  • Family Law: The Children Act of 1989

    1190 Words  | 3 Pages

    This essay will first address the statute used and interpretation of the threshold test by the courts, and then focus on cases involving vulnerable children to assess whether the statute in The Children Act 1989 is sufficient in protecting these children from harm. I will look at the argument in favour of the current approach taken by the courts, and the counter-argument in favour of changing the current approach. The arguments are delicately balanced and the law is always developing, so it will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court resolves this issue in future.

  • Incarcerated Parents and Their Children

    2288 Words  | 5 Pages

    The challenges of children who grow up with parents whom were incarcerated at some point in their childhood can have a major effect on their life. The incarceration of parents can at times begin to affect the child even at birth. Now with prison nurseries the impregnated mother can keep her baby during her time in jail. With the loss of their parent the child can begin to develop behavioral problems with being obedient, temper tantrums, and the loss of simple social skills. Never learning to live in a society they are deprived of a normal social life. “The enormous increase incarceration led to a parallel, but far less documented, increase in the proportion of children who grew up with a parent incarcerated during their childhood” (Johnson 2007). This means the consequences of the children of the incarcerated parents receive no attention from the media, or academic research. The academic research done in this paper is to strengthen the research already worked by many other people. The impact of the parent’s incarceration on these children can at times be both positive and negative. The incarceration of a parent can be the upshot to the change of child’s everyday life, behavioral problems, and depriving them a normal social life.

    It appears that Mathew’s move to his biological mother’s and stepfather’s home in the middle of his treatment with this provider played a part in the treatment disruption. Mathew cited strict rules and what he thought was emotional abuse from his stepmother as the reasons for his move. This move, while pleasing to him because he was allowed the freedom to operate without much supervision, his focus on his treatment work had noticeably changed, and he began to push back when confronted by his peers in treatment group about his lack of focus and he shut down emotionally, would use lies of omission to hide what he was actually doing, and stayed on the margins of the treatment group milieu. This behavior lasted for several weeks until Mathew upped the ante and began telling his family that he was on the verge of not completing SSODA and this was not due to his efforts. Mathew attempted to triangulate his mother and stepfather against this provider by stating that he had a learning disability and has a diminished capacity to learn the treatment goals set for him. After a parent meeting with this provider, it was made clear that Mathew was avoiding having to address important treatment foci and was making excuses to avoid having to complete assigned treatment homework. After this meeting, Mathew’s parents made a commitment to make time to help Mathew with his treatment homework and this resulted in Mathew’s timely completion of homework and a noticeable gain in his understanding and comprehension of the concepts and ideas addressed during individual and treatment
