Family income is strongly correlated with incidences of child maltreatment, with lower income families reported more often for child maltreatment than higher income families. How might these factors be related?
1. In a document write one paragraph for each of the following topics:
a. Family income is strongly correlated with incidences of child maltreatment, with lower income families reported more often for child maltreatment than higher income families. How might these factors be related? Consider societal factors that marginalize or discriminate against low-income families.
b. As a school social worker, what information would you need to know when working with parents who have substantiated allegations of child abuse against them? How would you gather this information while maintaining a positive working relationship with the parents? How would you assess and capitalize on their strengths?
c. Many people interpret the abusive or neglectful behavior of a parent to mean that they are a bad parent in every way. As a social worker who needs to work cooperatively with these parents, what social work ethical principles might help you maintain fairness and balance in your interactions with these parents?
d. You work in an investigative unit of Child Protective Services. A report comes in from an 8th grade teacher that a student may be a victim of child abuse. The teacher reports she noticed various bruises on the student’s arms one morning and the student has a history of absences from class. You arrange to meet with the student at school as part of your investigation. What should you look for? Consider which bio-psychosocial risk factors contribute to child abuse and research these if necessary. Which risk factors are most highly associated with child abuse and neglect? What questions could you ask the student to gather information about these risk factors?
