What could they do to help? Will their child suffer? Does their child need specific treatment for their cancer/serious illness? These are the questions that might be swirling around a parent’s mind, when they first enter into the building. It’s no parent wants to see their child be severely sick or die before them. It’s just isn’t how life is supposed to be. The version that the parents had in their brain is when our children are off to college. We can retire and go traveling around the US, Europe or Asia. There are so many opportunities, then one day while your child was at school. The nurse called the dad’s cell phone to tell him to come pick up his daughter. Then take her to the nearest ER, while waiting for the test results the father is just walking all over the place. Then the doctor comes out to tell you that their precious baby boy has a type of rare cancer that can’t be treated at their hospital. The ER you went handed the parents information about CHOP. When they go the diagnosis for their baby boy they called CHOP to ask if they could admit their son into their hospital.

    We may know that it could of been for the best, yet that can play a role in a child when they are maturing. This can hurt kids with whom to trust, for the one person you are suppose to be able to depend on as a child was taken away from him. This can hurt the relationships they have with others for they are scared so they act out. Maybe even they are scared to get “attached” to the other caregiver, for the child may think that they will just be taken away also.

    Bridshett, The agency you chose to evaluate has a lot of similarities with the agency I am evaluating. I am evaluating ForKids and like Intercept Youth Services they work with kids and their families. They focus more on homeless families, but the programs they offer are very similar. Although your agency does offer other services that I think are great, like the services they have for young mothers. I think it will be a good learning experience for you evaluating an agency that works with different populations.

  • Rethink Child Support Debt

    731 Words  | 3 Pages

    The tone is clear cut and to the point. Basically the writer is showing that in this life period, a “deadbeat dad” and a single parent are normal. It sort of depressing to think about, how children have to grow up without a mom or without a dad, how the parents have to work so hard for money just to try to support their children. Since the writer is lacking feeling towards the parents, maybe one can conclude they are the ones to blame. Even though the author’s tone is dull and harsh, one can not speak lenient when the issue is a child’s life.

  • Changing Foster Care System

    607 Words  | 3 Pages

    I believe that foster care system should be changed for the better of the child only because i know that most kids started off with a bad life and to top it off they have to be in a foster home and most disagreeable kids can just go to a juvenile detention center if not adopted. But really not a lot of things should change like when they do background checks it is most likely very necessary because you don 't want to put a miserable kid with it 's like fighting fire with fire it 's not good for either of them. But somewhat the system should also be changed because if you take in a misbehaving kid and just put them in juvenile detention center it won 't help them be off and to a better start it very confidence breaking the kids deserve

These are programs that relate to social and economic justice. The programs are in place for the community to use freely.

To help reach out to and accommodate to families with lower income, the center charges a small fee for the adult to attend.
