P1 Outline why children and young people may need to be looked after away from their families Interviewer: Why do you think some children need to be looked after by the state? Interviewee: I think some children need to be looked after by the state because of family breakdown. Bereavement/loss of the parent as it is the hardest thing to deal with especially when there is a child involved. This will be hard for the parent as they have lost their partner and know they have to look after the child on their own. This may cause difficulties because the child could become neglected.
There are many different reasons to why children may be taken away to be looked after away from their families. The following reasons are: • Bereavement- this is the death of a parent which then results in the child having nobody to care for the child. Bereavement can cause the family to be dysfunctional, causing the family unable to function properly which will then put pressure on the family and causing the child to either optionally become a looked after child or a care order out in place. Bereavement can put a lot of stress on a family and commonly stress and responsibility do not work well together. • Parental illness- if the parent becomes too ill to look and care for the child then the child may either be optionally put into care or a care order put in place to remove the child.

But most of the times its the insecurity of the parents especially in the major chunk of the middle class population of India, that determines the decision making of the parents towards their children. Every decision they make depends on which aspect of the child and the perception of the parent at that point of time. Sometimes what the parent could not achieve in life, they want to achieve such lost or unattempted goals through their children, Consequentially with the change of time, the interest levels of the child are undermined and sacrificed. What the parents could not achieve then, must have been pertinent then...but not today. It is this missing link of the thought process, which brings in conflicting situations in
In the instance that a mother is abusing drugs and applying for welfare, she probably isn’t adequately caring for her children in the first place due to the drug usage. Denying welfare assistance because she is on drugs only puts more of a burden on the children.

If a child’s behaviour cannot be managed and controlled by their parents/ guardians and is causing stress and ill health to anyone in the household then they may require them to be looked after by someone other than their parents/guardians.

Many things contribute to a person’s death wish. A person may find living to be a huge pain in the rear end, or they may think that nothing better will come along the way. Many other things will also affect it. According to Dr. Iga’s studies on suicidal behaviors “weak ego; restraint on aggression; a lack of social resources” will also affect if a person will commit suicide or not (Iga). We need to stop abusing of people that are different from us because of whatever reason.
If it teaches us to control rash-violent behavior and to respect the rights of the others, conversely it can also be the family which can make a child aggressive, antisocial or violent (Wright and Wright). The psychologist Carl Jung noted that the children tend to live out their unconscious conflicts of their parents. • According to Wright and Wright (1994), the family is the foundation of human society. Children who are rejected by the parents, who grow up in the homes with certain considerable conflicts, or who are poorly supervised by their parents are at the greatest risk of becoming delinquent. • Immarigeon says that if anything would play a large part in delinquency, it would be family.
