THE COMEBACK:
I WISH I COULD BE FLUENT
IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE
YOU ARE FLUENT....
IN LIES, EXCUSES
AND BULL SH*T
THE MESSAGE:
Our society always reacts with abhorrence when stories of child abuse surface. We must be very proactive in fighting this evil before it happens.
In New York City, the child who came to be known as Case No. 95-2011-00009 was the fourth born into a home where abuse and neglect were practically a family tradition.
The mother, who was both a victim and perpetrator of abuse, had abused cocaine and suffered with mental illness. She repeatedly refused treatment; while knowing that keeping her family intact depended on it.
Still, she refused, and one by one, the authorities removed the children. She lost custody of her 10-year-old son in 2004. Her 7-year-old daughter was removed in 2005. And her 3-year-old daughter was taken in 2008.
When she became pregnant with her fourth child, there was an active neglect case against her. Yet when she delivered the healthy boy on Dec. 27, 2010, he was released to her care. Within a month, he was dead. It was never determined whether it was murder or accidental.
TONY TODAY:
Child abuse is any act of maltreatment of a child by a parent or guardian that results in injury or harm and included instances of neglect, emotional injury, physical abuse and sexual abuse.
The Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act of Alberta defines the four main types of abuse as:
1.Neglect
2.Emotional injury
3.Physical abuse
4.Sexual abuse
Each situation and family is different so, while some of the signs might point to abuse, they might also mean that the family is facing other problems that may contribute to child abuse such as:
- A lack of parenting skills
- Immature parents
- Parents with negative childhood experiences
- and social isolation
- Alcohol and/or drug use in the home
- Manufacture of drugs, indoor marijuana grow operations,
- drug trafficking in the home.
- Family violence in the home
- Frequent family crises
- Unrealistic expectations of a child’s behaviour and capacities.
Because Of You - Kelly Clarkson (Lyrics)
Stress and Courage Feel the Same
The physical effects of stress and courage, including breathing
rate and heart rate, cause similar sensations. This means you
can use this to your advantage. This is one of the most useful
things to learn!
When you’re feeling stressed in any situation, immediately
react. Your body is getting ready to embrace courage.
Know that you are NOT stressed.
Recent studies focusing on tend-and-befriend behaviours
associated with stress, seeking social support when facing
challenges, have found that “a befriend response may have
evolved to help us protect offspring, but when you are in that
state, your bravery faces all challenges.”
THE PUN:
England doesn’t have a kidney bank,
but it does have a Liverpool.
THE QUESTION:
When does an individual forfeit
the right to give birth to a child?
THE LEMON:
Guess who?
