She was the president of the PTA when she heard a young juvenile probation officer speak about the need for a home for those girls that had no where to go.

  • The History and Progression of the Foster Care System

    ...t with a child in the foster care system. This paper gave me the opportunity to learn the positives and the negatives as well as more details about the little parts of the foster care system that I didn’t know existed. Even though my focus is to help the child and think about their best interest, this paper showed me that the parents, both biological and foster, are another important factor that helps the children. It made me realize that I will need to meet the parents and work with them to make a plan that fits their life. I will need to figure out what issues they feel are important to fix and how to get to those solutions. Foster care is a complex system that will challenge me daily if I enter the into this specific field but even if I work with children in a different environment I need to be aware that children come from all different types of backgrounds.

  • 19-A M. R. S. 1803: The Path Of Family Law

    513 Words  | 2 Pages

    Up until the past year or so I was sure that I was going to pursue the path of Family Law once I became an attorney. As a result, I spent a great deal of my time reading over the Maine Revised Statutes to get a better understanding as to what a Family Law attorney would deal with day in and day out. While reading, I immediately became very interested in 19-A M.R.S. §1803; I was unaware that such a law existed, and I was quite surprised that it was in existence. After spending a considerable amount of time analyzing the pros and cons it carries with it, I eventually found that 19-A M.R.S. §1803 is an excellent law as a whole. I came to this conclusion based upon my personal opinion that it is very important for a child to have a relationship with it’s immediate family members while growing up, as long as it does not put the child in harms way.

  • Mistaken Behaviour Essay

    737 Words  | 2 Pages

    Creating ways to handle problems with guidance approach are very much like a journey to me. Teachers practice guidance when they help children to learn from their mistakes, rather than punish them for mistake they make, and it should not be considered as misbehaviour, but as mistaken behaviour. This reminds us that Child is just at the beginning of a lifelong learning process. At this stage we all make mistakes. Mistaken behaviour is made up of three different levels which in themselves explain each level in the learning process as they lack the experience and interaction to know the difference and therefore make errors in judgement in their actions. The three levels

  • Foster Care: Protecting Bodies but Killing Minds

    976 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout America there are hundreds of thousands of children in foster care. These children in foster care have disproportionately high rates of physical, developmental, and mental health problems (Issues). Most of these troubles are caused by the lack of attachment to the foster parents. With the shortage of time at a new house, these children do not bond with the foster parents. Some foster parents are willing to keep the children as long as necessary, but others are selfish and are in the program just for the money. This here is an example of why many children’s health is often neglected while in foster care (Issues). Children who enter foster care due to child abuse and neglect are entering an environment that is not the right type of support.

  • Nonkinship Foster Care

    The study conducted by Eun Koh and Mark Testa compared the differences in characteristics between children who were put into kinship care verses nonkinship foster care from March 1998 to September 2007. The researchers used the states of Illinois Adoption and Foster Care Analysis Reporting Systems (AFCARS) data to complete the study. The two null hypothesis were: “children initially placed in kinship foster care during their first removal episode are no less likely to achieve legal permanence through reunification, adoption, and guardianship than are children initially placed in nonkinship foster care during their first removal episode; children initially placed in kinship foster care during their first removal episode are no more likely to experience placement stability than are children initially placed in nonkinship foster care during their first removal episode” (Koh 2008). The method they used to overcome limitation and keep the two

  • The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog By Dr. Pary

    1137 Words  | 3 Pages

    Justin, a boy who was raised in a dog cage until the age of five, suffered similar neglect as those mentioned earlier. Justin was kept in a dog cage and rarely interacted with his caregiver, who lacked the attachment bond needed for later development; his only attachment came from dogs (). In regards to the four factors that help strengthen the attachment between a child and caregiver, contemporary factors played a role in this situation. Contemporary factors are influenced by the abilities of an adult needed to provide a strong and stable attachment (). Justin was left in the care of his grandmother, but when his grandmother passed away, he was left in the care of Arthur, the grandmother’s boyfriend Arthur. Arthur was an elderly man who never had children and was limited on how to raise a child. Other contemporary factors such as the confidence and self-control needing to raise a child carry over into the child’s attachment development (). Within Connor’s case, he suffered neglect from birth to 18 months (). Connor had been neglected throughout all stages of development, which in result limited his ability to form a secure attachment and be able to rely on others for support and comfort. Connor was left alone throughout the day, creating an inconsistent and unstable perspective on how
