Pages : 34
Book Description
As Child Abuse Investigators for over 10 years, Amanda Wallace and Tafarrah Austin have worked tirelessly to protect children from abuse and neglect while simultaneously protecting families from the convoluted Child Protection System. As the "system" became more powerful, their ability to keep families safe reduced. They had had enough. Drawn from a lifetime of frontline work in the field of child welfare, The Respond in Power Guide: A Parent and Caretaker Guide to the Child Protection System is a solution to a problem that has plagued the system for far too long. For the first time ever, parents and caretakers will have the playbook used by child protection workers across the country. By following and implementing the strategies in this guide, your actions will show CPS your child is safe. Your actions will also show your intentions to limit all attempts by CPS to assess your "appropriateness" to parent your child. Your action will show CPS that these are your children and you know the law. Whether you are a mother, father, grandmother, uncle or godmother of a child, the Respond in Power Guide is your go to resource for discovering HOW CPS became so powerful and WHY you should never consent to a power struggle with CPS over your safe children. The Respond in Power Guide helps parents and caretakers of safe children understand the law to ensure their parental rights are protected when engaging with the Child Protection System. By reading this guide and Responding in Power to the Child Protection System, you will be a part of the movement to change the way the Child Protection System is allowed to operate. About the Authors Amanda Wallace received her Bachelor's of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. With a 10-year career as a Child Abuse Investigator, Amanda worked throughout several counties in North Carolina. Watching the rights of families decrease and the power of CPS increase, Amanda realized that she had become the silent enforcer for an oppressive system. It was then that Amanda understood the system and the perceived power given to CPS by society. This insider knowledge will truly help families understand how to STOP CPS. The lack of knowledge of the system makes fear a natural response when families encounter CPS. That same fear fosters compliance with unlawful and unethical CPS policies. This guide is an apology to families on behalf of the system by acknowledging the problem and giving the solution directly to those who need it: "FAMILIES". "You MUST protect YOUR Culture, YOUR Rights, YOUR Families"-Amanda Wallace Tafarrah Austin started off obtaining an Associate degree in Office System Technology, Legal. Tafarrah continued her education by obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology with a minor in Criminal Justice. If that wasn't enough, Tafarrah pursued her Master's in Criminal Justice and Public Administration. Tafarrah, would later pursue a Certificate in Substance Abuse Counseling. With the knowledge obtained Tafarrah secured a position as a Child Abuse Investigator in Child Welfare. The passion was there, the spark was there, and the need for protecting children was there. As time passed, the vision became clearer and clearer. Working day in and day out in a "system" for well over 10 years, The Blinders were removed. Tafarrah developed a desire to help families understand the "system" which ultimately wasn't designed to help families involved in the Child Protection System. When interacting with families Tafarrah was constantly reminded that to help families grab the ropes in this oppressive system she needed to help families understand how to STOP CPS. "We can either be part of the PROBLEM or part of the SOLUTION....You Choose, I Did"

Parenting Matters
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309388570
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 525
Book Description
Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Child Protective Services
Author: Diane DePanfilis
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Child abuse
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
From the Preface: This manual, Child Protective Services: A Guide for Caseworkers, examines the roles and responsibilities of child protective services (CPS) workers, who are at the forefront of every community's child protection efforts. The manual describes the basic stages of the CPS process and the steps necessary to accomplish each stage: intake, initial assessment or investigation, family assessment, case planning, service provision, evaluation of family progress, and case closure. Best practices and critical issues in casework practice are underscored throughout. The primary audience for this manual includes CPS caseworkers, supervisors, and administrators. State and local CPS agency trainers may use the manual for preservice or inservice training of CPS caseworkers, while schools of social work may add it to class reading lists to orient students to the field of child protection. In addition, other professionals and concerned community members may consult the manual for a greater understanding of the child protection process. This manual builds on the information presented in A Coordinated Response to Child Abuse and Neglect: The Foundation for Practice. Readers are encouraged to begin with that manual as it addresses important information on which CPS practice is based-including definitions of child maltreatment, risk factors, consequences, and the Federal and State basis for intervention. Some manuals in the series also may be of interest in understanding the roles of other professional groups in responding to child abuse and neglect, including: Substance abuse treatment providers; Domestic violence victim advocates; Educators; Law enforcement personnel. Other manuals address special issues, such as building partnerships and working with the courts on CPS cases.
