    The article I just read recently, was “Children’s Arrests in Bullying Case Distress Tennessee City” written by Christine Hauser. Hauser writes about how children of the ages of 12 years old were arrested for bullying a boy.

One of the children was recording the whole incident while the boy was being beaten up and later had posted it on YouTube. After the arrest of the children’s parents and churches started to gather up at the city hall and demand the police officers to drop the charges described as “criminally responsible for the conduct of another”.

    The term child abuse was once as rarely heard as that of pink elephants. However rare the term has once been, it is now a term used consistently throughout the news and various other publications today. Along with the progressing decline in society's morals, has come the rapid increase of crime. One such crime is child abuse. Although child abuse is common, the act is defiling. As a result of the abuse, children who fall victim to this often need psychological treatment and counseling. Often, the child is never the same as he or she once was before. The dictionary defines child abuse as: "the physical, or emotional, or sexual mistreatment of children" (Dictionary.com). Everyday thousands of children are the victims of this abuse. The abusers range from parents, friends, total strangers, to even day-care workers.…

    On Friday, 57 year old Robert Lewis Dear killed 3 people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The man brought duffle bags full of weapons to the clinic such as handguns, rifles, and propane tanks and proceeded to shoot at random at the people inside and surrounding the building. Their is no explanation behind why the Planned Parenthood clinic was targeted, but Dear had told investigators “no more baby parts” after his arrest. This leads investigators to believe he was acting on an anti-abortion agenda (Coffman). A policeman and two civilians were killed in the attack, and several more people were injured. Dear was taken in before a judge over video feed from the prison on Monday. Dear was wearing a protective vest to prevent him from harming himself when he appeared in front the court. Standing along with him in the video was public defender Daniel King who was representing him. King was also on the defense team for the Colorado movie shooter James Holmes. The only time Dear talked during the appearance was to answer questions the judge provided. They only things discussed were what charges were placed upon…

    Crimes and Misdemeanors

    • 2557 Words

    For the past fifty years, director and actor Woody Allen has evoked much laughter from his neurotic-style comedies. Less recognized, however, is his fascinating ability in utilizing both his stunning, humorous wit along with several philosophical concepts. Such a combination creates an engaged and thoroughly entertained audience, as well as a mentally-stimulated one. In his movie “Crimes and Misdemeanors,” the philosophical concepts Allen touches upon deal with ethical and moral issues. What does 'do the right thing ' really entail; why not do the opposite if it leads to one 's personal success? In the absence of a God, who 's to say whether the choices we make are right or wrong? Answering these questions say much about the way one sees the world. This movie investigates such questions by intertwining two separate, parallel plots: the tragic story of Judah, and the comedic story led by Cliff Stern .There are two key moral positions that underlie the entire movie: Those with faith in God perceive the world as morally structured, forgiving, and full of true meaning. Those who do not believe in a God see the world as empty, pitiless, and devoid of meaning. After watching this movie for the third time, a consistent metaphor that integrates these positions revealed itself. Throughout the movie, nearly every scene visually and verbally involves the use of 'eyes ' to symbolize our perceptions on how we see the world, and how people do not see themselves and events the way others may see it. Although there are several elements, characters, and events worthy of an individual analysis, this paper will concentrate on how Allen 's film represents eyes to unveil hidden truths. To illustrate the use of 'eyes ' in this film I will investigate its role in the lives of Judah, Cliff, and Rabbi Ben. Keep in mind that all four of these characters each wear over-emphasized glasses.…

    Woody Allen’s, “Crimes and Misdemeanors”, film paints a realistic picture of the real world in which we all live. His film brilliantly portrays the lives of how a large amount of people across this globe live their own life and does not attempt to “sugarcoat” any event that occurs in the movie; he merely tells it how it is and provides information for what people should expect in today’s world. Allen takes on the issue of the human races’ true beliefs of morality and what actually happens in the real world, in contrast to what typically takes place in movies. Allen transpires different events throughout his movie that create a lingering question for his audience on the thoughts of morality in a “godless” community.…

    A casual factor that was addressed in the video is: when there is an order in place, parties need to abide by the rules and regulations of the order or there will be an arrest. For example, the police had been called to a domestic dispute (in the video) in which the male involved had come over to his ex – girlfriend’s house, whom he had a child with, and tried to climb through the window. The dispatch also informed the officer’s that the man had a restraining order against him so; when they arrived he was arrested and taken to jail. The officers told the woman involved to think about her child and leave the man alone. They also asked her what she thinks it is doing to her child and the only response that she could give was, “I love him.” Sadly, in most cases like this, the child or children are often caught in the middle.…

    Child neglect is the failure to provide a child with basic needs. Child neglect is a form of maltreatment that is usually done to children by their parents or caregivers. “Child neglect is a term used most often to encompass parents’ or caretakers’ failure to provide basic physical health care, supervision, nutrition, personal hygiene, emotional nurturing, education, or safe housing” (Miller-Perrin, & Perrin, 2007). The issue with this definition is determining how much importance should be placed on parents “intentionality with regard to parental failure to provide” (Miller-Perrin, & Perrin, 2007). Along with this issue, raises the question about what happens if a family cannot afford to provide their child with basic needs? The United States Department of Health and Human Services (US DHHS) has broadened the definition of neglect to include this; “it distinguished between parental failure to provide when options are available and failure to provide when options are no available” (Miller-Perrin, & Perrin, 2007). Child neglect is looked at as an act of omission rather than an act of commission; but with this definition it did not include the parents or caregivers that did not provide for their child because of financial problems. The US DHHS also expanded the definition of neglect to include endangering a child, even if there is no actual harm seen, people are still considered a perpetrator if there is potential harm done. The movie Gone Baby Gone shows many different examples of neglect in a “real life” environment. Gone Baby Gone is a movie about a four year old girl, Amanda McCready, kidnapping. Two private investigators are hired to try and solve the case of who took Amanda. Amanda went missing because of the lack of care, neglect that her mother, Helene, was subjecting her to. Child neglect is the hardest type of maltreatment to define and is the most commonly reported type of maltreatment.…
