This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the First State Conference of Child Welfare Boards: With the Board of Control Ladies and Gentlemen: This is the first state conference of county child welfare boards ever held In the state of Minnesota, and the first conference of that kind-a conference of child welfare boards - ever held in the United States. It is possible to have such a conference because of the laws of the state of Minnesota relating to the welfare of children. Our director of the children's bureau spent several days of this week in Washington, called there by the Federal Bureau of Children to participate in a conference on matters relating to child welfare. He found, when he got there, a most enthusiastic welcome as the representative of a state that was so progressive. There was a note of appreciation and enthusiasm over the work that Minnesota has accomplished. It seems to me that as citizens of Minnesota we ought to be proud of the fact that we have enacted laws taking care of the interests of the handicapped children of the state. The interest of the handicapped children is the interest of all the children of the state; it is tho interest of all the people of the state, whether they come in direct contact with the problem or not. There is this striking thing about the laws relating to child welfare in this state. What do laws represent? A sentiment that has already been created. In this state many of our laws relating to child welfare are ahead, in a sense, of the sentiment existing in the state. They are laws to be lived up to. They arc laws to which we must educate ourselves and our communities to observe and to understand and to interpret in a broad and liberal spirit. They are themselves the most wonderful propaganda. They have teeth in them when it is necessary. They have vision in them. And they lay the foundation for a broad, constructive program for the benefit of the children of the state of Minnesota. Most of the laws of Minnesota represent a partial crystalization of public opinion on this or that phase of social matters, but these particular laws, as I am sure you will remember, those of you who have read them and studied them, are in advance of what might be supposed to represent the public opinion of the state of Minnesota on the handicapped children of the commonwealth. And because they are in advance, one groat obstacle In this great matter of social reform has been removed. We do not now need to think about particular laws to be achieved. We have the laws. Here and there they may need to be perfected, to be changed, but tho great broad principles in them are already in law, and all we need to do is to educate our people, to educate our communities to the realization of the value of those laws. No other state in the union possesses such a children's code. That is a thing to be proud of, but if we stopped with that, we should not get very far. Wle must make that code or laws a living thing. We must make it something practical, something that we can use daily in the work before us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child An Analysis of Treaty Provisions and Implications of U S Ratification written by Jonathan Todres and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth text goes beyond the rhetoric of the debate on children’s rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in particular, to provide a detailed examination of the impact that U.S. ratification of the Convention would have on U.S. law. The chapters have been written by leading children’s advocates and scholars with a general audience in mind, as the authors believe that it is important for all Americans to become informed about the Convention and about children’s rights in general. With a greater understanding of the substance of the Convention and children’s rights, readers will be better positioned to determine what the real issues are, what is simply rhetoric without any basis in fact or law, and how they can address the real issues in an effective manner in order to provide a better world for all children.

Download or read book The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families TANF Block Grant written by Gene Falk and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant provides federal grants to states for a wide range of benefits, services, and activities. It is best known for helping states pay for cash welfare for needy families with children, but it funds a wide array of additional activities. TANF was created in the 1996 welfare reform law (P.L. 104-193). TANF funding and program authority were extended through FY2010 by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA, P.L. 109-171). TANF provides a basic block grant of $16.5 billion to the 50 states and District of Columbia, and $0.1 billion to U.S. territories. Additionally, 17 states qualify for supplemental grants that total $319 million. TANF also requires states to contribute from their own funds at least $10.4 billion for benefits and services to needy families with children -- this is known as the maintenance-of-effort (MOE) requirement. States may use TANF and MOE funds in any manner "reasonably calculated" to achieve TANF's statutory purpose. This purpose is to increase state flexibility to achieve four goals: (1) provide assistance to needy families with children so that they can live in their own homes or the homes of relatives; (2) end dependence of needy parents on government benefits through work, job preparation, and marriage; (3) reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies; and (4) promote the formation and maintenance of two-parent families. Though TANF is a block grant, there are some strings attached to states' use of funds, particularly for families receiving "assistance" (essentially cash welfare). States must meet TANF work participation standards or be penalised by a reduction in their block grant. The law sets standards stipulating that at least 50% of all families and 90% of two-parent families must be participating, but these statutory standards are reduced for declines in the cash welfare caseload. (Some families are excluded from the participation rate calculation.) Activities creditable toward meeting these standards are focused on work or are intended to rapidly attach welfare recipients to the workforce; education and training is limited. Federal TANF funds may not be used for a family with an adult that has received assistance for 60 months. This is the five-year time limit on welfare receipt. However, up to 20% of the caseload may be extended beyond the five years for reason of "hardship", with hardship defined by the states. Additionally, states may use funds that they must spend to meet the TANF MOE to aid families beyond five years. TANF work participation rules and time limits do not apply to families receiving benefits and services not considered "assistance". Child care, transportation aid, state earned income tax credits for working families, activities to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, activities to promote marriage and two-parent families, and activities to help families that have experienced or are "at risk" of child abuse and neglect are examples of such "nonassistance".

Download or read book Science in the Service of Children 1893 1935 written by Alice Smuts and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive history of the development of child study during the early part of the twentieth century. Most nineteenth-century scientists deemed children unsuitable subjects for study, and parents were hostile to the idea. But by 1935, the study of the child was a thriving scientific and professional field. Here, Alice Boardman Smuts shows how interrelated movements—social and scientific—combined to transform the study of the child. Drawing on nationwide archives and extensive interviews with child study pioneers, Smuts recounts the role of social reformers, philanthropists, and progressive scientists who established new institutions with new ways of studying children. Part history of science and part social history, this book describes a fascinating era when the normal child was studied for the first time, a child guidance movement emerged, and the newly created federal Children’s Bureau conducted pathbreaking sociological studies of children.

Book excerpt: This women's history classic brilliantly exposed the constraints imposed on women in the name of science and exposes the myths used to control them. Since the the nineteenth century, professionals have been invoking scientific expertise to prescribe what women should do for their own good. Among the experts’ diagnoses and remedies: menstruation was an illness requiring seclusion; pregnancy, a disabling condition; and higher education, a threat to long-term health of the uterus. From clitoridectomies to tame women’s behavior in the nineteenth century to the censure of a generation of mothers as castrators in the 1950s, doctors have not hesitated to intervene in women’s sexual, emotional, and maternal lives. Even domesticity, the most popular prescription for a safe environment for woman, spawned legions of “scientific” experts. Barbara Ehrenreich and Dierdre English has never lost faith in science itself, butinsist that we hold those who interpret it to higher standards. Women are entering the medical and scientific professions in greater numbers but as recent research shows, experts continue to use pseudoscience to tell women how to live. For Her Own Good provides today’s readers with an indispensable dose of informed skepticism.
