Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s. In 2012 the numbers of cases was 2,000. The fears are now concerned on the MMR vaccination, as now there is also a big group of children who did not received their vaccination. NHS urge parents to ensure their children receive the vaccination. This shows that many parents are sceptical to the vaccinations, what might have negative consequences for children.
Research • Rastam and Gillberg (1991) found that 14% of anorexics had experienced a negative life event in the three months prior to the disorder onset whereas none of the controls had. • Other research supports this, but such research is correlational and retrospective so hard to interpret. • Childhood sexual abuse is a risk factor, but not every abused child grows to develop an eating disorder, nor is it clear why there should be a link. Research • Casper and Lyubomirsky (1997) suggest that adverse early experiences lead to other psychopathologies underlying eating disorders. • Polivy and Herman (2002) suggested that where a person feels their life is `out of control` in some way, controlling themselves and their body and weight provides them with a sense of control.
Whereas if my child gets one of the viruses or diseases from not being vaccinated it can be fatal to not only my child but spread to other children who are not vaccinated. The evidence to support my viewpoint is that there is still no concrete evidence supporting the theory that getting your child vaccinated causes things such as autism and that it will weaken their immune systems. I read “According to a 2003 report by researchers at the Pediatric Academic Society, childhood vaccinations in the US prevent about 10.5 million cases of infectious illness and 33,000 deaths per year.”( "Vaccines ProCon.org", n.d., p. xx) If you were to not get your child their vaccinations they are at risk for getting the disease/virus and this could be fatal, and it is not only bad for them but could spread to other children as well this increases the risk of spreading the disease whereas if they were all vaccinated there would be no risk of
And getting the pardon was not easy to achieve. Derek’s family and members of the public had to fight to get a pardon, just like they had to fight to save him from capital punishment in the first place, and that had failed. It took almost 45 years. Right from the start, there was no solid case presented in court to convict Bentley. The fact that Bentley had developed epilepsy after a life threatening fall when he was 5 and was proven to have the mind of a young child, even in his late teen years, did not seem to appear in court as defence for why he should not be hanged.
The body was so damaged that identification of the body was impossible. Police officials reasoned that the child had been abandoned in a dumpster at birth, probably by the mother. Unable to determine the baby’s identity, the police decided to see if there were any women who had been pregnant and now were not pregnant but did not have a baby. The first step in this process was to identify all the women who have been pregnant at the appropriate time in this same town of 10,000 residents. Police subpoenaed the records of Planned Parenthood to obtain the names of women who had received positive results on pregnancy tests in the previous nine months.
Gianna Bianca 04/04/2013 Protecting the Children with Jessica’s Law Every two minutes in the United States, someone is sexually abused. 44% of these victims are under the age of 18 years old (CDC). These statistics are bold, but even worse – these crimes can be prevented. Crimes against children that involve sexual abuse can be prevented in one giant way: by keeping the predators in prison there they belong. This seems like a no brainer, however some judges and members of senate disagree that these illicit crimes are punishable by lengthy sentences and strict court conditions.
My first report will be on the failure to protect Baby P. He suffered horrific abuse, yet the same social work department that was criticised in the Victoria Climbie case never took him into care despite a number of warning signals and injuries. The failure to protect Baby P was because of poor practice by health professionals, social workers, police and lawyers rather than systematic breakdown, a serious case review found. Professionals in the London borough of Haringey saw the boy 60 times before his death, caused by his mother and stepfather, and the inquiry found agencies communicated with each other and procedures were largely followed. However, there was a poor flow of information in some areas. Despite being on the child protection
Initially public reactions to tough anti-gang policies were favorable as nearly 14,000 youth were arrested between 2004 and 2005 in El Salvador alone. Despite initial public support, these policies have led to a massive swelling of prisons and also have failed to improve violent crime
According to Administration on Aging, the older population persons 65 years or older numbered 39.6 million in 2009 represented 12.9% of the U.S. population, about one in every eight Americans. Marshall and Altpeter (2005) have acknowledged by 2005, with the ageing of the baby boomers, the number of older adults ages 65 and older will triple, and the proportion of the 85 plus age group will increase to about five percent of the total population. The fastest growing age group in the United States is the elderly. So what is ageism? Dr. Robert Butler, a renowned gerontologist and the first director of the National Institute on Aging in the USA, originally defined ageism in 1969 as stereotyping and discrimination against people because they are old (McGuire, Klein, & Chen 2008).
Poor parenting along with divorce or any separation or abandonment of a caregiver can have effects that would cause BPD. Research affirms that “30% report that they lost or had a prolonged separation from their parents in childhood” (2011, PBS). It is also reported that around 70% of kids who have been sexually or physically abused also have BPD (2011, PBS). This, however, doesn’t mean that everyone in these situations develop Borderline Personality Disorder. It just suggests that instability and childhood neglect and trauma play a heavy roll in the development, just as much as Genetics
