The Pros And Cons Of DCPP

Decent Essays
Brianna,
Sadly, it is true that there is a negative connotation attached to DCPP. Way too many people believe that the goal of DCPP is to snatch children away from families. While it was still named DYFS people would say that just calling DYFS on parents would get a child removed from their home. I admire your decision to pursue a career with the DCPP, especially since people ignore the positive impact that the DCPP has. People definitely need to get educated on DCPP, and I hope you can continue to open the eyes of people who do not know the true goals of the DCPP! I can tell that one day you are going to be an amazing addition to the DCPP.

    The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act: 40 Years of Safeguarding America’s Children (2014) states that the goal may be the most ambitious ever undertaken: a comprehensive child welfare system that supports children, families, and communities in ways that will prevent the occurrence- or recurrence- of maltreatment in the future. This act seeks to fulfill this goal through collaborating with others across the world that are involved in and have an interest in child abuse prevention and the welfare of children. According to Child Welfare: An Overview of Federal Programs and Their Current Funding (Stolzfus, 2015), another objective is to provide a primary social service response to abuse or neglect of children by their parents or other caregivers. This policy allows each state and territory the opportunity to receive funds in order to improve the operation of their child protective services (CPA). However, in order to attain these funds each state has to have an effective system in place to show how it operates and that confidentiality is maintained and that the process runs smooth and that any child in question of being mistreated will be protected throughout the process while not experiencing any added…

    The government also implemented a nationwide system of government sponsored child protection (Myers, 2011, pg.12). This was a great advantage for child advocacy. Billions of dollars are devoted to child welfare for the benefit of children in need. We also saw CPS become available across the country, including the most rural parts of the country. The growth continued and in 1997 congress passed the Adoption and Safe Families Act, which made child safety the top priority above family preservation (Myers, 2011, pg. 12).…

    Error 1 Perhaps the most noticeable micro-level practice error displayed in the Gabriel Myers case can be seen in the case worker’s careless effort to provide informed consent for Gabriel’s medical treatment. According to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics, “In instances when clients lack the capacity to provide informed consent, social workers should protect their clients’ interests by seeking permission from an appropriate third party, informing clients consistent with the clients’ level of understanding. In such instances, the third party acts in a manner consistent with clients’ wishes and interest” (Socialworkers.org, 2008). To address certain behavioral issues related to traumatic experiences, case workers…

    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. In 1996, an average of 2 children died each week in New York as a result of child abuse. 1/3rd of those cases were because of CWA’s neglect to the case (Stoesz, David, and Howard Jacob Karger). These numbers are very troubling coming from people who are supposed to be child abuse experts. There was a case that opened in New York the CPS, about a young child named Elisa Izquierdo.…

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) role is to ensure that the food the humans are consuming are safe to do so. The FDA only requires manufacturers to label their products containing Genetically Modified (GM) ingredients if only alters the main compound of the ingredient. Producers have the voluntary option of labeling their products that contain or don't contain GM ingredients.

The question in most Americans, should they have the rights to know if their products contain any GM ingredients?…

    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. The AACWA was to promote keeping the families together and placing the children in permanent placement rather than placing them in foster care. Title IV-E was created as part of the AACWA and provides federal funding for educating and training the child welfare workforce in belief that well trained child welfare workers will bring about better quality service to children.…

    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.…

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy: Original Design Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was first developed by Marsha Linehan for the treatment of individuals suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and suicidal or self-injurious behavior (Swales, 2009). In her work with these individuals, Marsha noticed that many of them were not engaged in or collaborating with a therapeutic process based on change. She hypothesized that many of these individuals did not believe they had the ability to change, so a therapeutic method based on change was not going to work.…

    Moye and Rinker claim, ‘there is a limited number of publicly funded housing, mental health, utility assistance, and child care programs to address the needs of families’ (2002, p.388). ASFA fails to acknowledge that every family’s situation is different and the programs reflect the assumption that all parents of children who get sent to foster care are dangerous. Barth, Wulczyn, and Crea (2005) include in their study how substance abuse is one of the main reasons a child ends up in foster care. Moye and Rinker add to this statement by claiming recovery time for substance abuse is not a speedy one and that ASFA’s provided timeframe is not enough time (2002, p.388) The set up of the time frames and parental rights of ASFA offered only two outcomes for the child: family reunification or adoption.…

    The First-Past-The-Post system (FPTP) is currently used to elect representatives to the House of Commons. It is true that FPTP is an efficient and simple way of voting that has been trusted for years. Nevertheless, FPTP discriminates against minority parties and leads to non-accurate election results. The large amount of wasted votes is also a major criticism associated with the FPTP system. Recently, the Alternative Vote System is recognized as a way to increase fairness and improve election results.…
