    In the beginning of his book he utilizes characterization to connect the reader to the fishermen and townspeople. “She’s a tall blonde who inspires crushes in the teenaged sons of some of her friends,” describes Junger, “but there’s a certain no-nonsense air about her that has always kept Bobby on his toes” (7).

    Child Abuse in the 1950

    When you read articles over child abuse and see the damage that has been caused and what has become of child abuse in today’s society the result is sickening. Child abuse has become a more common thing in today’s society. The fact that there are people in this world, who not only abuse but also neglect their children without consequence, because they are not caught, is even worse. Thankfully, there are many ways today to help save a child who suffers from child abuse. Child protection in America has been in action since the colonial period; “The history of child protection in America is divisible into three eras. The first era extends from colonial times to 1875 and may be referred to as the era before organized child protection. The second era spans 1875 to 1962 and witnessed the creating and growth of organized child protection through nongovernmental child protection societies. The year 1962 marks the beginning of the third or modern era: the era of government-sponsored child protective services.”(Myers, 1). Since the 1950s many laws have been implemented in order to protect children and keep them safe in our country. Children have become increasingly safer over the past fifty years, largely because of the effect of Henry Kempe’s article, “The Battered Child Syndrome” which lead to more informed doctors, better media coverage, and more effective protection and reporting laws. John Caffey was a pediatric radiologist born in 1895. He later became known as the “father of pediatric radiology” (Girdany, 1978). In 1946, Caffey released an article called “Multiple Fractures in the Long Bones of Infants Suffering from Chronic Subdural Hematoma” based on long bone fractures in infants. In his study he examined “6 patients who exhibited 23 fractures and 4 contusions of long bones.”(Caffey) in which he concluded suffered from chronic subdural hematoma. Although he could not prove anything, his observations seemed to be unexplained to say the least, “There was…

    Prolonged Abuse

    • 550 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Dianne Feinstein, a senior United States senator once said “Domestic violence causes far more pain than the visible marks of bruises and scars. It is devastating to be abused by someone you love and thinks loves you in return.” Although societal awareness and criticism of this issue has been increased in recent years, spousal abuse still remains a persistent issue because of the power and control held by the abuser and also, the fear that the victim suffer from these situations. Historically, women were seen as properties and it was not too long ago that the husband was legally allowed to beat his wife as long as the stick was not thicker than his thumb. People argue that the blame should still be on the woman because she should have seeked help or eloped. However, these people do not understand that mental disorder is also an element of this topic and sometimes, there’s really no possible way for the woman to escape. From these facts, I believe that prolonged abuse should be a defence for killing.…
