail (defendant), we the jury find Abigail guilty of fraud through unanimous vote. Alex presented enough evidence to support the claims of breach of contract and fraud committed by the defendant.
If the local authority establishes that the child is a child in need or at risk of harm, it has a duty under section 47 of the Children Act (1989) to make a care plan or child protection plan to provide support which involves adequate supervision and checks to ensure that the child is no longer at risk. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) promotes empowerment for children as they can exercise their right to express their views and be heard and their best interest would be at the centre of the intervention and social workers need to ensure that decisions made are not affected by the influence from family or professionals they work with (Lee & Hudson,
When healthy, Stephanie and I function as partners in parenting our two children, Mariah and Brooklyn, splitting the duties of care and provision as equals. Shortly after the December 23, 2016 accident, Stephanie had to use significant prescription pain management drugs to withstand the pain of her injuries. This resulted in Stephanie not being available to transport our daughters by car at all. This situation lasted from shortly after the December 23, 2016 accident until she was cleared for activity April 12, 2017. Throughout Stephanie’s incapacity, I personally transported my daughters to all of their events, appointments, practices, tournaments and the like. Mariah and Brooklyn are
There are many times when a care order has to be put in place and it happens because the authorities believe that it is the best thing to do for the child’s overall wellbeing. When the care order is put in place it will mean that the
To admit to adultery takes integrity. To tell the truth no matter what the consequences takes integrity. To stay true to one's morals and be able to accept any punishments to keep one’s integrity, is a genuine trait. During the Salem witch trials many were unable to keep their integrity, but there were some who did. The Crucible written by Arthur Miller takes place during the Salem witch trials, when many people were forced to lie in order to live. John Proctor is looked at in the play as an adulterer, and sinful man. Nevertheless, John Proctor's public and private selves differ dramatically, but overall Mr. Proctor is truly a honest and integrity filled man.
As a young girl, I was never fond of the name Anna. The name came along with too much baggage.. Unknowingly, people would constantly call me the wrong name, and some people, disregarding my opinion, even created strange nicknames for me. Over the years, I have been called a variety of names including Annie, Ann, Anna, Annabelle, Anne Frank, banana, banana boat, etc. Frankly, there are just too many variations of the name “Anna”. Being an extremely common name, almost everywhere I go, whether it be school or the grocery store, I always seem to find another “Anna”. Although nameberry.com tells me that “Anna” means grace, it actually means unique, intelligent, and affectionate.
MSTT met with Donna from CYS and Vanessa from Access services for a collaborative meeting. The meeting was to address CYS concerns regarding Jamiles leaving home without permission during the middle of February to see her mother. Donna wanted to verify the acquisition because she was unsure of what to believe from Lesley (Jamiles mother). The meeting was also to establish an appropriate after care-plan for Jamiles once MSTT close services. Jamiles did state she went to her mother's home at that time because she was feeling alone. Jamiles explained she believed Jocelyn has started to show more favoritism toward the other foster care child in the home because she is pregnant. Jamiels explained she was not receiving fair treatment which has her
This week working at Erie OCY was more hectic than usual. I had a close a case, since it is reached the 60-day period intake can investigate. It was the first time I had to close a case. My supervisor helped me along the process of ending my first case. Vickie Babcock and I had multiple supervisions, with her teaching me how to complete a risk assessment. The risk assessment tool is used most frequently in the agency. This risk assessment is used to determine if the child may be at risk of maltreatment in the future. If the caregiver’s attributes are more on the scale of moderate or high risk, then the agency determines the caregiver as unsafe.
The grounds for making a supervision or care order can be found in in s.31 of The Children Act 1989. Before a supervision or care order can be made, there are four areas that must be established. The court must show that ‘the child concerned is suffering or likely to suffer, significant harm’. Under s.31(2)(b) it states that, ‘The harm, or likelihood of harm, is attributable to: (i) the care given to the child, or likely to be given to him if the order were not made, not being what it would be reasonable to expect a parent to give him; or (ii) the child’s being beyond parental control’. The last two criteria are that the making of the order would promote the welfare of the child, and it is better for the child than making no order at all. A care order was explained in Hunt’s major study on care proceedings as a “last resort” and should only be used if all other options have been explored .
The use of the Children Act 2004 in day-to-day work with children and young people allows multi-disciplinary teams to shared information, which is used to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people known to one or more agencies. The interests of the child are paramount. In the setting, a specifically trained member of staff will be appointed to supervise safeguarding and child protection.
During the court case the judge said that lead social worker Gunn Wahlstrom was “naïve beyond belief”. This report brought over 68 recommendations to make sure cases like this did not happen again. The recommendations included putting the child first and the parent’s second. “Jasmines’ fate illustrates all too clearly the disastrous consequences of the misguides attitude of the social workers having treated Morris Beckford and Beverley Lorrington as the clients first and foremost” (London Borough of Brent, 1985,p295). The social workers in Jasmine’s c...
It reflects the legal orientation on parental responsibilities. It is an expectation that both parents will be involved in the important decisions regarding the child. Also parental responsibilities extend to a consideration of the primary and additional factors discussed earlier when deciding what is in child’s best interest. In 2011 the Family Law Legislation (Family Violence and other Measures) Act 2011 (Cth) was passed. This act protects the safety of children in parenting matters and changed the definitions of ‘abuse’ and ‘family violence’ to better capture harmful behaviour. This act also strengthened advisers’ obligations by requiring family consultants, family counsellors, family dispute resolution practitioners and legal practitioners to prioritise the safety of children, ensure the courts have better access to evidence of abuse and family violence by improving reporting requirements, and make it easier for State and Territory child protection authorities to participate in family law proceedings where appropriate. Parenting Orders are covered in the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth). There are four parts of the parenting
Today's parenting has also played a key role in revision of the legal system as it relates to family law. Due to the increasing amount of child abuse cases, there has been a great amount of emphasis placed upon the disciplinary actions of parents today. In today's society with drug abuse being more prevalent and single family households becoming more common, the pressures of child rearing have dramatically increased.
Children require the provision of care to be consistent and appropriate to the age of
