Yes, it is appropriate. Sometimes people need care but are embarrassed to seek it out or their situation does not enable them to get to traditional clinics. For the case of women living in shelters or in extreme poverty, it can be difficult to obtain medical care because they may lack the funds to pay for it, they may lack awareness of the fact that they need care, or they may be hampered by social or environmental issues that keep them from reaching out for help. Sometimes people need to see first that there are others outside of their own small world who are willing to enter in and offer assistance. This has been shown to be the case with educators who make home visits and the same is true for physicians (Ventura et al., 2014).

Genital warts are spread through skin-to-skin contact and cannot be spread any other way. They must come from contact with the genitals (Genital Warts, 2017). The doctor feeling relief about the mother’s story of the boy in the shower stall shows a significant degree of gullibility on the part of the doctor, at least in that moment. It sounds like she did not want to face the issue any more...
Vicky’s struggle is certainly understandable but it is also regrettable. The situation she was in with the mother was undoubtedly uncomfortable but as a physician, she should have known immediately that the boy was being molested. She should not have allowed the mother to leave with the son because who knows what could happen next? They might have fled the shelter and the boy could still be in harm’s way.

Being an advocate is about publicly promoting a cause that you believe to be important. Going to the shelter to help provide quality care to the homeless is a good cause—and Dr. Vicky clearly wanted to show advocacy in this way. However, she was not mentally prepared for some of the issues she might find there—such as child endangerment. She was not betraying the family by alerting the authorities; rather, she was betraying the cause by accepting the “shower stall” excuse as an out. A doctor can remain an advocate while also reporting crimes because a crime is a crime; criminals should not be protected just because reporting them means that the family gets…

Domestic Violence on Children Many people throughout the world have traditionally believed that women's natural roles were as mothers and wives and considered women to be better suited for childbearing and homemaking than for involvement in the public life of business or politics. This popular belief that women were somehow intellectually inferior to men, based in large part on religious authority, has led many societies throughout the world to limit
("Home Confinement / Electronic Monitoring," n. d.) House arrest or home confinement started as a program to handle particularly as a sentencing substitute meant for drunk drivers, but rapidly spread over to a number of other offender populations in a lot of jurisdictions. Depending on the nature of crime committed by the offenders, home confinement has been designed with various degrees of stages of restrictions. These can vary from ordinary
Given this priest is able to coax and created situations where boys are with him alone is even worse. In short, the counselor in this situation has no choice but to step in and say/do something. To make a final decision, it would normally be wise to do some information gathering and to truly find out for sure whether or not this man has offended or not. However, the only
Given the context and the fact that being a convicted criminal and a sex offender could conceivably make the risk of any type of abuse (whether or not of a sexual nature) foreseeable, that defense is unlikely to succeed. However, generally, the knowledge of one Board member who does not disclose that knowledge to the Board will not be imputed to the rest of the Board. In any case,
What appears to explain their shared high rates of violent behavior is their increased interpersonal dependency. They are socially withdrawn and entertain a negative view of themselves. These difficulties with trust are common in the two disorders. They are thus more personally dependent on their partners. Furthermore, veterans with a major physical health problem are likelier to commit domestic violence than the other veterans surveyed. The physical problem tends
Victimology In recent years, information about the widespread problems of sexual abuse have become more readily available and less secretive than ever before in Western culture history. Rape and molestation are reported on the news and to police agencies with a great deal more consistency than in decades past. Although the subject remains extremely taboo in most circles, it is widely known that tens of thousands of children in America alone
