...Salutary neglect, a term coined in 1775 by Edmund Burke in an address to Parliament, was the unofficial British policy of lenient or lax enforcement of Parliamentary laws regarding the American colonies during the 1600s and 1700s. This policy meant that the strict trade regulations put in place were very laxly enforced and that Britain would stay out of internal colonial affairs as long as the colonies remained loyal to the British government. This caused the legal and legislative institutions of the colonies to become more and more autonomous, ultimately leading to the American Revolution. In the mid-1600s, the British government set up the Navigation Acts in hopes of creating a favorable balance of trade as well as continuing to exploit...

...Britain’s American Colonies prospered throughout the period spanning from 1607 to 1754 in both their economies and legislations. The colonists had established sustaining local institutions able to govern and regulate trade during this period known to the British Parliament as salutary neglect. With the recent defeat of the French in The French and Indian War, the colonists were prepared to expand westward into their newly acquired lands. However, not long after the Signing of the Treaty of Paris ending the war in 1763, did the British set out to revise their pre-war neglect towards the colonies and reorganize the British Empire in America. Rooted in the defiance of civil liberties, arbitrary taxation, and the end of salutary neglect, the aftermath of the French and Indian War led to philosophical and ideological frictions in Anglo-American relations, that ultimately commanded the Revolutionary War...

...Educational it is defined as a parent or care giver who neglects their children’s educations, or neglects to attend to the child special needs education. When a child does not have structure are guidance in their lives there is a strong possibility that they will drop out of High School. Teens dropping out of high school have become an epidemic in the United States. According to Bridgeland,& DiIulio, Jr., Morison, in 2006).when a parent or care giver does not play an active role in their children’s education; the child will not take their education seriously because they do not have the support that they need from the parent; so majority of the time the child will make the dangerous decision of not completing their education. This is one of the reasons why the children do not finishing school. The role that a family member plays in the child education is very important. Bridgeland, DiIulio, Jr., Morison, (2006) states that adolescents are dropping out of school because their parents give them too much freedom. The parents are not as concerned about their children’s education as they should be. These children have a lack of guidance in their lives, and the issues that they face on a daily basis makes their education seems less of a priority; when they are searching for a place to fit in because they are not receiving the support from family members that they need. Even though the departments of education are forming effective strategies to keep students in school, (NDPC/N 2011)...

...In families where alcohol or other drugs are being abused, behavior can range from loving to withdrawn to crazy and can be frequently unpredictable and communication can often be unclear. Family life can be characterized as chaotic and uncertain. Structure and rules may be either nonexistent or inconsistent. Children, who may not understand that their parent’s behavior and mood is determined by the amount of alcohol or other drugs in their bloodstream, can feel confused and insecure. They love their parents and worry about them, and yet feel angry and hurt that their parents do not love them enough to stop using. Many children who are raised by parents who abuse alcohol and other drugs are not neglected, but children raised in such circumstances are four times more likely to be neglected than other children. Substance abuse is a difficult situation for anyone to deal with, but the problem is compacted when children are involved. Parents who are substance abusers may knowingly or unknowingly be causing a number of problems for their child.

...Child abuse is the physical, sexual or emotional maltreatment or neglect of a child or children.[1] In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department for Children And Families (DCF) define child maltreatment as any act or series of acts of commission or omission by a parent or other caregiver that results in harm, potential for harm, or threat of harm to a child.[2] Child abuse can occur in a child's home, or in the organizations, schools or communities the child interacts with. There are four major categories of child abuse:neglect, physical abuse, psychological or emotional abuse, and sexual abuse. In Western countries, preventing child abuse is considered a high priority, and detailed laws and policies exist to address this issue. Different jurisdictions have developed their own definitions of what constitutes child abuse for the purposes of removing a child from his/her family and/or prosecuting a criminal charge. According to the Journal of Child Abuse and Neglect, child abuse is "any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm".[3] child exploitation is one of the biggest problems of the planet. It is increasing constantly. More than 250 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 work in the world; it adds up to 11,5 million teens between the...

Would you be able to forgive yourself after knowing you’re harming them and have been for some time now? Thinking is a funny thing huh… The quantity to repeat, judge, and come to conclusions due to our experiences, awareness, and intuition. It’s what makes us human and has allowed us to create, communicate, and become sophisticated. Thinking envelops so many features of to whom children are also what they do from watching, learning, commemorating, questioning, and judging to introduce something new like making their own decisions, arguing and disobeying. Ultimately it’s your choice, I can’t make the decision for you but I can tell you why not to let your child be on a technology most of the day also what they could be doing instead. You should let them be a child until they don’t want to be anymore because once their childhood is over they’ll be forced to grow up to survive in the outside world, do not make them grow up before they should. They’re not ready. No one is. There’s slight ambiguity that most of the current technologies are regulating the way we think in obvious ways but yet subtle, intentional and involuntary, but beneficial and detrimental.

...Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is the most common mental disorders of childhood and affects 3 to 6 percent of the child population (about 3.5 million kids) in the United States. Approximately 15 million people in the United States have Attention Deficit Disorder, but there are many aspects of this disorder that many people are not even aware of. Attention Deficit Disorder is a neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system, as well as the motivational system. ADD affects two important parts of the brain that are connected with the ability to pay attention and the ability to regulate motor activity. ADD is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. There is a deficiency in the brains' ability to produce and use certain chemicals called transmitter substances (neurotransmitters). It is said to be hereditary, in fact more than one third of the parents of an ADD child had ADD when they were children and as many as 75% of children diagnosed with ADD have a least one relative who has it (be it a parent, sibling, or uncle). The behavioral aspects of ADD are very similar and intertwine between three main categories, in which many symptoms and characteristics fall into. These categories are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Inattention means failure to pay attention and the characteristics involved with this category are all symptoms of an inattentive person. Hyperactivity means the state or condition of being excessively or pathologically active. All...

...Reaction paper one According to the article, childhood abuse leads to greater mortality and morbidity in later adulthood, and dysregulated physiological stress responses may underlie the greater health risk among abused individuals. Therefore, this study mainly focused on evaluating the impact of childhood abuse on inflammatory responses to naturalistically occurring daily stressors. There are 130 older adults participate in this study. Recent daily stressors and childhood abuse history were evaluated using the Daily Inventory of Stressful Events and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. To provide data on inflammatory responses, blood samples are collected to test circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Study visits were scheduled between 8 to 10 A.M to account for diurnal changes on circulating cytokines. Participants are divided into two groups: caregiving group and non-caregiving group (control). Then a Childhood Trauma Questionnaire is given to assess abuse in childhood. Lastly, Daily Inventory of Stressful Events is given to assess the occurrence of daily stressors in the past 24 hours. The results are consistent with theoretical models, revealing that childhood abuse history was associated with amplified IL-6 responses to naturalistically occurring daily stressors. According to the article, abused individuals experienced multiple daily stressors have IL-6 levels 2.35 times higher than those of non0abused participants...

...is affecting the children of the world? Age, Sex, Race, or Religion does not discern child abuse. Any child can face any of the following abuse at any time, sexual abuse, physical abuse, or even neglect. Approximately 702,000 children were victims of maltreatment. Sexual abuse is the third most common type of abuse that is reported. Just fewer than 10% of these 702,000 were sexual abused. Krugman & Jones define sexual abuse as, “ the involvement of dependent, immature children in sexual activities that they do not fully comprehend and therefore to which they are unable to give informed consent.” The second most reported type of abuse is physical abuse. These statistics show that over 15% of the 702,000 have been physically abused in some way, shape or form. We live in a time period where, physical pain is often used by parents or caretakers to alter or manage a child’s behavior. This parental behavior often exceeds the threshold of social acceptability, and could be defined as physically abusive. The most common type of maltreatment that is experienced is neglect. Over 75% of reported abuse or maltreatment is neglect. There are multiple types of neglect, such as physical neglect, educational neglect, and emotional neglect. Out of these three, emotional neglect is the hardest to determine. One knows if a child is not being physically taken care of or is not going to school. These are just some of the types of abuse that children are put through, but how...

...children are not violated through collecting data and conducting investigations. The ‘COAG report’ found that in 2007-08 there were over 55.000 reports of child abuse and neglect within Australia. However since the report has been conducted there has been a dramatic reduce in the number of abuse and neglect cases within Australia. The COAG National Framework is effective in meeting the needs of children and protecting them as the highest priority. The child's welfare within Australia is unsuccessful in prioritising the rights and protection of children however the COAG National Framework addresses these issues and has been pushing for change in the recognition of child welfare. Furthermore, the COAG promotes a safe and welcoming environment for children to assist an early tertiary child protection program. The COAG National Framework ultimately aims to protect the most vulnerable families and children from neglect and abuse. The effectiveness of the COAG can be measured by the successful cases used through welfare benefits and assistance. For example, Holzer, Lewig, Bromfield and Arney (2008) which protects the rights of children to establish and implement child welfare reforms. On the basis of the evidence provided, the COAG National Framework is effective in addressing the protection of children in abuse and neglect cases and families. Finally the slogan being “protecting children is everyone's right” ensures that children within Australia are kept nourished and safe. The NSW...

...deserve. Justice for these young children seems to far away, but it only takes one person to stand up for them, cause an issue in the system and then these children get the life they so lawfully deserve. While we are country of people who profess to love their children, there were three million reports of child maltreatment in 2004. Experts believe this represents only one third of actual incidents. More than 800,000 reports were found indicating a rate of 2.9 per 1,000 children. That’s not surprising, considering how staunchly we defend our right to physically discipline our children. As long as no injuries result, parents may hit their children with impunity. Four children die from maltreatment everyday, a number largely undercounted. Neglect, often associated with poverty, leads to slightly more child deaths each year than abuse. Saying that, there are also children out there who are fortunate to get fostered out to families who truly wanted a child and were...
