No. 896-21110 UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT 148 F.3d 462, 1988 U.S. App. LEXIS 16771; 77 Fair Empl. Prac. Cas.
Summary: On April 18, 1938 Jack Miller and Frank Layton were arrested by police when they attempted to take an unregistered sawed-off double barrel shotgun from Claremore, Oklahoma to Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Transporting a firearm that has a barrel under eighteen inches over state lines is not registered and has no stamped paperwork violates the National Firearms Act of 1934. The NFA was a, "revenue act, levying a $200 transfer tax on all covered firearms"(NYU Law, 61). This was a useful tax during this time because it helped control the gangsters from acquiring machine guns(NYU Law, 61).
The action was brought as a test case to determine the legal rights of the Meriam people to land on the islands of Mer, Dauar and Waier in the Torres Strait, which were annexed to the state of Queensland in 1879. Prior to British contact the Meriam people had lived on the islands in a subsistence economy based on cultivation and fishing. Land on the islands was not subject of public or general community ownership, but was regarded as belonging to individuals or groups. In 1985 the Queensland Government attempted to terminate the proceedings by enacting the Queensland Coast Islands Declaratory Act 1985, which declared that on annexation of the islands in 1879, title to the islands was vested in the state of Queensland "freed from all other

Mr. Ryound’s behavior could be be classified as “extreme and outrageous” considering the physical abusive directed at Mrs. Buskins. Furthermore, looking at the “totality of circumstances” it is clearly evident that Mr. Ryound was partaking in outrageous conduct, defined as high order of reckless ruthless and deliberate malevolence that is simply intolerable. See Dolores Ann Boyle v. John H. Wenk, p. 4, (1979) and Chukwadera B. Okoliv. Blessings N. Okoli & another, p. 2, (2011). Shifting to Mr. Ryound’s perspective, there is no mention of any consent through official documentation or verbal form.

“Serious abuse usually involves a combination of factors.” “A pattern of physical and behavioral sign is a serious indicator and should be reported.” (Florida Dept. of Education, 2015, Section 1006.061) As an educator and professional it is my duty to report any signs of neglect and/or abuse, especially if it is on going. The first thing that should be done is an ongoing documentation made by myself to ensure that I have proper dates and information to pass on to the administrators.
Confusion and memory loss are a part of growing older, a significant amount of residents struggle with these to different degrees. Within the policy it states that sexual abuse is any sexual contact with a resident that is nonconsensual. All people no matter the age have physical needs and have the right to express and act on those needs. The problem is depending on confusion and memory loss who determines if a sexual act is consensual? For example, a woman could believe a man in her long-term care facility is her deceased husband and she consents to having a physical relationship with that man.
The social worker did not handle the case correctly or completely. Herman obviously had some social issues, and showed signs of psychological problems. No action was taken on account of those possible problems. No supervision or consultation was exercised in this case, even though the social worker did not know precisely what should have been done. Though the senior center director seemed to care more about her job than about Herman, she was simply following protocol that comes with her occupation.

During my time in this facility, my eyes were opened by the drastically different lives of the girls and young women that resided there, and by their stories of how they had come to live in this home. Serving as one of their mentors, I honed in on the skill of active listening and I attribute this to be one of the reasons why I was able to have a good relationship with the residents, as well as why they felt comfortable coming to me to share their concerns and life updates. I learned the importance of maintaining eye contact, demonstrating care and regard for what they shared with me, and of asking specific questions in a calm manner to let them know I was truly interested in what they had to
