Some ideas and theories in science meet with resistance. One of the examples when an idea is meeting with the resistance is immunization. More often children immunization meets with public resistance. As the vaccination of children is parents' decision many decides not to do it. 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.
However, when information is removed from textbooks, part of history is distorted. Due to this alteration of facts, the agony and despair felt by the victims of unimaginable and devastating acts would be forgotten. For example: “Leilani Muir was 10 when her mother committed her to Alberta’s Provincial Training School for Mental Defectives. On the Basis of a single IQ test, she was labeled a ‘moron’. Four years later, she was admitted to the school clinic, supposedly to have her appendix removed.
Birth Defects enable the child to be fully developed. Babies born with a meth addiction can Suffer from low birth rate, tremors, attention deficit disorder, and other birth defects. An unborn child is not protected while in their mother’s uterus, so he/she are exposed to whatever the carrier intake is. An infant who has been exposed to drugs before birth has in increased risk of dying of SIDS also known as “crib death”. Behavioral Problems: Parental substance abuse can be destructive to a family and the relationship that exists within the unit.
As mentioned before other environmental influences that can affect development are accidents and illness. According to the book "Development Accross the Life Span" by Feldman, children between the ages of 5 and 14, have a higher rate of injuries. Car accident are the most frequent type of injuries for children at this age, followed by burn, drowning and gun accident. These traumatic experiences can affect the child mental development.

Has Marianne ever discussed end of life care or issues with her husband and children? What percentage of quality of life does the Physician think Marianne will have post-surgery? Marianne’s husband should be informed and made to understand that her brain is not functioning, she is unable to breathe on her own and she may never be able to do so again. The care team must explain to the family if there are any other options she may have available at the state of her well-being. Information should be thoroughly given to the family pertaining to what her quality of life will be pre and post-surgery.
The parent of the child should always be present should anything happen and the parent needs to be contacted. The parent must take some of the blame in not calling the hospital once she was told the procedure would be only 45 minutes. She was gone for 2 ½ hours before she returned back to the hospital. The Doctor-Dr. Munoz stated that he has all the pertinent patient information but did not make sure that his office had communicated this information to the hospital admissions staff The Pre-OP Nurse-Ms. Doppke failed to properly document the mother’s cell phone number in the patient’s medical chart. Therefore, during the post-op care, the mother could have been reached and notified the procedure was finished.
The fact that the parents could, and even would, deny their infant son such basic needs simply due to the fact he had been declared mentally retarded seems a major ethical faux pas. Simply based on the five focal virtues created by Beuchamp and Childress (Darr), there were multiple areas where the case of Baby Boy Doe failed to meet these criteria. Compassion could be argued, in that possible compassion for the parents may be cited, but compassion for the infant was woefully absent. Discernment, rather viewed as judgment of sensitivity, failed for the infant, although sensitivity toward the parents could be argued. Trustworthiness and integrity were adhered to as best as possible during the time period in which the case presented.
907-928. Topic This paper focuses on the aftermath of domestic and family violence and investigates the impact this violence has on children and their primary carers. In conjunction with this study, the author questions the 2006 reforms to the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (‘FLA’). Alexander’s premise is that the reforms have done little to adequately resolve the issues for the victims and in some cases have made matters worse. Many victims continue to experience violence long after the court proceedings have finished.

From Academic One File Nationwide the drug meth is harming children, and devastating families, the child welfare agencies and law enforcement have joined together to help stop some of the problem, this drug is so addictive it has made it hard for the welfare agencies to secure the government resources and community support. The article speaks of some of the ways that agencies are trying to slow the problem. It is with education, advertising and community action programs, these programs are addressing children ages twelve to seventeen years of age. The article also states that an estimated 20,000 children in foster homes care could leave the system if permanency option like federally supported guardianship were offered.
Also, if the child is passed frequently throughout the infant years from orphanages and foster homes, there is no permanent bond formed with any caregiver for the child. Neglecting, abandoning, and not having a stable home are the most dangerous causes of Reactive Attachment Disorder. There are many other causes for a child developing RAD. According to Nancy Thomas, those are unwanted pregnancy, pre-birth exposure to trauma, drugs, alcohol, separation from primary caregiver due to illness or death, on-going pain such as ear infection or colic, and caring for the baby on a timed schedule which is self-centered
