The Forced Marriage Minors Summary

Improved Essays
In the Article,”the forced marriage minors”, Koeplman talks about Forced Marriages amongst minors. Adults in fields such as Health care providers, social/ child protective services (DCF), etc help to protect and prevent children from the dangers of child abuse. One of the reasons that the author mentioned of being the abuse that a forced marriage of minors was, the stopping of such marriages when health care providers are witnesses of such events. Stepping up an saying something instead of allowing such things to go on with our knowledge is unprofessional and in-just way to an innocent child-victim, who has no say.
When recognizing and stepping up (though not many/enough at all around the world tend to do so) we are helping by rescuing these

    Justify responses to a particular incident or emergency in a health or social care setting. (D2) Scenario 1: a student you do 1:1 work with is very withdrawn. She looks like she hasn’t had a bath for days, has dark bags under her eyes and bruise marks on her wrists. When abuse is suspected it is important that the individual’s health and well-being is seen as the priority. This is why the local child protection officer should be notified so that they can investigate the situation to prevent the child from harming themselves or the abuser from harming them.…

    There has been much growth and change in the world of child advocacy since then. One aspect that has changed is new reporting laws on sexual abuse. This occurred nationwide and took place in the late 70’s. Myers (2011) states “By 1976, all states had reporting laws requiring professionals to report sexual abuse” (pg. 13).…

    “In the Unlikely Event of a Water Landing” Two young psychologists, John Darley and Bibb Latane, put together two well thought out experiments to rationalize the response time of individuals in groups. After reading about the brutal attack of Catherine Genovese in New York in 1964, which ultimately lead to her death, the two men were on a mission to figure out why nobody helped. Even with the witnesses being awakened by her screams, they chose to do nothing about it until it was too late. After Darley and Latane had the results from the experiments, they established five simple steps that would, hopefully, encourage others to help another when needed. Many people feel it isn’t their responsibility to help someone who is in dire need.…

    A Growing Concern: Child Maltreatment It is said by Naughton that, “for every child in the child protection program there are another eight ‘hidden’ children being maltreated,” (Preventing a child maltreatment epidemic, 2014). Child maltreatment is an ever growing problem across the globe. There are several variations of maltreatment, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and negligence. Physical abuse is broadly defined as any act that causes or has a potential to cause physical harm.…

    The Post-Cleveland period, in relation to the management and investigation of child sexual abuse allegations ,some key developments took place. ' Working Together' guidelines published in 1988 brought some vital changes about how the investigations should be carried out. The main features were that sexual abuse was considered as a separate registration category, the parents had to be invited to attend child protection conferences , joint interviews had to be carried out by the police and social workers, and medical examinations had to be the subject to the child's consent.(Corby,1998). Over the intervention strategies and methods used by professionals in child protection to investigate child sexual abuse ,the public disquiet is still strong.…

    Albert Einstein once stated, “The world is a dangerous place not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” According to the British medical journal “The Lancet”, there are huge numbers of child abuse and neglect cases that go unreported.

According to childhelp.org, “The United States has one of the worst records among industrialized nations – losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect.”…

    Discussions about the age of consent laws are not common but it is important to show the truth about how these laws affect a modern generation of underage teenagers. Most adults think of teenagers as unable to give their consent to have sex and although there are safety risks for unprepared teens, lowering the age of consent in California from eighteen years to sixteen would benefit the teenagers and the state in the long run. In order to lower the age of consent, it is crucial to first understand the laws, give teenagers proper sex education and take a look at how it affects everyone and how the potential changes could improve the lives of teenagers. On the other hand, changing the age of consent laws could mean trouble for the unprepared…

    Despite the advancement of human and women’s rights over the past few centuries, children, specifically girls under the age of eighteen, are still pressured into marriages. As of 2018, there is no federal law that bans marriage involving at least one child, as individual states set their own age requirements. Until recently, Kentucky has had no minimum age for marriage up until January 2, 2018, when Republican Senator Julie Raque Adams from Louisville, Kentucky, with the co-sponsorship of Republican Senators Ralph Alvarado and Will Schroder and Democratic Senators Denise Harper Angel and Morgan McGarvey, sponsored Senate Bill 48 (SB 48), also known as the “Child Bride Bill”, to raise the legal age of marriage in the state.

    What is the rediscovery of child abuse and why is it important? Children were only granted the same legal status as domesticated animals in regard to protection against neglect or cruelty in the 19th century. It took from 1962 through 1976 for “battered child syndrome” to be entered into the medical profession. Apparently, the confidentiality agreement about medical history between doctors, police, etc. was stopping the medical and criminal agencies from exposing the children who had been beat.…

    Flaherty (2006) also mentions that the reporting of child abuse is challenging to those physicians who do not have the adequate training to determine what may appear to be signs of child abuse. Reporting is not just a job for the mandated professionals: anyone in a position having suspected abuse is encouraged to report abuse. Pollack (2007) mentions that arguments favoring mandated reporting state that children cannot make decisions about their own well being and cannot remove themselves from a harmful situation and therefore need a professional to intervene by reporting. He also states that there are arguments against mandated reporting which state that obligating certain professionals to be mandated reporters can perhaps free society from its responsibility to report abuse. By law, mandated reporters are obligated to report any suspected child and elder abuse or neglect.…

    The social services provided to women and young girls are not at the best capability it could be at if those females are making the choice to leave their families because they are being mistreated and abused by their own blood.

For example, a young girl of the age of 12 was lured away by a stranger and had no trouble leaving because how badly her family already mistreated her.

    There are better ways to help someone who has become involved in “drugs, burglaries, and gangs,” and forced marriage is not the answer (Elger). When a man or woman resists a forced marriage, it does not mean standing ground and then hoping the topic of forced marriage is forever forgotten about. Sometimes the victim is mistreated with beatings or threats, but other “forms of social pressure may also be exerted, such as restrictions on lifestyle, oppressive financial control, food restriction and pressure to drop out of school” (Baker,…
