Abuse By Her Father: Video Analysis

Decent Essays
I agree with you. The video was very uncomfortable to watch because of how Beth graphically detail her abuse by her father. I could only imagine what Beth mother must have went through. I hope Beth mother’s family did autopsy since this Beth father is cable of committing such hinnes crime/abuse. There is a chance he might have done something to Beth mother. Anyway, I think Beth want to stay away from people before she does not want to get hurt anymore. Or I guess as you stated, she knows what she can do and she does not want to kill her family. Yet, she was already hurting her brother and she does not feel bad about it. I wonder why Beth wants to kills her adapted parents and her brother and they were supportive of her?
I was happy when

The length of each phase depends on the individuals involved, although the period between violent outbursts tends to be shorter over time. In terms of risk assessment, police officers should be aware that a victim who has left the relationship or has threatened to leave might be in increased danger.…

    There are four key steps to follow to help you to identify and respond appropriately to possible abuse and/or neglect. It may not always be appropriate to go through all four stages sequentially.

However, it will be the role of social workers and the police to investigate cases and make a judgement on whether there should be a statutory intervention and/or a criminal investigation.…

    When working in a care setting, especially with service users with physical disabilities, workers need to acknowledge that the service users are vulnerable to abuse. This is because people with physical disabilities are so much more dependent on care givers to supply them with the support they need in order to live clean and healthy lives. Two of the main types of abuse that care workers will face when working with vulnerable and disabled service users are physical abuse and neglect. NSPCC (2015) states that physical abuse is deliberate and unlawful physical contact that causes harm to the victim, whether the damage caused is intentional or not; it can happen to men and women of all ages. Physical abuse usually ends in the victim suffering…

    In Zoe Zolbrod’s The Telling, Zolbrod narrates the causes and the lasting effects of her own sexual abuse at the hands of her cousin, Toshi, who lived with her family for a year. The memoir does not only focus on this event in her life, but also explores the development of her sexuality, relationships, and motherhood. One of the main focuses of her memoir is the idea that not every victim’s story of sexual abuse conforms to the same narrative and how this is the reason so many questions go unanswered when considering childhood sexual abuse. Her own story was significantly different, in the way that it affected her and how she grew up relatively happy and content with her home life.…

    Since the early history even in the Old Testament, there were children without families that were being cared for as a sense of duty. Widows were given children to care for with the financial support the church would provide for their care. According to the National Foster Parent Association (2017) in England, children were given into indentured service as a means to be cared for as well as learning a trade, compared to children left homeless and skill less. Though indentured service provided room and board it also over looked the abuse these children endured.…

    Current conceptions of child abuse and neglect in Western society are strongly correlated with the historical and ongoing social construction of childhood. Childhood is not something that is natural or a biological stage of life. During the course of this essay, it will be argued that in Western society families and childhood are socially constructed and definitions of childhood change with definitions of child abuse and neglect through space and time. Families are socially constructed because they are seen as this safe, stable, loving, heterosexual, patriarchal and nuclear family (Mandell & Duffy, 2011, p.278). There is also this belief that families are a safe haven and a place of security (McCauley, 2015).…
