    FDR 531 Week 2 Assignment 1

    We understand from the CPS assessment and interview with (SU) there was a safety plan initiated involving the paternal aunt as a Safety Service Provider (SSP). Mother and child stayed with her as father already had planned to stay with a relative. It is reported and documented that father had his bags packed by the time LEA and CPS went to the home on October 8, 2015. We understand the safety plan was in place for less than a week as mother then moved back home with child and agreed to have friends check in on her. Parents were very cooperative and able to plan parenting time accordingly and were in the process of initiating divorce/custody proceedings. Our understanding is the father was never restricted from contact with the child by DHS—on the night of October 8, 2015 we understand Mr. Lasich stated he would stay away from his sister’s home until everything was sorted out.…

    Who Is Responsible for the Children Left Behind When Mothers Go to Prison?

    Most children, especially young children, are in the primary care of their mother when she is arrested. The degree of disruption in these children 's lives upon the arrest of their mothers depends in large part on where they go and who takes care of them while she is incarcerated. Mothers in state prisons report that their children are in the care of the father in just 25% of cases, while the rest go to a grandmother (51%), another relative (20%), a family friend (4%), or a foster home or agency (11%) (US Department of Justice, 1993). Two percent of children under 18 live alone, without adult supervision. (These statistics do not add to 100% because mothers may be reporting on more than one child, and the children may be placed in different settings.) Grandmothers are the largest caregiver group, and the many difficulties they face have been well-documented.…

Little Daquan was born two months premature and weighed three pounds six ounces, born with a heart murmur and slight difficulty breathing. When Crystal was faced with the caseworker from social services, she realized that she would only be dismissed from the hospital with little Daquan, if the caseworker was certain that her mother Florence’s apartment was suitable for living with the infant. The caseworker also believed, that Crystal had been coerced into sex with father Daquan Jefferson because he was so much older than Crystal, she denied all allocations. The caseworker determined that crystal would be placed in Queensboro Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Children, until her mother would find a sufficient apartment for her children and grandchild. Crystal continued the eighth grade in the Bronx, where the residents of Queensboro. By December little Daquan weighed seven pounds and was overdue for his discharge. Crystal’s mother Florence still had not found a sufficient home for them to live. By mid December little Daquan was placed in voluntarily foster care. By voluntarily placing him in foster care it would be easier for Crystal to get him back when she was mentally stable with a healthy environment. Little Daquan was placed with the Hargrove’s, a couple which lived in Long Island. Crystal began weekend visits to continue a relationship with little Daquan. Crystal had all intentions of getting little Daquan back once she was ready, although through her adolescence she became very destructive. In 1992, Crystal found an apartment, and got little Daquan back. At this point he was 8 years old. (Sheenan, 1993) I chose to focus my question around little Daquan, who was placed with foster parents, eventually lived with his father and his family, then…
