Child Welfare Elvira Craig de Silva Carla Thomas Ethical Issues in Human Services Organization Mrs. Carrie Cooper July 23, 2010 Before I begin I would like to take a moment of your time and give you some history about child welfare. Congress began to take an active role in the child welfare system with the adoption of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1974.

One reason would be individuals who are vulnerable and unable to protect themselves would be one purpose.

My last example for you would be this young parent that killed his baby because it cried too much. Now how easy would it had been to take your child to someone else until you come down. Abuse comes when people don’t think and just react. Or it’s just simply that they don’t care that’s why it’s important to have Child Welfare laws to look out for those that can’t look after themselves.
