Carla William’s story is not exclusive. Thousands of Native children were removed from their homes routinely by Child Welfare and shipped to non-native foster and adoptive homes over the course of three decades. Previous to these removals Aboriginals were subjected to Residential Schools, this results in as many as five generations of Aboriginal children being removed from their families.…

Indian Affairs Bill was written into law about 1930, this bill was intended to protect the Native Americans from the ever expanding whites moving west. This law allocated funds to move Native Americans to some designated lands known as reservations that was protected and enclosed. Many Native Americans died during the relocation, the ones who did not struggled to survive in the horrible conditions on the reservations dying from illness or starvation. Living on reservations and putting up with the isolation helped push the classification of the Native Americans to a minority. Native Americans quickly became subjected to prejudice and discrimination of the settlers and others migrating to the west. Congress started becoming concerned…
As early as the 1840s, highly placed officials had outlined a plan to subdue the intensifying rivalry over natural resources and land. Under the terms of their proposal, individual tribes would agree to live within clearly defined zones – reservations. In exchange, the Bureau of Indian Affairs would provide guidance, while U.S. military forces ensured protection. By the end of the 1850s, eight western reservations had been established where Indian peoples were induced to speak English, take up farming, and convert to Christianity.…
The child welfare system in the United States has change in the last several hundred years due to urbanization, industrialization, immigration, mass life-threatening illness, changes within the family system, government financial assistance for those in need and much more. Orphan kids and low income families had no type of help. Children as young as six years old living on the streets, with no food to eat, families with nothing to provide to their children, police mistreatment. Children had no federal laws to protect them, therefore they would suffer sexual abuse, physical abuse, and various other forms of maltreatment such as neglect (physical and emotional). It was not easy being a kid during the 1700s and 1800s. Child labor in Colonial…

them good opportunities? In reality the businesses are taking advantage over people who live in conditions were the amount of money the children could possibly earn could be detrimental to the families income. The businesses who hire these children are now incredibly happy because they get their product made for cheap, but on the other-side these children work so they can bring in whatever income they can bring in to their families. This is unfortunate because in reality many people would agree that this type of business structure is a bad thing. This style of business is great for…

Child Protective Services (CPS) is a complex system of assessments, investigations, and conclusions. CPS is the central agency in each communities child abuse and neglect service system. It is responsible for ensuring that preventative, investigative, and treatment services are available to children and families endangered by child abuse and neglect. As a result, CPS workers must perform a variety of functions when responding to situations of child maltreatment and play a variety of roles throughout their involvement with child protective clients. Reporting a suspective case of child maltreatment to the local CPS agency (or a family member’s own request for help with the problem) initiates the CPS response process. Once the intake is completed, an investigative process is done, and then the initial assessments and services planning processes are completed. Then the stage is set for implementation of ongoing services(Schene)(1). This description of the process of child protective services sounds acceptable and workable. However, an increasing number of child abuse and neglect cases have presented themselves in recent years. According to Jane Waldfogel, a writer for Child Welfare, about three million children were reported to the CPS in 1997, a more than fourfold increase over the number reported just 20 years earlier. In our society today, with increased violence and agitation the number has risen dramatically again. SHE ALSO…

The bill was then reported by the committee November 3, 1977, and passed the Senate on November 4, 1977. The vote was not recorded, in either the House or the Senate, so no record of the individual’s votes was ever made. On October 14, 1978 the bill passed the House with changes and the Senate agreed to those changes the same day. The bill was then signed into law by President Jimmy Carter on November 8, 1978. The Indian Child Welfare act was sponsored by South Dakota Democratic Senator James Abourek, who was a strong advocate for the passing of the bill. The Indian Child Welfare Act became the law numbered Pub L. 95-608. ("Bill Summary & Status 95th Congress (1977 - 1978) S.1214",…
I believe it is very important for parents and teachers to practice child guidance because they are the people that children look up to, while they are growing up. Especially parents, they are the first interaction that a child comes in contact with, so they are looking and observing every little thing that is being done and said. They are the ones that are a reflection of how a child will turn out when they get older. If a teacher is not fit to dealing with children them it will be seen, same for parents. If a parent is not able to distinctively access a child’s problem or interact with them this may cause problem in their social and emotional skills they have with other people. Parents and teachers are the ones that are supposed to be able to effectively communicate with children the dos and don’ts. When a child lacks social and emotional stability it may be hard for them to cope with people in the world. I would describe myself as strict, fair, easy and relaxed, because depending on a given situation any of these will be enforced. For example when I am strict it may be because I don’t want the child to do something they are not supposed to and I am trying to prevent anything from happening. Or, if the child is doing badly in school I would be strict about letting them go outside until they do better. An example of when I am fair is when something that was out of their control happened I will not punish them for it but speak to them about it because I know that things happen. The interaction style that most suites me is the authoritative style. Mostly because I don’t like to have children feel that they cannot be themselves while they are around me because they may be scared…
