Case Study Critique
In the case study of the Jackson Home the case workers were not aware of the conditions of the home because for one thing the lights were turned off. The parents could have hid the children that were not feed so that the case worker did not see them. I think that if you are going to check a house for five months and there is no food in the refrigerator and the lights have been turned off then there is something wrong with those parents and that is irresponsible. If that happened then the caseworker really didn’t care about the children in my opinion.
In this case I believe that the nine members of the Division of Youth and Family Services

    Through the years the news has reported on several cases similar to the Jackson case. Each time this kind of neglect case is brought to light the public often wonders what happened. The most difficult part of this case is that the children were so malnourished they were not even growing at an average rate for children of their age. How could this have gone on for so long?…

    A Summer’s Silent Famine In recent years the growing rate of starving children in the world, and also majorly in the United States, has affected many families and children of all ages. In “School’s Out for Summer” by Anna Quindlen, The author Anna writes and discusses in a 1st person view of what it’s like for everyday people that struggle to feed their family or kids just for a few meals a day and the rising hunger problems that ensue. Anna, often wittily, throughout the article goes into detail how many families and schools who are not in government-funded food programs are forced to make ends meet at the end of their child’s school year to provide lunches and meals at home. She seems to see the U.S.’s epidemic as pretty hypocritical…

    On July 5, 2011, Casey Anthony is found not guilty of child abuse or manslaughter of a child, however, she is guilty of providing four counts of false information to law enforcement. For her false information charges, Anthony is given four years in prison and a fine for each count. On August 12, 2011, for check fraud, Casey Anthony must serve a year of probation. “Anthony was acquitted of the murder charge, but found herself loathed by the general public” (Biography 1). The general public recognized the unfairness of the verdict because many saw that the case was viewed in a deceiving perspective. Many agree that she was looked at as a mother who was hurt by the loss of her child instead of the main suspect in her daughter’s…

    The brutal murder of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey on Christmas night in 1996 shocked America to its core. Just as the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and murder seven decades earlier had seared the nation's consciousness, this murder – of a beautiful and talented child in a wealthy Boulder, Colorado home --renewed every parent's worst nightmare. It has been nearly three years since this violent crime occurred and no one has been brought to justice.…

    Growing Up Empty is a chilling account of the struggle to get enough to eat that confronts far too many Americans, especially children, in what is considered to be the wealthiest country in the world. In her book, Ms. Schwartz-Nobel tells the stories of men, women and children who are confronted with the tragedy of hunger in their lives. In a country where dieting is an art form, people still have a very difficult time believing that there are people in our great nation who cannot afford to eat. Tragically, the problem of hunger in America is still very misunderstood and has not made any major improvements over the past twenty years. Growing Up Empty was written as an update to her first book about hunger, Staving in the Shadow of Plenty which was written in the early 1980's. In Growing Up Empty, she explores the personal dimension of hunger (especially children) in the United States today and the different faces of hunger in each of her chapters; such as, Hunger and the Middle Class, Hunger and the Working Poor, Hunger and the Military, Hunger and the Homeless, and Hunger and the Immigrants and Refugees. I won't go into further detail about each of these chapters at this time, because their titles are pretty descriptive in themselves. This book is another cry for help and hopefully a means of creating a voice for the…

    Hunger in America can be hard to recognize. With how the economy is now, the effects of hunger are more severe. Many Americans are relying on food stamps and private organizations to help with this crisis. Millions in this nation are currently suffering from hunger in America. Half of that being from job loss. More than 12,000,000 children suffer from food insecure hunger because of limited or uncertain access to nutritious food. About 900,000 are hungry in the three- country Detroit metropolitan area alone. The hardest hits are the elderly, the unemployed, immigrants, and the mentally and physically impaired.…
