Case 1: Dirty House
This case does not seem to be constituted as child abuse. There remains to be no substantial evidence of physical child abuse. Maybe being unsanitary for the children by allowing them to live in a home consisting of bugs and animal feces. Long term problems of health risks could accumulate over time and that seems to be the biggest issue at hand currently. Also I would suggest the parents to apply healthier eating habits for the children to abide by. Since the kids are healthy as of now, with no physical signs of abuse I would rule out charging anyone with child abuse as of yet.
Case 2: Massage Parlor Case
The case appears to be slightly more complex in determining the report of being child abuse. I would not report it because it seems to not be affecting the child currently. Being raised in this setting for a child, becomes somewhat stressful and cause emotional issues later on in life. The people coming in and out of the parlor could also remain to be very bad influences later on in life, being exposed to this kind of behavior and drug use can certainly push the child in an unwanted direction. Since there is or have not been any reports made about physical or sexual abuse I would not file now but, the parents should express other activities for after school.
Case 3: Truancy Child
Since the child was known for not going to school, the parent deciding to forcible hit the child with a strap, certainly needs to be reported as child abuse. Average punishments for this nature normally relates to grounding, privileges revoked, or chores. With the child being beaten and marks being left for long periods of time, I would definitely report this. Punishing the child was necessary but, this kind of
between these problem areas and creating greater efficiency within our current healthcare system in creating an updated system "that aligns science and informatics, patient-clinician partnerships, incentives, and a culture of continuous improvement to produce the best care at lower cost" (Smith, 2012).

specialist and start seeking early intervention services Some additional tests have to be done to determine any other abnormal behavior in the child, this can be either physiological or psychological, this is to better determine the symptoms of the patient, and if treatment has to be initiated, but as already mentioned, early intervention is important for a better chance of treatment. Parents and teachers have to keep a close eye into the development of the child, and trust their instincts, their child…

This is crucial to medicine since new therapies and devices can be made to improve medical outcomes. Examples of nanotechnology’s potential impact on medicine includes new drug delivery systems, new therapy regimens, new ways to diagnose diseases, and repairing damaged cells…
for such a minor offense. “With taxed and regulated marijuana, federal and state governments would suddenly free up $26 billion spent annually on the failed drug war.” (Carl Gibson 2012) A whole new line of products could be introduced into our economy that we can tax on, opening up new businesses and creating job opportunities. Secondly, legalization can provide medical uses for people who do not have the resources or qualifications to file and receive a medical marijuana card. 80% of people who…
