    The foster care system in New York City is deeply flawed. Sixty-four percent of foster care children are impoverished in their adult lives, 50% of girls are pregnant within 12-18 months of aging out of the system, and 80% of all inmates on death row grew up in the foster care system. Foster care children should not have to fight against these statistics. The Felix Organization is providing solutions, through Camp Felix, Beyond Camp, the Felix Friendship Circle, and the Secret Santa Gift Exchange. Camp Felix, their largest program, is a four week long summer camp for children in foster care.…

    Duty to Warn

    • 2582 Words
    • 11 Pages

    Video presentation: The video clip was quite interesting I found it to be very educational as to the legal obligations of therapists in the mental health field. There were issues that were brought up that were quite important, such as therapists need to understand confidentiality, privileged information, and a therapists responsibility related to reporting suspected child abuse, elder abuse, and/or suicidal ideations, and possibly the most important of them all is a therapists duty to warn. The first case they were focusing on was the case related to a child that was presented in the ER and seen by Nurse Brown and now because she did not report any suspected child abuse she was charged with a crime. The statement that the character Constance Brandis made was quite succinct; Nurse Brown noted “the child was brought in unconscious and undiagnosed or undetermined distress. She notes bruises, she asked foster mother about them, she gets an explanation, and she buys it. Remember, this is a licensed foster care mother. The boy is treated at the hospital, recovers and then goes home” (Psychotherapy, 2008). After this statement the question that this character had was definitely the appropriate question she said “is Nurse Brown a criminal who might be put in jail was she breaking the law should she be punished”(Psychotherapy, 2008).…

    The negative effects of the system on foster children prove how the system fails to improve the lives of the kids it pledges to help and how critical it is that the government make an effort to improve foster agencies. No one would argue against how much kids need responsible adults in their lives. Most children, especially foster children many of whom have suffered abuse and neglect, need someone to keep them responsible and in line until they are old enough to mature and develop their own moral code. Several studies found that foster children are at a higher risk of becoming high school dropouts, homeless, incarcerated, or addicted to drugs. In addition, reports link foster children with having 15% lower standardized test scores and…

    Larsen guides the reader in understanding the compassion that would have been shown to the many thousands of children coming upon these unforeseeable circumstances. The modern foster care system is much different than the original Children’s Aid Society. Today there are over 400,000 children placed into foster care. The majority of them are no longer the children of immigrants as they were in the late 1800s. Today children are typically placed into foster care because their parents are deceased, there has been sexual abuse, neglect, incarceration, or medical neglect. “There are several reasons why children enter foster care. Sadly, many homes have more than one of the following issues and a child enters the foster care system for numerous reasons”(Carrie Craft).…

    Raising children is one of the most important responsibilities in any society. Today, working parents have many options, but what about those children who have neither a mother nor father? What about those children who come from broken and abusive homes? In such cases there are often few choices. Parentless children may be placed in orphanages or in foster homes. Ideally, foster care offers children more personalized attention than would normally be available at a public or private situation. However, orphanage care is notoriously uneven. While some children are indeed in loving homes, others find themselves neglected or even worse.…
