Child abandonment is a complex and difficult issue. In many cases, child abandonment falls under the heading of child abuse, while in other cases, states have created solutions for parents who no longer feel they can care for their own children. Each state has its own laws concerning child abandonment, the rights of a parent to give up their newborn, and the termination of parental rights. Child Abandonment Laws Different states have different laws regarding child abandonment. In some states, the action is not considered a crime, while in others, it is punished severely. For example, North Carolina state law says that any person who abandons his or her child for at least six months will[..]

There are times when I just can't forget a song, especially a song with a real message. This song will move anyone to tears--I guarantee it. It was around the Christmas holidays in 1989, that I recorded this song off the radio. This was before I discovered CDs. I did a lot of recording off the radio back then. The song I am referring to is entitled, Dear Mr. Jesus. It was written by Richard Klender and sung by a nine year old girl, back then, named Sharon Batts. Before I display the lyrics of this poignant song of immense emotion, I will give you the facts about the song. It is a true story about child abuse. In New York City, on May 14, 1981, a baby girl was born by the name of[..]

When my emotions feel like are going to spill out of your mouth at any moment, I find myself double checking everything I say or do before I say or do it. Wherever I am and whatever I am doing I often feel an overwhelming desire to just explode from the mouth or from the pen, and fight against the injustice I see going on around me. It is blatant and disgusting, and yet like many others there are times when even I am afraid to speak the truth openly in fear of consequences beyond my control. How so many people living in Jersey who have suffered the most horrendous abuse as children in the island at the hands of many establishment are homes like 'Haut de la Garenne' have the guts and true[..]

Almost 4 million grandparents are raising their grandchildren. Grandparents are caring for approximately five and a half million children across the nation. Actually, 10% of all grandparents have been their grandchildren's primary caregivers at one time or another. Of course, to some extent, there have always been custodial grandparents. However, this situation is on the rise, and there seems to be no tendency toward a decrease in the future. The 1994 Census indicates that the number of grandparents raising grandchildren increased by thirty-six-percent in a one year time span. Since 1992, according to a Census Public Information, report (CBOO-FF) dated September 2000, the number of[..]

One of the greatest responsibilities of our society has to be the protection of our children. Unfortunately, as a social worker, I see this as being one area where we fail. Our children are nor financially productive so child protection measures - whether they be child protection laws, resources to protect children or funding to help children in need of protection - are sadly lacking. The result is that we have a large segment of our youth who are children at risk. These children grow up with unnecessary abuse and neglect. Although there are several areas where children experience child abuse and neglect, this article will focus on only one. Because parents are so busy and a family needs[..]

Burns are responsible for about 3,000-5,000 deaths per year in the United States (Merck, 2005; Oxbridge, 2008). In addition, 1 million emergency room visits are due to burn injury in the U.S. (Merck, 2005). Burn injury is linked to several recurring behaviors (risk factors). These include careless behavior (smoking in bed), accidents (motor vehicle accidents), seizures, syncope, alcohol use, and psychiatric conditions. The more of these risk factors are present, the more likely an incident will occur. Most burns happen in the home, especially in the kitchen and bathroom where scalds are most common in the very young or old. Also kitchens and storage rooms are often the source for[..]

Heaven and Hell are man-made postulates, mind subverting gimmicks. These postulates strain humanities faculty of reason; with unreasonably meaningless arbitrary, mind-spun speculations. On what grounds does one believe in folklore... Heaven and Hell stories; other than on grounds of mysticism, which is founded in faith and built up from a catalyst of religious scriptural edicts and edifices. What better deceitful trickery has the church ever invented, than the concepts of Heaven and Hell. They are perfect weapons in the hands of the priests of the church, when used in combination with the equally nefarious tool - the concept of guilt. When Heaven and Hell are combined with guilt and sin[..]

First of all, I'm not a health professional. This is simply practical advice from someone who has spent many years studying, going to therapy and learning what worked for me. Everyone is different. You may want to do things totally differently. I just want you to realize that severe trauma is painful but it is something that you have survived. Now it is time to look forward and grow. Here are some tips I have used to grow in over thirty years from a shy, scared and hurt girl to a strong, and successful adult. I didn't do everything by the books. I did it my way but learned from experts along the way. Whether your pain is from war, childhood abuse, witnessing trauma or whatever, it is[..]

Many people work with me to overcome the after effects of traumas like rape, auto accidents, childhood abuse, war experiences, etc. These terrifying, often life threatening events leave them with what is called Post Traumatic Stress. They can't stop reliving what happened, often have nightmares, and develop other fears. I also see people who suffer from another kind of trauma, and they don't even know it. They usually come in to seek treatment for something else and discover that unhealed emotional wounds from a past disturbance are contributing to their current problem. These traumas result from commonplace experiences that also happen to others who seem untouched by them. The kind of[..]

There is a universal saying, "The only thing constant is change." "We have nothing to fear but fear itself," declared Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his First Inaugural Address. President Roosevelt's wise words intended to evoke courage during a time of impending war. However, examining his statement more closely, what does it actually mean? Are our fears learned, imaginary or real? What makes a grown man or woman afraid to fly? Fear of heights, fear of being alone, fear of the dark, fear of snakes, fear of moving to a new city, fear of failure, fear of success and fear of going to a dentist or doctor are common. When I was young, my mother claimed I would drown if I did not wait one hour[..]

In my last article about Michael Jackson, I focused on the positive qualities and characteristics of the many Master numbers found in his name: I had intended the piece as a tribute to him and to his talent. However, in the interest of accuracy, I will now investigate the other side of this enigmatic figure by looking at the potent negatives that are naturally attached to his Master numbers - all of Michael's name energies are Master numbers, which is extremely rare, yet somehow fitting when one contemplates his spectacular career, some say bizarre lifestyle, mysterious personality, the odious accusations made against him, his difficulty in maintaining 'normal' relationships and his[..]

Borderline Personality Disorder is a serious and misunderstood condition. Despite the fact that much has been written about it, it remains a mystery to many who encounter it. I see BPD as a condition which results from significant childhood trauma. Although not everyone who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder suffers from BPD, in my experience virtually everyone I've encountered with BPD also suffers from PTSD. The traumas these individuals experienced in early life have caused them to have debilitating symptoms. BPD sufferers are terrified of abandonment, but also expect to be treated in the same way they were while growing up. As a result, they frequently provoke people to[..]

It's a modern-day tragedy. A young man is born with incredible talent and promise, and then achieves unimaginable success early in his life. A glorious future is predicted, but instead his life is a series of ever more strange behaviors and events, culminating in his untimely death. Michael Jackson is called "The Prince of Pop," but he ought to be known as the tragic hero of our times. Who was he, really? Michael Jackson has been, paradoxically, both the most public and the most private figure of the last half-century; a man whom everyone in the world knows about but few, if any, truly know. He guarded his privacy ferociously; sometimes going to extreme and even bizarre lengths to hide[..]

As a clinical hypnotherapist, I occasionally receive requests from my clients to help them remember something they've forgotten, or to help them forget something they no longer wish to remember. It's not always possible or advisable to fulfill these requests. The idea of using hypnotherapy to manipulate memory is more complex than most people realize. The general public seems to have much confusion on the subject. I'd like to clear that confusion with this article. Remembering First, let's talk about whether hypnosis can facilitate memory. People want to remember things they have forgotten for a number of often legitimate reasons. Here are some reasons I've heard:oPeople want to[..]

Have you been abused? Have you experienced a lot of trauma in your life? Do you suffer from depression as the result of these experiences? Do you wonder if you can really heal? Yes, Yes absolutely. Healing will not be the "quick fix". It is the hard work miracle that only you can give yourself. In a recent article, I wrote about brain fog as a defense or protection from all the trauma. I believe that it also keeps us from healing. It keeps us in a state of disassociation from ourselves and from reality. The point of this article is to give you hope. It is very possible to get well. The first thing you need to know (not believe, but to know) that it is possible. Then you do the work. You[..]

It is very good to determine well before courtship and marriage how you want your marriage to be. Your early preparation has a way of making you know the qualities you want in your spouse. The closer a spouse is to your ideal, the less the adjustment you would make after marriage and the lesser the chances of friction in the relationship. If a man wants his home to be the cradle of comfort which God designed it to be rather than a hot bed of violence which it has become in many marriages, there are certain attitudes he must adopt and others he must drop to make his relationship with his wife wonderful. The following are the strategies: 1. Be faithful to your marital vow in which you[..]

In California, the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (EADACPA) is one on the most powerful tools available for combating elder abuse, both financial and physical. An "elder" is defined as a person 65 years of age or older. A "dependent adult" is generally a person between 18 and 64 years of age who is unable to carry out activities of daily living due to mental impairments. A little history: EADACPA was enacted, in large part, to encourage lawyers to represent elderly and frail clients who may not survive long enough for their case to be heard by the court. One of the remedies available to elderly and dependent adult victims of financial or physical abuse was the right[..]

Our society is filled with verbal and emotional abuse, from radio and TV commentators and presidential candidates, to parents, educators, employers and managers. As Patricia Evans states in "The Verbally Abusive Relationship", the old adage, "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me," is not at all true. Just as physical abuse is wounding the to body, verbal abuse is deeply wounding to the soul. If you grew up in a verbally and/or emotionally abusive family, you might not realize when you are being abusive and when you are being abused. Behind verbal and emotional abuse is always about a desire to control the other person - to have power over the other's feelings[..]

Abusive people who have not yet turned to physical violence are time bombs with fuses of unknown length. If your abusive spouse feels that his "usual" verbally abusive techniques are not working, he probably will shift into physical abuse to maintain control over you. Abuse always escalates over time. Time wasted in abusive situations and marriages cause you to feel overpowered and horror-struck - but it is never too late to receive help. What Could Happen If You Wait For Things to Change? Constantly remember that your abuser profits from abusing you. He lives the life he wants to live while you do everything in your power to "make him satisfied" while sacrificing yourself. Here are some[..]

More than often, spouses try to impose their will over one another by resorting to negative criticism, threats and insults. Yet, all this is done in the name of co-operation and love. It is a fact that emotional abuse is a common denominator in many marriages. However, the irony is that most of the times both the abuser and the victim are unaware of the fact that their marriage is marred by emotional abuse. This is because emotional abuse often means one thing to the victim and another to the abuser. Both the abuser and the victim play an important role in this vicious cycle. On the one hand, the abuser is both a coward and a bully at the same time. He/she exposes his/her partner to such[..]

Is your spouse violent, abusive, harassing? In cases of harassment or violence there are legal remedies and there are practical things you can and must do for yourself. This is not about reaching agreement--these are strategies for self-defense. Mental and physical abuse must never be tolerated. Restraining orders. The legal remedy for domestic harassment and violence is a restraining order--an order from the court, served personally on your spouse, forbidding certain conduct. Restraining orders are available as part of a divorce action. If you, your children or anyone in your household has been physically abused or threatened with harm, you can have the abuser ordered to move out and[..]

There are many things in life we would prefer not to think of. The common occurrences of spousal abuse definitely fall into the category of things we would prefer not to think about because of the brutal nature associated with it. However, it is important to understand the common signs of an abusive spouse because doing so may allow you to take the proper steps to deal with such a dangerous individual. To help facilitate this, here is a brief overview of some common signs of an abusive husband. An abusive spouse is extremely domineering. In many ways, an abusive spouse will treat his loved ones as if they are his property. As a result, spouses and children will not be allowed to make[..]

What exactly comes into your mind when you hear the word abuse? When most people think about it, physical abuse is the only thing that comes up. Everyone seems to forget about emotional abuse. Abuse usually means visual damage like nasty bruises or broken bones, not the deep and permanent emotional scars left on the victim that nobody can see. Emotional abuse, whether it is mental or verbal, can completely ruin a woman's self esteem. Pretty soon the vibrant, happy person she used to be will no longer exist, and she will become someone else. The right thing for a woman to do in this kind of situation is leave or get a divorce, but that is easier said than done for most. Years of constant[..]

In years gone past when life was less complicated than it is today, children were willingly looked after by their parents or other relatives, or friends of the family, particularly until they begin attending school. In our 21st century world, both parents may work outside the home, families are scattered across the United States, and no friends are in a position to fill in the gap. Today, this task is being accomplished by professional child care providers. Along with filling a definite and essential need for families, day care has also become an industry. Like any other business, their employees must be properly trained, they must meet certain legal standards, and their license can be[..]

The growth in the number of children that live in single parent homes has instigated the need for policies and programs to improve the status of single-parent families. Single parents confront tensions that arise from their dual responsibility of raising their children while simultaneously earning a living. The correlation between single parenting and poverty is clear. Furthermore, single parents are more likely to face social isolation due to stigmatization. Many single parents also experience feelings of stress, frustration, incompetence, hopelessness and helplessness The poverty level of children living in single parent homes is significantly greater than that of children living in[..]
