What is domestic abuse?There are many forms of domestic abuse, ranging from screaming threats to pushing and shoving. Contrary to what many women think, abuse isn't just physical battering.Domestic abuse may include emotional abuse, economic abuse, sexual abuse, using children, threats, using male privilege, intimidation, isolation and a variety of other behaviors used to maintain fear, intimidation and power. In all cultures, the perpetrators are most commonly the men of the family. Nearly one in three adult women experiences at least one physical assault by a partner during adulthood, according to the American Psychological Association in a 1996 report.Domestic abuse does not discriminate against...

Children from abusive homes can indeed go on to bully--bullying is a sign of abuse--but not all abused children become bullies and not all bullies come from abusive homes. There are other factors that can determine whether or not a child will go on to bully:- the child's temperament - lack of supervision (NOTE: bullies require constant supervision) - the social climate at schoolOn average, children and youth spend about 6 hours a day in school. It is the only place that children are brought together in large numbers for extended periods of time on a regular basis. Within the society of school, children and youth try to fit in, often by joining in peer group circles and cliques. This society within...

PART 1: Warning - This article may be inappropriate for younger readers. Please seek the permission of a parent or guardian before reading further.Lately, I'm hearing a lot about suicide or suicide attempts. It's becoming increasingly clear to me, however, that what I'm hearing about even more often is childhood sexual abuse.It's everywhere.Some might say this epidemic of childhood sexual abuse is another "sign of the Apocalypse." After all, the Scriptures declare: "...in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers...

Who Was Jean Piaget?Jean Piaget was to cognitive development as Albert Einstein was to physics. In fact Einstein was afan of Piaget's work. Jean Piaget was born in Switzerland on Aug. 9, 1896. He published his first scientific paper at the age of 10. By the age of 22 he already had a doctorate in zoology. He became interested in psychoanalysis after WWII and attended lectures given by Carl Jung. He then studied in Paris working in Alfred Binet's child psychology lab. It was there that he first began to notice that children of the same ages answered true/false questions similarly.He returned to Switzerland and spent many years studying and conversing with children. He realized through his...

Isn't that obscene?I heard Kris commenting on seeing an obscene image on the web page to Philip.Why should anybody be allowed to use such images in online? Someone should do something about people like these who made this horrible, obscene web page that uses pictures like that where anyone could see them. What will become of my teenage son when he comes across such a page? Why don't we censor this kind of thing?I was surprised to hear Philip's reply:Well, no, what you say? It's art. I see worse than that on TV channels! Why would anybody be upset about that?We're all adults here, right? And if we aren't, if there is some young innocent thirteen-year-old soul, why are their parents not supervising...

D. Corwin (1990) cites that in London many believed that sexual 'congress' with a child would cure venereal disease. Of capital rape prosecutions between 1730 and 1729, 25% of the cases involved victims younger than 10 years old.62% of females are sexually abused by age 18. Finkelhor, David and J. Dziuba-Leatherman. "Victimization of Children." American Psychologist Vol. 49:3 (1992): 173-183. 1896 in The Aetiology of Hysteria, Freud discusses his "Seduction Theory" acknowledging the sexual abuse and incest of children.31% of males are sexually abused by age 18. Ibid.More than 60 million adult survivors of incest and sexual child abuse live in America. *Note these are only reported cases. It is...

Not an easy subject right? Before we begin, the important thing to remember is that you don't want to terrify your kids about the world we live in, or make them feel nervous on a daily basis. In particular with younger ones, we all know children are prone to nightmares when their imaginations are active about any kind of predator.This is important for you as a parent also. We ARE very fortunate in Australia that the rate of non-parental child abductions is low in comparison to other countries. In our eyes though a 'low' rate is still too many, and our aim is that NO children or their families will ever have to go through the unthinkable. Other well reported statistics on the rates of child sexual...

Attorneys and lawyers practicing family law take up cases relating to all kinds of family related issues. These can be adoption, prenuptial agreements, marriage, domestic violence, divorce, separation, legal separation, annulment, division of the property accumulated during the marriage, alimony, negotiation, adjudication, child custody and support, child abduction, kidnapping or child seizure, emancipation, abuse in the marriage, parental rights, paternity, juvenile, felonies etc., and many such cases related to family. Other than this they also deal with regular cases relating to criminal laws, property related laws, probation law, trusts etc. However, majority of the cases that come to family...

Many families do not want to believe their child is being sexually abused even if the signs of child sexual abuse are staring them straight in the face. Unfortunately many families are in a similar situation where both parents are working full time and someone other than the biological parents are caring for their children. Under these circumstances the potential for child sexual abuse is more prevalent. Obviously under these circumstances it is tremendously important for parents to watch for the signs of child sexual abuse. Some common signs of child sexual abuse are: * Sexually advanced for his or her age * Increase in masturbation, preoccupation with sex or promiscuous behavior * Frequent...

"Uppie! Uppie!" These words ring through the house as the four wheels turn furiously along the tiled floor. Suddenly, a toddler, nestled in a baby walker, appears around the corner. He shouts out a few high-pitched yelps, and then goes into a loop of shouting "Uppie! Uppie!" and yelping again. Wacky lights and sounds on the walker go off as the baby presses colorful buttons on its "control panel." And the tap tap of his feet continue as he continues sprinting awkwardly along the kitchen floor. Then, the baby's destination becomes clear: the stairway at the far left corner of the kitchen! A safety gate usually blocks the baby's access to the stairs, but someone in the house forgot to close it. The...

The internet has its positives and negatives. Some of its positive are the information it can provide people with, it is good for socializing with people, and if can be used to make money. One of many negative of the internet is that it can be used for the purpose of child enticement. Many parents may not have understood how big the problem was until dateline began to run child predator shows a few years back.In these child predator show men are lured to a home with the impression that they are meeting a young boy or girl. Once they arrive they are surprised to see a journalist and cameras. The thing that dateline has done by doing this is alert parents of the dangers that are online so that they...

There are many different types of lawn grass for different types of growing zones. Whether you're starting to buid your lawn or reseeding the lawn, choose the grass best suited to your climate. Warm season grasses, such as Bahia grass, can handle droughts much better than cold season grasses. Bahia grass has got a tough, coarse texture and flat grass blades. It does adapt easily to a wide range of soil conditions, but it is certainly a warm season grass. This grass spreads slowly by short rhizomes, but once it takes hold it will grow thick and requires only little care. It pushes out the weeds without creating any thatch. And it does need frequent mowing. Bahia grass is very prone to mole...

The last thing an abused woman needs to hear while seeking safety from domestic violence is that she's crazy. Unfortunately, however, this may be one of first things she learns from the evaluating mental health professional. The Battered Women's Movement and Clinical Psychology are as far apart as the North and South Pole. Yet, many people outside of these circles/disciplines believe domestic abuse treatment and advocacy are sub-specialties of the practice of psychology. Not at all so! After I fled from the danger I lived in Chicago, I retreated into a life of solace and wrote All But My Soul: Abuse Beyond Control. Creating that publication was the most amazing experience of my life-right up there...

Often we misuse the words 'pedophile' and 'child molester'. We tend to use 'pedophile' to all offenders who sexually abuse children. But these two words are different in meaning. A pedophile refers to a man or woman who has recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, urges, or behaviors involving pubescent or prepubescent children. The offense must occur over a period of at least six months for a person to be called a pedophile. Pedophile is one case of a paraphilia, a psychosexual disorder. Paraphilia is not a type of child sexual abuse crime. This disorder causes a person to fantasize children sexually. But fantasizing, although alarming, is not illegal. If the person act out his fantasies or...

Families do not communicate primarily by language. That might surprise you, until you consider that humans bonded in families for millennia before we even had language. Even today, the most sensitive communications that have the most far-reaching consequences to our lives occur between parents and infants through tone of voice, facial expressions, touch, smell, and body posture, not language. Though less obvious than interactions with young children, most of your communications with your older children and with your husband also occur through an unconscious process of emotional attunement. You psychologically and even physically tune in your emotions to the people you love. That's how you can come...

Will science find a cure for CP? The answer is complex. Since CP is actually a set of symptoms associated with a variety of causes, potential treatments will have to be manifold. Recent scientific findings have brought a ray of hope to an otherwise dreary outlook. Many scientists are now focusing on recent discoveries that suggest we will be able to replace lost or damaged brain cells. While such therapies are not yet available, it is likely that real clinical trials will begin in the next 5 to 10 years. It cannot be overemphasized that the most important person in the lives of children with CP is their caregiver. The caregiver, whether a parent or other person, must be able to recognize a child's...

We are all members of a few families in our lifetime: the one that we are born to and the one(s) that we create. We all transfer hurts, attitudes, fears, hopes and desires - a whole emotional baggage - from the former to the latter. The narcissist is no exception. The narcissist has a dichotomous view of humanity: humans are either Sources of Narcissistic Supply (and, then, idealised and over-valued) or do not fulfil this function (and, therefore, are valueless, devalued). The narcissist gets all the love that he needs from himself. From the outside he needs approval, affirmation, admiration, adoration, attention - in other words, externalised Ego boundary functions. He does not require - nor does...

The Nurse Practice Act is a set of state laws that govern specific aspects of the nursing profession. The statutes are generally grouped with a chapter of state laws, referred to in its entirety as the Nurse Practice Act "the Act". The Act aims to protect the public from an unsafe nurse by ensuring minimum levels of performance. Individual state legislatures' determine the Acts content, so "the Act" may differ a bit from state-to-state. Nonetheless, many acts address common issues such as establishing the composition and scope of authority for the board of nursing; defining the practice of professional, practical or vocational nursing and advanced practice nursing; setting the requirements to obtain...

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of two kinds of acquired brain injury, with the other type manifesting itself in acquired brain injuries, such as brain damage caused by a stroke, meningitis or any form of anoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain). A traumatic brain injury can be any injury where a sudden trauma causes brain damage. An important part of understanding TBI is to understand its causes and how it can affect those most at risk, as traumatic brain injuries affect a wide variety of Americans every year, causing a multitude of symptoms that can vary from mild to extreme. There are varying statistics between some research studies, but there is a generally accepted view that at least 1.4...

Criminal law is one of the most common types of law practiced in the United States. People make mistakes, and when these mistakes involve the law, it is absolutely critical that if you find yourself on the wrong side of the law that you have the best lawyer at your side to help you protect your rights and freedom. Some of the most common infractions that people find themselves involved with are child abuse laws, fraud, and hate crimes. Child abuse laws are in place to help protect innocent people, but more and more often these days these laws are used to take advantage of innocent people. Unscrupulous people use the stigma attached with child abuse accusations to force innocent people into...

What is child custody? Child custody and guardianship refers to the practical and legal relationship between a parent and his child, which includes caring and making decisions for the child. The concept of the terms 'custody' 'access' or 'visitation' have now been replaced by 'residence' and 'contact'. Instead of the courts stating that a parent has 'custody' of a child, the child is now being said to 'reside' with that parent. Child custody is an issue that typically rises from incidents such as divorces, annulments and legal actions that involve children. Common statutory provisions state that the child born within a marriage will get the joint guardianship of the parents and the right of...

At the risk of starting the argument of all time, I feel compelled to point out that Americans today are simply not made of the same stern stuff as our ancestors. You disagree? Please write and tell me honestly what you think your nearest neighbor would do if awakened at midnight by the warning, "The redcoats are coming!" Frankly, my next door neighbor is an active duty Marine, but tucking tail is the first thing that comes to mind. I certainly cannot imagine him handing a rifle to his wife or daughter and telling them to "lock and load." Not in this lifetime, at any rate. He'd be too worried about his retirement. Our ancestors had one or two advantages over us. In the first place, most of those who...

Over the past decade, as I have worked with cops, firfighters, abuse victims and children of addicts, I have learned that there are many causes for PTSD. It has also affirmed my belief that PTSD is real and harmful, not only to those who have it, but also to those around them. It impacts the way we act, react, our motivation and our capacity to feel--well, anything. Terrifying experiences that shatter people's sense of predictability and invulnerability can profoundly alter their coping skills, relationships and the way they perceive and interact with the world. The criteria for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are 1) exposure to a traumatic event(s) in which the person witnessed or experienced...

E-gold is known as private currency as it is not issued by governments. E-gold is integrated into an account based payment system that empowers people to use gold as money. E-gold was created in response to this need. E-gold transactions - a "spend" - are completed electronically, usually using the web interface, and they always settle by weight of the metal even if denominated in some other way. E-gold is a form of commodity money, so it is subject to the price fluctuations of that commodity. E-gold does not sell its e-metal directly to users. E-gold, unlike e-Bullion for instance, does not sell digital currency directly to the user. E-gold charges an account fee (or Agio Fee) of 1% per annum...
