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.
• They did not identify, and manage, risks relating to the health, welfare and safety of patients. • They had not responded to or considered complaints and views of people about the service. • Investigations into the conduct of staff were not robust and had not safeguarded people. • They did not take reasonable steps to identify the possibility of abuse and prevent it before it occurred. • They did not respond appropriately to allegations of abuse.
It came back a year later that only 60% of these children that were treated were successful, while the rest failed, but it is stated that this medication is not for everyone and does have severe side effects. Some of the side effects are that of more sleep for the medicated, where as the unmediated can get less sleep. With Ritalin a child can become more depressed, but the pro would be the ability to focus more in school. In my personal opinion, you can medicate a child to death, but you need to understand the cause of the behavioral problem, before you can remove the cause. Just proving a child with medicine but not really knowing for what is not the answer.
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.
The lack of motivation caused by years of not having a job and watching your family suffer in poverty is a condition that not too many of us are familiar with. “Native American Poverty,” by Tom Rodgers justifies the allegations that a large percentage, about 25%, of the Native Americans live in poverty. “According to the US Census Bureau, these Americans earn a median annual income of $33,627. One in every four (25.3 percent) lives in poverty and nearly a third (29.9 percent) are without health insurance coverage.” The lack of money has become a huge component in the dismemberment of the culture that the Natives so lavishly submerged themselves into, and the picking up other undesirable traits such as drinking. The
1 – More than half of British children by the age of sixteen are obese and as a result, many have health related problems. 2 – One third of adolescents blame the lack of sports / activity sessions available to them and a lack of knowledge of such sessions available to them in their surrounding areas. 3 – More than one third of adolescents are unaware of the current recommended activity levels which should amount to THREE 30-40 minute sessions of physical, FUN activity each week. I think that it is important to provide a variety of enrichment activities during out of college hours time, not just focusing on the sporting element but also activities classed as non-traditional, such as dancing, frisbee and chess. It is important to develop sporting equality programmes within the college including activities for female students, students from ethnic minorities and “Ability Counts” (for students with learning
To begin, teenagers have an undeveloped brain that acts very similar to those of “seriously impaired” adults (Krikorian 39). According the article “Many Kids Called Unfit for Adult Trial…” by Greg Krikorian, “Thousands of juveniles tried as adults in the U.S. may be incompetent to stand trial because they are emotionally or intellectually unable to contribute to their own defense.” The brain of a teenager experiences major loss of brain tissue that controls their cognitive development, or the ability to control impulses, risk-taking, and self control (Thompson 45-46). This means that even though their accountability is not affected, teens still cannot control their erratic
Repeat Sex Offenders: Problem and Solution Repeat sex offenders are a serious social problem and policy-makers continue to wrestle with how to best address the public’s concern about it. In many sexual assault related cases the criminal is a repeat offender, this can be prevented with mandatory therapy and harsher punishment for first time offenders. According to the U.S Department of Justice within 3 years following their release, 5.3% of sex offenders were rearrested for another sex crime. This was proven through a sample study performed back in 1994 with 9,691 sex offenders. The study also showed that on average these offenders only served 3 ½ years of their 8 year sentence.
In order for the neurons to functions properly they have to contain Normal Tau without it the neuron would eventually die. Alzheimer’s usually appears after age 65 yet “In very few families, people developed AD in their 30s, 40s and 50s.” (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke ) The cause of AD is not firmly discovered yet many researchers believe that is generically inherited. Statistic show that it has the 4th highest dead rate among all dementia related diseases. The victim loses total control of their personality such as not being able to coordinate movement, recognize errors or
Three million child maltreatment reports were on record in 2004 [2005 Census]. Experts believe that this only accounts for one third of actual incidents. Without the occasional child death, most families slip through the cracks all together, tucked away unseen by society. Some communities prefer to keep these images far away, finding comfort in denial as long as no injuries result. Children’s needs are being ignored, a result of society’s perception, “it is a family problem, mind your own business”.
