(It take a village, web) The community that have had its share of child abuse and neglect has a moral and legal obligation to promote the safety and welfare of all children, which includes making sure Children Protective Services involvement in families is vital and constant. CPS must be able to monitor those children most at risk for being abused or neglected regardless if the children are from low or high socioeconomic homes, but if we look deeper into CPS involvement in families we ask the question, Is CPS involvement helping or hurting the same families that they were committed to serving?

Most negative behaviors are a cry for help. Controlling a child’s behavior benefits everyone including themselves. Many factors contribute to a child’s behavior such as environment, relationships, and bullying. The way a child acts serves as a purpose.
We can’t protect children from all the things that may cause them distress throughout their lives. But we can help children become more resilient so that they are more able to cope with life’s uncertainties and problems. And all children, no matter what their background, will have to face problems and changes in their lives. So our support is really important in helping children become more resilient. 1.3 The good emotional health of children
Help can be a step very difficult to give, but it is the first step to have a quieter family life. The Child abuse is surely among the most serious and complex problems sonorants modern society. The quality of life of many children is deeply damaged by the abuse they experience in the home environment, the consequences of which can seriously affect the physical and psychosocial development of the child. The emotional damage as a result of child abuse can also last for the rest of life, severely limiting the ability of adults to the personal and social adjustment. Child abuse is one of the most serious social problems and dramatic damage to our society.
Child abuse is emotional when you are constantly blaming or putting down a child; excessive yelling, shaming. It is likely that emotional child abuse is greatly underreported, since it can be difficult to detect and difficult to document. Emotional child abuse includes acts of commission or omission by the parents and other caregivers that could cause the child to have serious behavioral, emotional, or mental disorders. In some instances of emotional child abuse, the acts of parents or other caregivers alone, without any harm yet evident in the child's behavior or condition, are sufficient to warrant the intervention of child protective services. For example, the parents or caregivers may use extreme or bizarre forms of punishment, such as confinement of a child in a dark closet.

L. Rowton My Early Childhood Education Autobiography I definitely agree that the degree of exposure that a child has to education while growing up has a huge impact on views one has later in life regarding early childhood education. For example, people such as parents, older siblings, teachers, babysitters, daycare providers, etc. can all provide different learning experiences for the child. Being around other children can also provide extremely valuable experiences for a child, as far as learning goes, and influencing social behavior as well. A child who does not have positive experiences with their early childhood education may suffer both academically and socially later on in life, lacking the proper groundwork toward a good, solid education, I believe it it extremely important to instill a positive outlook in a child regarding education and learning in general.

Therefore in order for intervention, to prevent further abuse or neglect of the child, to take place a social worker must be satisfied that the abuse is significant and produce evidence to support this. The vague nature of thie legislation and the constraints placed upon social workers who work with families and children contributes massively to the number of children failed by the system.
