    On a Research Journal on “Children's Rights” by Ruby Gutierrez, she discussed the importance of growing up and not doing the same mistakes that were made on Mary Ellen.

In 1894 this charter was amended allowing children to speak in court, and mental cruelty was recognized as a crime.…

    The large amount of cases per social worker is one large factor as to why children within the Child Protective Service System are not receiving equal or adequate care. There are an average of twelve to fifteen cases per social worker with a maximum load of seventeen cases at a time. The large amount of cases per social worker are due to significant budget cuts within the system. With this lack of funds, social workers are underpaid and overworked, leading to a shortage of individuals pursuing a career within the system. The large amount of cases per social worker has led to an inability for workers to dedicate too much attention to any one case, ultimately leading to inadequate care for children within the Child Protective Service System.…

    When an adult comes into contact with children in their daily line of work, that adult “has a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children”. Safeguarding means to protect and promote what is best for the welfare of the child and ensuring that there are sufficient measures in place to prevent the child coming into contact with abuse or an abusive situation. Child protection is protecting a child where there is reasonable belief that the child may have suffered or may be at high risk of suffering as a result of abuse.

    By not sharing details to where they live, surnames and dates of births etc to help protect identity, maybe from a parent who is likely to abscond but also from predatory people looking for a child or family who can be abused. This is information that can be used to obtain false information by having personal details such as health information, medication, whether or not the child is in care, or under the care of social services.

    Anytown’s Department of Job and Family Services recently implements a new policy regarding child endangerment. To most people you would think for anyone to be charged with child endangerment, it had to be a very serious matter.

Nevertheless, child endangerment occurs when a person engages in conduct that places a child in imminent danger of death, bodily injury, or physical or mental impairment.

    Child abuse has been around for a long period of time. Children have been subjected to abuse at the hands of their parents and other adults since the beginning of time. For many centuries, our laws failed to protect children against being abused. Under English common law children were considered property of their father and women were property of their husbands until the late 1800s. During the 16th and 17th century the American colonist carried this philosophy of children being property of their fathers until the early years of the United States.…
