Pros And Cons Of Getting Custody When You Have Not Been Around

Every year, 2 million children come into contact with the child welfare system due to investigations of parental abuse or neglect (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2004). A recent policy implemented by Anytown’s Department of Job and Family Services pertains to the issue of child endangerment. It states that, “any household having one or more documented offenses of domestic violence, child abuse, or drug or alcohol related offenses committed by the mother, father, guardian, and/ or caregiver, will result in the removal of any child or children from the home.” The child will be placed in the care of the state until documentation can be provided on the offender, whereas they are “offense free” for a period of no less than six

This can be a difficult and stressful time for the other spouse to go through, especially knowing you have to look after your child yourself without any support from their partner. This can also affect the spouse financially as she will have to financially provide for the child as well as herself. This can lead; to depression and other forms of destress. It is important that the child knows what has happened and where his father has gone.

The overarching goal of Child Protective Services (CPS) is to protect children from instances of future abuse or neglect. In general, CPS is responsible for investigations of allegations of abuse and neglect, to initiate child protective proceedings and place children into foster homes when needed, with each state taking a different approach in how their agency is structured and operated. In the state of New York, CPS “first obligation is to help the family with services to prevent its break-up or to reunite it if the child has already left home” (FindLaw, 2016). The protection of the child focuses “on the child in the context of the family, and recognizes the value of the family to the child” (NY Committee on Children and Families, 2001).

In Arizona, relocation of a minor child when there is a written agreement or court order between two parents (both residing in the state of Arizona), is regulated by Arizona Revised Statute 25-408.

Thompson, the statute can be cited in relation to relocation within the state of Arizona.

The evaluation of risk assessment instruments generally includes broad categories of areas related to abuse and neglect, behavioral descriptions, procedures to determine levels of risk, and standardized forms to record this information (Rycus & Hughes, 2003). In the process of screening for a case study, instruments are used to determine if the child or family needs further assessment, treatment, or intervention services.

A number of kids in care are kept safe from harm, although a small percentage are still at risk of neglect or abuse. Children enter care for a variety of reasons, but most enter because they have been neglected or abused. These past experiences can leave the children with mental health and emotional needs, which can leave them more vulnerable to further abuse. Many of these children also move between placements and are in and out of care. This can stop them forming relationships with adults who could protect them.
