When the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted unanimously in December of 2010 to approve new mandatory crib standards to ensure safe sleeping for infants, the Indiana Association for Child Care Resource and Referral (IACCRR) knew that replacing the current cribs would be a challenge for Indiana child care providers. Hundreds of cribs in child care centers and child care homes in Indiana needed to be replaced to meet the new standards. At an average cost of $255 per crib, providers who couldn’t afford to purchase new cribs were faced with the possibility of no longer being able to provide infant care.
Knowing that Indiana couldn’t afford to lose slots for infants who needed child care, IACCRR decided to take action. Using CCDF

    Florida Statutes Case Study

    First of all, the Department of Children and Families can only do so much to fix the system as there are laws and restrictions for their actions. They, being a governmentally funded organization, must follow the rules and do not have much say on changing them. In Florida, these certain set of restrictions are called The Florida Statutes Chapter 39. These statutes are created and maintained by The Florida Senate annually, after a legislative lesson. According to the Florida Senate's web page, the Florida Statutes are "[a] permanent collection of state laws organized by area... updated annually by laws that create, amend, transfer, or repeal statutory material" (The Florida Senate).…

    Swaddling And Co-Sleeping Case Study

    The controversial topics of swaddling and co-sleeping peaked my interest because I had heard about both parenting methods when trying to get a newborn to sleep but never knew if the methods were safe or not. While gaining observation hours for my Pre-Occupational Therapy major, I observed an occupational therapist swaddle premature babies in the hospital. The occupational therapist said that the technique stimulated the idea that the infant was back inside his or her mother’s womb. As a result of seeing how occupational therapists use the swaddling method to help calm the infant, I was intrigued to find out more about the advantages and disadvantages of swaddling an infant. Additionally, I chose both topics to discover the controversial…

    Foster Care Independence Act Analysis

    In the time before the enactment of the Foster Care Independence Act of 1999, which addressed the issue of foster children who were aging out of foster care, there were laws that were passed to confront related problems in childcare. One of these laws was the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985. This was an addition of the section 477 of Title IV-E of the Social Security Act (Children’s Bureau, 1987). The act funded $70 million dollars every year to states. The amount each state received depended on the number of the population of children collecting foster care maintenance payments.…

    The Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act (AACWA) of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-272) was enacted after it was discovered that too many children were being placed in foster care too quickly and for too long during the 1970’s.

    Overcrowded homes and understaffed Child Protective Services (CPS) offices has threatened the foster care system in the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex for many years; recently, however, it has proven to be a problem that we can no longer turn a blind eye to. The Dallas News reports that in Dallas ISD alone, there are approximately 3,600 students without homes. They furthers that many children without homes “simply stop going to school and hide on the streets”. With a high demand and a low supply, foster homes in Dallas are severely overcrowded. This has elicited more and more children sleeping in the Child Protective Services offices.…

    Indian Child Welfare

    Political factors and the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 Politically, the 1970’s were a time of social welfare reform that allowed advocates the opportunity to push for tribal sovereignty and the overall wellbeing of Indian children. The success of this period as a highpoint in social welfare was largely due to the push for domestic legislation surrounding social welfare issues like the desegregation of schools, civil rights, voting rights, and War on Poverty (Blau, Abramovitz, 2014). This period was also characterized by a new political consciousness within the general public that was geared towards racial equality. Advocates of the Indian Child Welfare Act were able to capitalize on this era’s political consciousness and strive for racial…
