Demarees Vs Walmart

Improved Essays
On Nov 25 2009, the Demarees family was sued by a Walmart employee for the parents’ taking nude photos of their young daughters, who were age 1.5, 4 and 5, and developing these photos in a Walmart in Arizona. The overly ardent employee took these photos to the local police without informing the Demarees family. Therefore the Child protective service (CPS) was notified and their children were put into “Isolated” state custody for about a month. The judge finally decided to return their kids because there is no indication about the child pornography.
First of all, in my opinion, the overly zealous Walmart employee should think before reporting to the local police, especially understanding the true stories behind these pictures instead of unintentionally

    The general knowledge was that any form of child abuse or neglect should be reported. The DHHS failed to report the abuse that Logan was received from Sally. The argument could have been made that Logan stated those abuse, because she wanted Sally seen as a bad foster parent. It was understandable that, when children acted out, they wanted to receive attention or to have things done their own. The case worker assigned to Logan and Bailey’s case should have been held responsible, because the child stated that she was abused and no action was taken.…

    Every year, CPS and other organizations that are child welfare supporters, causes defenseless children their lives by keeping them with their abusive families too long.

    Although states across the country have a plethora of issues, Arizona in particular, has many problems that could be handled more efficiently. The most alarming, however, is the amount of child abuse and neglect that frequently occurs. Instead of focusing on the well being of innocent children, Arizona continues to focus on more trivial problems. This state has one of the worst child welfare services in the country. As an example, earlier this year, the state of Arizona was sued by the federal government for their extremely poor efforts to protect and care for children in state custody.…

    For example, in an impressive column concerning the workloads and unemployment of CPS case workers in Texas, Terri Langford claims that “there are more than 200 investigative positions with CPS in Harris County, but 33 of those positions are vacant, and another 22 caseworkers are still in training and not actively working abuse cases.” Moreover, a number of case workers are “let go” each year due to publicity scandals. We need to look no further than Jon Cassidy’s article, “The Impossible Job of Child Protective Services” to understand the complexity of a CPS case being published in the news or on social media. As a result, Cassidy’s article provides ample evidence to conclude that the publication of a child abuse fatality usually results in CPS firing the case worker, despite their efforts to help said child, in order to satisfy the public’s demands.…

    How do you determine if one action is right or wrong? According to one of the most influential and persuasive approaches to normal ethics in many philosophy, an action oriented moral theory known as utilitarianism holds that an action is right if it produces, or if it tends produce, the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people affected by the action. Utilitarian believes that the purpose of having morals is to be able to make life better by increasing happiness or pleasure and decrease the amount of unhappiness and pain in the world. Although we are often faced with many moral dilemmas in this world, specific cases such as Nestle and Advertising, Challenger, Children and Targeting, Emails and Privacy, One Nation Under Wal-Mart,…
