Recommended: Importance of good parenting

For the past four years I have realized that I am passionate about the lives of our children. I have learned the importance of educating people during infancy and adolescence. When we are young we are like a sponge; people feed us information and we observe their behavior and we soak that information and those behaviors in. The information we learn during our childhood is what helps build us into the person we will be as adults. Children who live in a home with a happy family are fortunate enough to have a higher possibility of success rather than someone who does not have a roof over their heads, living in a violent environment, has no parents/guardians, living in poverty, etc. There is a lack of attention in the system to try to prevent incidents

  • Child Welfare System Case Study

    1752 Words  | 4 Pages

    The child welfare system originated with the goals that social workers would try and alleviate poverty and its impact; however, as the years have passed, the child welfare system turned into a child protection system directed toward investigating abuse and neglect, and removing children from families and placing them in foster care, and is no longer prepared to assist in resolving the problems of child poverty (Lindsey, 2004). A child welfare system has been developed around the residual approach, which demands that aid should be given only after the family is in crisis or other support groups have failed to meet a child’s minimal needs. However, over the years, there have been different focuses for the child welfare system, whether it involved addressing the issue of abandoned and orphaned children or the increased demand for child protection, resulting in the decrease of child welfare services (Lindsey, 2004). Police are sometimes stereotyped to be rugged, single-minded enforcers who are insensitive to families in their most vulnerable state (Cross, Finkelhor, Ormrod, 2005).

  • The Pros And Cons Of The Child Welfare System

    1317 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is true that sometimes the Child Welfare system lets its children down and ends up raising offenders. However, that is not to say that what they do is simply or even mostly a failure, I am merely attempting to turn random stars into constellations. There are great changes that are made in this system. I have witnessed cases progress from being supervised visits to becoming monitored visits. I have seen mothers taking home their babies and children returning home because the parents have met their return conditions. I have seen parents who were hopeless drug addicts reach milestones by staying clean. I have heard cases of mothers who were repeat domestic violence victims set limits to their ex-abusers and seen a father learn how to hold a

    ...ntion and resources. Therefore, we, as a society must cast away all our doubts and hesitation embedded in our culture and initiate an entire movement of change. With society, adults, educators, schools, and children taking part in the prevention of child abuse and its criminal consequences, it is possible to achieve a long-term solution. We need to make the invisible world of child abuse and its dangerous aftereffects visible. We must emphasize that with dedication and effort, the utter elimination of abuse, maltreatment, and neglect towards our children is absolutely possible. The greatest contribution America can make in breaking the cycle of crime and solving the problems we created ourselves is to face them head on, reverse the trends that have our society and its children heading the wrong way, and not hurt, but nurture and cherish the spirit of our future.

  • The Impact Of Low Wages, Crumbling Society

    The change in our society from having rich, middle, and poor economic statuses has caused our society to crumble. The increase of low waged workers has increased tremendously. The decline in wages cause parents to work 2-3 jobs just to make the bills, which in turn has caused parents and children’s relationships to fail, which also in turn cause the children to have behavioral issues, which in turn cause violence rates to increase. Every time you turn on the television, all you observe and hear about is violence in our world. Our society is crumbling out of control due to the low wage jobs and inequality of wages among workers and if not addressed and improved our future will not survive.

  • Persuasive Essay About Child Abuse

    1733 Words  | 4 Pages

    Could you imagine how children must feel when they are abused by someone that is supposed to love and protect them, and nothing is done to help them? For this reason, it is important to realize there are legislative laws protecting child abusers from hate crimes, and excuses certain people from mandated reporting abuse. In fact, almost five children die every day as a result of abuse. Also, money is spent to convict and imprison child abusers which could be put towards programs that help people to recognize and prevent abuse. Children are the future; therefore, it is important for them to grow up in an environment they can thrive, feel safe and free from harm. After all, as the old saying “It takes a village to raise a child” stands true to this day. Now is the time for everyone to put forth the extra effort to create ways to bring child abuse, a growing epidemic to an end. As responsible citizens it is the duty to report when child abuse is suspected, create laws that

  • Reflection About Child Abuse

    1021 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Denver, Colorado a couple had absolutely neglected to parent their children. With feces piled high, trash spread throughout the house, and communication occurring through grunts and gestures, these parents needed a reality check. Not all parents choose to take parenting classes, in their case, they were assigned to. I believe all parents should take one, because not everyone is prepared for children. When one of their sons needed to go to the doctors for a cut he got on his head, the doctors were surprised to see a bruise on his ear and he reeked the smell of cigarettes. A cop and human services worker were sent out to their house and discovered the horrible environment. I am glad that from taking this class I was able to learn more about mandated reporters and their duties. Before, I never knew that a doctor could be the one to see all of this happening and be the one to bring others attention to the
