Many of these families may not know be aware of their rights or know where to go for help. There should be reform around these types of scenarios, so families can feel safe accessing
“It’s a very difficult position to be in.” "Elder abuse is a terrible but preventable problem," ODJFS Director Cynthia C. Dungey said in a news release. "It affects all socioeconomic classes, races and genders. The more we spread the word about how to recognize and report it, the easier it will be to stop it from occurring and to make sure our older friends and family members get the help they need and the care they deserve." ODJFS supervises the state 's Adult Protective Services program, which helps vulnerable adults age 60 and older who are in danger of harm, are unable to protect themselves and may have no one to assist

• Caregivers may be hearing information that is very contrary to their own personal standards. • Caregivers may be unclear of their responsibility to report or what constitutes abuse or neglect. • Caregivers may be fearful that they will be brought into a legal matter where their reputation and character may be questioned. • Caregivers may not want to become involved. • Caregivers may be fearful of retaliation from the caregiver/alleged abuser or their agency.
In directional selection, one extreme trait is favored over the mean trait or other extreme trait; and this occurs in environments that have undergone changes over time. Changes in terms of climate, weather and food availability are the driving forces for this type of natural selection. If shown on a graph, the population bell curve shifts either farther left or farther right, indicating that one trait, is favored over another for a species. An example of this type of natural selection is the beak length of the Galapagos finches, which changed through time due to changes in food availability. Those with larger and deeper beaks survived the scarcity of insects since they were able to crack seeds.
Amid the rocking success of Straight Outta Compton, decades old accusations of misogynistic abuse against the co-producer of the movie Dr. Dre aka Andre Young resurfaced again, for which Young has issued a formal apology. "Twenty-five years ago I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life. However, none of this is an excuse for what I did. I 've been married for 19 years and every day I 'm working to be a better man for my family, seeking guidance along the way. I 'm doing everything I can so I never resemble that man again," the former rapper told The New York Times.
I had one assault charge whenever I was really young, I got detained for a few days then went on my merry way home. About 7 years later, there's another assault charge put against me - whenever someone had spit on me (Hey! That's an assault on a minor!) , I had grabbed their throat and put it against a wall - then let go after realizing I just flipped shit. I already knew what was about to happen, I had dealt with police before but never had any charges.
The two defense mechanisms that I have used are Denial and Dissociation. The way that they impacted a situation is, that when I was a little girl both my parents used to beat me and my brother. Sometimes it was because we had misbehaved other times it was because something happened in their lives and they took it out on us. I remember being around 5 or 6 years old and a DHS worker came to our house and sat both of my parents down and talked to them then they talked to both me and my brother separately and we was both scared of what might happen after the DHS worker left that we didn’t tell her the truth but it didn’t matter my parents believed that we had already told someone about the abuse and that’s why they were there. After the DHS worker
I needed to make a rhyme, I soon fell victim, Really needing a rhythm, I think that this English four class Has a serious vendetta for my… (sanity) Truly, it’s such a travesty How easily this homework brings me to my knees, Oftentimes I wonder, If this class has a hunger, Just dying to consume my happiness, Instead leave me with only nastiness… And then, I’m reminded, My brain, kicking itself, How easy it is for me to get overwhelmed, I’m not like Homer Simpson, I’m not made so easily done, I can handle doing things that aren’t fun.
My very first time riding on one of these monstrous roller coasters gave me a surge of adrenaline. As the ride began, a lump in my throat beat like a removed heart prepared to walk a platform. As the ride picked up speed, the resistance from gravity developed against my body until I was not able move. A practically intangible delay as the wheel achieved the highest point of its climb enabled my body to unwind in a brief state of normalcy. At that point there was an ambush of stomach-turning weightlessness as the machine proceeded with its rotation and I slipped back toward the earth.
Growing up with mental illness they called me crazy, annoying, and angry. They looked at me differently. They’d even talk about it amongst themselves, but never offered guidance. That’s the problem with society these days. Everyone loves a party, but no one wants to clean up the mess.
In my brief life, I have overcome a lot of adversity. My mom fled Mexico with her three young children to escape domestic violence. When we came to this country we had only a few personal belongings and the promise of a better future. We came to this country and lived in a small trailer with no toilet other than a bucket, and no shower except for the one that was lent to us from the kindness of a stranger, our new neighbor. As a single parent, my mother had to work day and night to support us.
“Mikyla Anna Massey grab the damn scissors and tape!” “I won’t.” This is the infuriating yet somewhat comedic definition of me and my sister’s melodramatic relationship. I had left the ‘damn’ scissors and tape in the basement approximately three weeks ago. Why should I go fetch them if I am not using them in the first place?
Growing up my parents had two very different ways for handling conflict between my siblings and myself. I use us as an example because growing up and even today I never really see my parents get angry about anything. With my mom she was more of a disciplinary parent and she was very strict on my siblings and myself. When we would argue between the three of us she was make us talk about why we were angry. If we did not go along with this excerise she would discipline us by taking things that we loves (cellphone, tv, etc.).
Words Can Hurt Bombarded by the bullies and lies, it all started in 6th grade by being called a “slut” from my so called friends. I would go home after school to be put down once again, I was “dumb” according to my family. By then I had no faith in myself and the world came crashing down on me. I was getting D’s and F’s in school. I would go home and lock myself in my room trying to get away fro the name calling but that didn’t help.
