The children act was first introduced in 1908; this was passed by the liberal government at the time. Even thought the act was needed to protect children of the time it was surrounded by controversy. The main aims of the 1908 act were to regulate fostering, baby farming, and wet nursing. One of the greater aims of the 1908 act was to give local authorities power to keep children of poorer backgrounds away from workhouses and to ultimately protect them from abuse. (www.parliament.co.uk, 1998)…

The Child, Family and Service Act (CFCSA) documentation policy requires child welfare agencies to maintain documentation about assessments, actions taken and services provided for each child and family within established procedures and timeframes (Smith & Donovan, 2003). Social workers may be pulled into complicated battles between divorcing parents, child custody, or child abuse charges, which summon detailed documentation for someone in authority to use in decision-making (Leon & Pepe, 2010). Specially, “professionals in the child welfare system understand that if it is not written down, it is as if it never happened” (Mallon, Hess, & ebrary, 2005, 2010, p. 6). The child welfare caseworkers can be subpoenaed to produce client records and…
Family legislation acts may be passed but it still doesn’t change the discrimination towards women. The Family and Medical Leave Act is an act that was passed in the year 1993 during President Clinton’s term of presidency. This act was brought by strict guidelines to protect one’s right as an employee to take a medical leave absence from their jobs without the fear of being demoted, receiving lower payer, and even termination. This reform has widely helped American Workers to be able to both balance their career and personal lives knowing that there won’t be any consequences. Bill Clinton claims that this legislation being passed has had a major impact on his presidency “There are few greater joys for me as a private citizen than seeing the impact the FMLA has had on hardworking Americans over the last 20 years” (Clinton). This legislation seems to really focus on expected mothers because some women kept working till they were almost due because they knew their job was not guaranteed once they delivered their baby. Bill Clinton passing this legislation has really helped many women and men are able to take care of their health issues and even have a family. This legislation can be related to the class reading Split Dreams by Sharlene Nagy Hesse-Biber by the terms of the glass ceiling of women and men finally being able to have freedom to their personal issues and working women and their families.…
Many people can protest as much as they want but it must not disturb the state of calm in the state. Limits to rights defuses any potential harm that can happen although there is criticism indeed. There are many types of speeches each can be allowed with limited aspects in a school the rules are simple behave and do not cause a disturbance. In the Tinker V. Des Moines cases a group of kids wore the armbands that was controversial to some member of the faculty. The students accused the school of infringing their 1st Amendment rights. The students were simply stating their own opinion for themselves although it may have disrupted student it did not stop the educational process. The rights of students is very limited punishments are announced…
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, or FMLA, as it is usually called is thought to be one of the most important pieces of legislation by President Clinton. Housed in the Wage and Hour Division’s section on the Department of Labor’s website, along with guidance about break time for nursing mothers, and special rules for returning reservists, FMLA is in good company with other policies composed to ensure one overall theme, that families are supported no matter the circumstance. Whether it is an illness, a birth, a returning military personnel readjusting to their homes, FMLA is a security net meant to uphold a family to support itself. The legislation itself “…entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, [yet] job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons with no lapses in your employer provided health coverage under the same conditions one would have if they did not take leave (Dol.gov, 2015).…
The rights of children are being undermined by American civic laws. Children see a comfortable amount of protection from the government but several issues exist as a result of America still not ratifying The Convention on the Rights of the Child, meaning children are not being protected from abuse, malnutrition, and are not receiving basic health needs. one in four children in America go hungry everyday because of lack of food. This percentage of children is primarily of different ethnicity. A child must never go hungry no matter what ethnicity they are, America must protect their younger citizens (0-18 years of age) from going hungry. Abuse is something several children fear everyday with three million cases being reported, 10% being sexual…
With the advancement of technology comes increased connectivity to a digital world where our children find themselves with limited guidance. This new realm is one that parents and educators have continually tried to navigate in an attempt to create a safer place for our children. Parents try to protect their children by imposing restrictions on Internet usage, while teachers struggle to teach Internet safety and digital citizenship in the classroom. Holding our youth accountable for their online behavior in a society that values Internet sensaltionalism has proven to be difficult, causing those in positions of authority to ask themselves where to draw the line. As the answer to this question changes with each new case, and more and more children…
Yes, parents should not be blamed for making sure their kids get a proper education and keep their grades up. Also, helicopter parenting, from personal experience, is seen very rarely. Specially since the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act was passed in 1974. FERPA is basically an amendment that protects the records of students and prohibits anyone other than the student itself to access his or her grades. So, when Kohn states that “'Helicopter parenting' of college-aged students is neither as pervasive nor as pernicious as we've been led to believe” I agree with him. I look at my life and how I have been raised and how I live and I realize that I am very open when it comes to discussing all topics. I love arguments that make people reconsider their position of any topics whether it be: abortion, homosexuality, and religion. I was raised in a home where my parents where always making sure I kept an A or B average in all my classes and always at the top of my class and still I don’t feel coddle and I am not squeamish by talks of rape and abuse because I feel they are topics that need to be discussed. In that way mr. Kohn is completely…
