Problem statement Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) defines abuse and neglect as "any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker, which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse, or exploitation, or an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm." ("What Is Child Abuse and Neglect? (Fact Sheet)", (2018) Modernly, there has been a rise in abusive/neglectful households with no true rhyme or reason. Although there have been scientific studies to provide us with the typical victim there is generally, no obvious signs of abuse until physical appearances are affected.

Non offending mother and father not most effective ought to assist their youngsters get over maltreatment, but additionally need to address their personal complicity in permitting the maltreatment to arise, or in failing to apprehend the signs and symptoms of abuse of their children.

It is also important to note that students have the responsibility to educate themselves on the situation and develop a better understanding of what aggression is. Parents have the responsibility of monitoring their child’s behavior and actions, especially when using the internet. Pediatricians have the obligation of informing and reminding parents about the dangers of cyberbullying. Once parents, pediatric doctors, and students fulfill their responsibilities of preventing cyberbullying, then these high school students have a higher chance of being mentally healthy.     References Cassidy, W., Faucher, C., & Jackson, M.

Some argue that it contributes to crime while others are of the opposing opinion that school dropout discourages delinquency. Through this post, I argue that school dropout facilitates delinquency. Transition from childhood to adulthood is confusing and complex. Schooling is an important aspect in one’s life. It ensures discipline is installed in the kids and guide their behavior and sets limits to help them learn on how to take care of themselves.

In early childhood development it is important to for children to learn positive values, which ultimately will affect their personality and behavior during their entire life course development (Elrod & Ryder, 2014). Furthermore, microsociological criminologists examine how various social institutions such as family can encourage or inhibit criminal behavior through imitation and modeling (Bohm & Vogel, 2011). Therefore, delinquency is considered an early form of deviance, and this behavior is often replicated throughout family lineage (Elrod & Ryder, 2014). Consequently, a review of thirty-nine studies, indicated genetic predispositions are deleterious in adverse environments which include socially disorganize areas, poor familial structure, lower social classes, and adult violence (Bohm & Vogel,

This type of family will greatly affect the behavior of the child because the parent’s (either mother or father) attention will be shifted to their new spouses and sometimes forget their children. This will give a big impact to the behavior of the child because he or she feels neglected or loneliness. But the major composition of a family that surely gives a big impact to the child is a broken family. The family can be broken in a variety of ways; Divorce, annulment, separation, desertion, and death mean that the family is structurally incomplete. When children are placed in institutions or in foster homes, family ties are broken.

Tragedy in Child Protection There are many flaws throughout the child welfare system that can hinder its overall goal of protecting children. There have been several cases in child protection that have resulted in tragedy, either within the foster care system itself, or in the child’s biological home. Child Protective Services (CPS) is a government agency that exists to protect children from neglect and/or maltreatment. The purpose of CPS is to ensure that the child is in a safe environment. There are a considerable amount of cases where CPS workers did not protect the children by not placing them in adequate environments.

ESEA also included "the provisions for school library resources, textbooks and other instructional materials, supplementary educational centers and services which sought [seek] to educate in remedial instruction and the handicapped, educational research, training and grants" (“Elementary and Secondary Education Act”, 1965). After these implementations of new programs in the late 1960s, such as the support of migrant students, Congress noticed an improper use of federal funding among public schools receiving government aid (Klein, A. (2015, March 31), The Nation 's Main K-12 Law: A Timeline of the ESEA http://www.edweek.orgiew/section/multimedia/the-nations-main-k-12-law-a-timeline.html), and from that point on, the impact of funding began to slowly decrease. By renewal of ESEA from 1979 to 1981, "federal spending on K through 12 education lagged" while a new birth of standardized testing and school improvement plans began (Klein, A. (2015, March 31). The Nation 's Main K-12 Law: A Timeline of the ESEA http://www.edweek.org(ew/section/multimedia/the-nations-main-k-12-law-a-timeline.htm). By the early 1990s President Bill Clinton signed the "Improving America 's School Act" which called for states to develop "standards and aligned testing for all students"

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to discuss and explain the daunting task of a case manager in the foster care system. Foster care children can be from the ages of infant to their teens. The state removes the children from their parents or families due to abuse, abandonment, or parental incar-ceration. Some of them are orphans that are in the custody of the state. Many of them have expe-rienced adversities and exposure to harsh environments at a very young age.

Another way to improve the foster system is to have background checks, making sure that the people they hire, and foster parents aren’t abusive and horrible to the kids. The background checks for foster parents or caretakers could save abuse for the kids, and maybe even death, they can help determine whether or not if this is a person they want the kids around. This is shown in an article named, “U.S. Foster Care a Flawed Solution that leads to more Long-Term Problems”, they explain the lives of kids who have experienced awful people they were sent to live with. The author wrote, “Removed from the home of a mentally ill parent… Within months, the mother’s condition deteriorated and the child was killed,” (Stone, 2014).
