Recommended: Negative effects of child abuse

I don’t believe there was a specific view the reporter wanted the reader to find other than the effects of how bad a child abuse can go if not taken care off. The reporter didn’t mention any solutions in the article, but did mention that the case was reviewed many times in order to serve Liam his justice. The third article involves a young boy named Gabriel Fernandez who was only 8-years-old at the time. His mother’s name was Pearl Fernandez who lived with her boyfriend Isauro Aguirre. Pearl had two older boys as well but they were never abused only 8-year-old Gabriel. This case took place in Palmdale in May 2013. Gabriel was beat with stuffed sock, metal part of belt, bb guns, bats, and a club in which knocked his teeth out. He was forced …show more content…

Her mothers name was Mayra Solis who was homeless and often left her daughter to be cared by a man named Francisco Rios-Covarrubias. The three-year-old girl was stuffed in a closet with duct tapped around her arms, legs, and mouth. She would be offered up for sex by Francisco who took care of her while mom was at work. She was found in bad full of feces by police. Mother was charged with child abuse and Rios was charged with sex trafficking, kidnapping, and sexual conduct of a minor along with child abuse. The impact this article has on the reader is sad and interesting to think about. People need to be aware that there are cases like these in where thankful children do not die. We need to be aware of solutions to help these children who are abused daily. A value laden word/phrase that caught my attention was, “neglect so harsh she could not stand on her own,” that is difficult to hear that a child has been so deprived she had no more strength. The reporters view on people involved was clear as the reporter mentioned how each suspect was charged and how the child was rescued. The reporter does appeal to the reader by adopting the view that child abuse neglect is unacceptable. The solution the reporter offers is that people need to be more aware about sex trafficking and child abuse so that cases like this one don’t

    The article is about a four years old boy who was starved to death by his mother and was left in his cot for two years. She was found accountable for killing him and was given 12 years for killing him and three years for child cruelty, as shown in the (Pidd,2013) newspaper article. A key point is how a child can be treated in an awful way, especially by his mother. As Paul Greaney says “How can a child starve to death in 21st century England?” (Pidd, 2013)

  • Analysis Of In Death, Florida Family Reveals A Spiral Of Domestic Abuse

    820 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the article, “In Death, Florida Family Reveals a Spiral of Domestic Abuse,” the children portrayed in this story had shown many of the signs listed above, and yet, no one intervened. Lizette Alvarez and Frances Robles wrote about the horrific abuse that had plagued the whole household in a small Florida town. In Bell, Florida a woman by the name of Sarah Spirit, 28 years of age would constantly call the police on her father who she claimed was brutally violent and that she was terrified of him. The uniqueness about this story is that the abuse was not between a husband and wife, it was between a father and daughter and her six children. However, as stated previously, domestic violence can be any form of abuse between two people in the household.

  • Maria Santiago Research Paper

    689 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to the National Children's Alliance more than 700,000 children are neglected and abused. Maria Santiago is one of the few children who was neglected and abused at a young age. Thus allowing the cycle to continue towards her own child. Her father had abandoned her at the age of 10, while her mother often physically and emotionally mistreated her from the day she was born. As she grew up, Maria strayed from the right path and went downhill from then on. Later on in her life, she had a child named Allison, who eventually ended up dying at the age of 6 months. I believe that Maria Santiago is guilty of Aggravated Manslaughter of a child.

    She hopes that the readers are moved to act against this huge issue that is taking over the life of innocent children. As I stated already, Smith may assume that the best way to make people aware about this problem or to educate them is by sharing real life stories of children who were victims of sex trafficking. However, I’m certain that there is people out there that will believe that these victims choose to live “the life.” nevertheless, there will always be people who will do nothing to make a change and stop sex trafficking, it can almost believe that these people are cowards and are afraid to deal with reality. On the other hand, Linda Smith who advocates for social justice did a great job in writing this book because even though there could be many people ignoring this problem many others are getting educated through this book to act towards such cruel practice, and saving the life of a young relative of

  • Child Abuse In California's Life In A Child Called It By Dave Pelzer

    David suffered physical, mental, and emotional abuse from the age of four to 12-years-old. As his teachers and principal, neighbors, and even his maternal grandmother and father stand by and let the abuse happen, it makes me wonder what they could have done differently. For example, David’s father saw the abuse firsthand and he would try to intervene to help him out initially. David’s father was caught by the madness of his wife in calling him, ‘the boy’ and ‘It’. As much as his father tried to comfort David, he did not have the will to stand up against his wife. Another example, the maternal grandmother commented on bruises visible on David’s body and she did not take action to report her daughter for abusing her grandchild, David. Instead, David’s grandmother stated that she should stay out of it and let David’s mother raise her children as she saw fit. I believed the unreported instances observed by the public to be just as substantial a crime as the child abusers themselves. Also, the Department of Children and Social Services were contacted because of the alleged child abuse events that occurred previously; however, he was not taken from the home because the social worker of the agency sided with David’s mother. The social worker did not complete a thoroughly

    “Little Mary Ellen” is one of the most prominent child abuse cases in United States history. This case sparked some of the first child protection policies and organizations. In the 1870s, Mary Ellen Wilson was violently beaten by her foster mother, Mary Connolly.

    The sympathy of the government for mothers such as Khaila, trying to recover their parental rights has worn thin. Child abandonment is a serious offense and the children that suffer from such neglect face many psychological problems; if they are ever able to survive their circumstances. The abandonment and neglect of a child can result in serious criminal charges. One striking example is the case of seven month old Daniel Scott (Should We Take Away Their Kids?). Baby Daniel had been left for hours unattended and died of in a pool of his own blood. His mother, a crack addict left him in the care of his father to go on a six day crack binge. His father in turn, left him in his crib leaving the door of their Bronx tenement unlocked for any danger to afflict his unprotected son (Should We Take Away Their Kids?). The parents were later charged with manslaughter by negligence.

  • Child Abuse Is A Social Problem

    1365 Words  | 3 Pages

    Child abuse is a social problem in America that has many contributed factors. Factors that contribute to child abuse and neglect includes poverty, divorce, substance use, lack of education, stress due to unemployment, mental health issues, teenage parent, and a history of child abuse in the family. It took decades for physicians to conclude that parents have been violently assaulting their children. Child abuse, child labor, juvenile delinquency, and similar social questions historically were ethical and moral problems, not strictly medical ones. (Helfer, Kempe, & Krugman, 1997). In 1962, the Journal of American Medical Association published “The Battered-Child Syndrome.” The article transformed society’s views and dates the rediscovery of child abuse as a social problem. Following this article, the U.S. Children’s Bureau adopted the first laws mandating physicians to report any suspicions of abuse and neglect to the police or child welfare. By 1974, some 60,000 cases were reported. In 1980, the number exceeded one million (Myers J. E., 2004).
