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

    With the amount of cases that social workers have it is a wonder that they catch any of these neglect cases. The social services system is bogged down with work that each social worker carries a heavy case load and, unfortunately, this means that things go unnoticed. I feel that it is entirely possible that the case workers were asking the right questions however; maybe the parents had all of the right answers as well. When there was no food in the refrigerator maybe they simply explained that they needed to go grocery shopping and had not had time yet. A social worker does not have enough time to figure out who is lying and who is not. Although a social workers main concern is the welfare of the children, they also have to ensure that all of their families are seen in a timely manner. Whether we like to believe it or not our social workers may not have the time to ensure that the children in our system are being properly cared for.…

    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…

    Essay On Food Insecurity

    • 411 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In the past, the phrase “food insecurity” meant enough to me to donate canned goods to a local food drive, to donate time to bringing awareness to the phrase on my alma mater’s campus, and to donate manpower to help provide low-income members of the community valuable staples. I never thought it would come to mean the same to me as it did to the people I helped. I never imagined that for the last half of 2015, it would be my family for which the phrase “food insecurity” would describe. However, as schedules needed rearranging in order to fit pantry giveaway times, the phrase “food insecurity” became an ever-present force in my life. The phrase no longer represented a terrible aspect of society that needed to be eradicated—some abstract idea, something outside of my everyday life. Instead, “food insecurity” dominated my world, taking time, energy, and health into its grasp.…

    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.…
