On 08/28/15 Steven came to school covered in live bed bugs and bed bug bites; this is the second time this has occurred. Steven told the reporter his grandmother treated the bed bugs on Monday but there is still an infestation and he wakes up at night with bugs on him.

Kevin also told the reporter his grandmother yelled and screamed at him the last time the school called her about the bed bugs.
Also, she had cerebral damage. The doctor that diagnosed her with mental retardation recommended treatment and further testing but was ignored by the state. Another factor is that she was hit by a truck/car when she was younger in which it affected her head.

Something that can be looked at is that she says she was there physically but mentally she wasn’t there.
Danielle Jackson Carlton - 5 English 11 1 March 2018 The Broken System we call Foster Care Yes foster care is an essential system used to provide loving homes to children, but unfortunately these systems have become broken and can no longer keep kids safe under their care. Everyday children are being placed in foster homes facing abuse, unloving parents, and even death.

Christa Moore was spending the day at a playground, watching her two daughters having fun on the swings. She began getting a strange feeling when she noticed a man “eyeballing” her children. Moore quickly realized her gut instinct about the man was right. Before she knew it, the stranger had managed to walk up behind her two-year-old, rip her off of the swing and tear the little girls pants and diaper off of her.

For instance, in young children and foster care, there is a case where the police raid on a crack house which the adults fled and abandoned two children.

After the pediatrician had read their medical records, they learn that both of the children have been exposing to cocaine, hepatitis B exposure, and congenital syphilis which was treated in the newborn nursery. Many teens in the system abuse substances to cope with their trauma especially alcohol and cannabis.

In the text ‘ Savage or Solitary? : The Wild Child and Rousseau’s Man of Nature’ by Nancy Yousef she explores how feral children function after being in the wild to fend for themselves. These children are seen as wild animals and when they are contained, they are constantly being studied to see if they are capable of obtaining what is seen as ‘normal’ societal behavior that one would possess. In the text, it looks at how a boy named Victor was found in the wild and when he was finally contained, anthropologists believed this was fascinating because they wanted to see if it was possible to develop what is seen as normal human behavior and since he had not learned this previously, they believed he was a blank slate.
Causes of child neglect vary, and we have to remember that just because a family is poor doesn’t mean that they are neglectful, so basically before a professional can say that a child is being neglected caution must be exercised, and they must watch for the
