When the teacher noticed that Jojo was rapidly losing weight, she contacted Anna, who told the teacher to mind her own business. Because Jojo continued to lose weight and was hardly able to move during class time, the teacher filed an abuse report for neglect. Jojo was removed from Anna’s care and placed in a foster home. Jojo gained weight and began to thrive in foster care. Whenever she visited with her mother, she cried and ran away from her.
As he grew older, Pickton frequently skipped school to stay home on the farm. Robert’s father was not involved in raising the children; he was known to be emotionally abusive towards Robert, causing Robert to feel neglected. His mother, Louise, might have done the best she knew how to, but she was apparently eccentric and tough on her children. It is said that Robert was very close to his mother. Louise was workaholic who ran the family meat business, she supervised the kids and expected them to put in long hours slopping pigs and looking after other animals, even on school days.
Her parents never realized that after every meal Rachel would secretly go to the bathroom upstairs and throw up everything she had eaten. Her father would beat her up and treat her like trash and her mother would just stand there and not say a word because she was weak and always did as Rachel’s dad said. In her kindergarten class, Rachel treated all the other little girls with rudeness, anger, and jealousy towards anyone who was better than her. She often spent her days in the principal’s office because of her strong character and misbehaviors. Rachel grew up, went through her dating stage, and then finally met a wonderful man that she could not picture herself without; a caring, positive, supportive husband that goes by the name of Tim.
P4 – Explain possible responses when dealing with two particular incidents or emergencies in health or social care setting D2- justify responses to a particular incident or emergency in a health and social care setting. The two incidents I have decided to explain are abuse and fire emergency. Case study 1: within a nursery (play group) there was a child; who is normally jolly and excited, but one day this child seemed very unhappy, distraught and upset; he was looking very tearful. I tried to get him to play with the other children but he kept refusing to do so, he shut his self from everyone in the room, he distanced himself by sitting much further away. I started to believe that he may be feeling unwell but this was not the case.
You have tried to demonstrate such practices, but recently, you have become aware of how your assistant staff respond to some of the children and are uncomfortable with these responses. You have noticed that: * Chris will discourage the boys from playing with the dress-ups, and in particular gets angry with Felix who often wears the wedding dress; * Rena has started to make comments about Emily who comes in at times, still in her night nappy and not having had breakfast; * Nour’s lunch is often taken off her when she eats with her fingers; * Mitchell is called a cry baby when he doesn’t settle shortly after arrival; * Kaila, who has cerebral palsy, is not encouraged to do her daily exercises, instead staff comment that the exercises are useless and won’t help her anyway; * Some children are starting to copy the staff’s comments / actions. When you refer to the centre policy handbook for some guidance, it states “We believe that all children should be treated fairly and equally. All children are offered the same opportunities and should not be discriminated against.” Upon reading this statement you are concerned that it does not represent inclusive principles and practices. You approach your coordinator about your concerns and the lack of guidance from the centre handbook.
He started eating out of bins and stealing other student's food at school. Daniel was eating constantly at his school; this is a sign of neglect because it meant that he was desperate and starving all of the time. 24 bruises were located on all over Daniel's body; further examination showed that he suffered brain injuries. This would have been suspicious because a child
Catherine would “forget” to feed him breakfast, and at dinner time he was to stand in the garage or the basement while the family ate. David began stealing food from kids at school just to survive. That didn’t last long, as the school started to catch on to the missing lunches, which led to phone calls from the principal home to Catherine. That led to less food at home for David, as well as many more beatings. David no longer existed in his family, and he was now referred to as “The Boy”.
A church I attended during my youth started a program entitled “Backpacks for Kids” in which members would meet one night a week to pack nutritious snacks into a backpack that were then issued to kids who were known to go home daily to an empty house. There would be enough healthy food in the pack to last the entire week. The recipients were particularly “at risk” children whose names were submitted from teachers within the local schools. These children had shown signs of malnutrition and weight loss, red flags for the teachers that the child was not able to have accessible food at home, for whatever reason. Some also even had bad dental decay, all of which are signs of indulging in excessive sweets while unsupervised at home.
School has become his only escape from his living nightmare and horrid home environment. His mother begins to deny him food, forcing David to steal the other children’s lunches at school. David is often caught doing so, thus making his mother even more infuriated; as well as setting David up for relentless bullying from his classmates. By the first grade, David had become an outsider to his own family. He was no longer allowed to eat meals alongside his family, play with his brothers, watch television, leave the house, or look at or speak to anyone.
However, an hour or so after the meal I told my parents that it was all an observation of their reactions to abnormal behavior, to which they laughed and told me how much of a fool I made myself look like. 6. From doing this, I learnt the extent to which little abnormalities distress and cause worry to other people. Therefore, it made me think how even the slightest things break our self-constructed social norms. Family Member | Physical Reaction | Verbal Reaction
