‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ is a television series that many people have been aware of since August 2012. Depicting the life of a southern low class family, Alana Thompson, the star of the show, participates in pageants and displays her charismatic personality throughout every episode. Mama June, Alana’s mother, is known for her extreme couponing ways in order to take care of her large family living in McIntyre, Georgia. Recently, ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ took a turn for the worst when Mama June started dating Mark McDaniel, a registered sex offender in the state of Georgia. He is accused of molesting Mama June’s daughter, Anna Cardwell, when she was just eight years old. According to Radar Online, “Officer Bauch wrote in the report that Anna …show more content…

Anna will be exposed to the man that took advantage of her and one that she should avoid for the rest of her life. Anna tells TMZ “it is mama’s fault and I blame it all on her” (Phil, 2014). June’s own daughter is questioning her value and belief system. Mama June is not taking a utilitarian approach to evaluate her decision because she is only concerned with the benefit she will receive. She is also not taking a moral-rights approach because she is disrespecting Anna’s feelings and security. As an effective parent, the safety of your children should be the number one priority. Stated in the Constitution, denying any human being the right to life, liberty, property, health, and safety is illegal. This exposure to Mark will cause emotional and mental conflict as it will bring back a plethora of memories that Anna simply does not want to …show more content…

The show has been cancelled, as I stated above, which means the income will stop. But, what does the future hold for the children, specifically Anna? Will Anna be able to forgive her mother and move on from her personal ethical dilemma or will she have to live in the absence of her mother because of her relationship with Mark? Anna may be mentally abused due to her incident with Mark, which could cause for a rough life now and even more importantly in her future. She may need to attend therapy or counselling to further deal with the issues. Will Mama June put her children through this danger or wake up to realize the immorality? Will she get the kids taken away from her? A code of ethics needs to be put into place with Mama June and herself, as well as with her children in order to protect everyone

    945 Words  | 2 Pages

    The novel Makes Me Wanna Holler discuss the problems of the black Americans from an insider prospective. When I say black Americans, I mean from the cultural issues, fatherhood, family, and how blacks working class families are anything, but lazy. Nathan recalls his troubled childhood, rehabilitation while in prison, and his success with the Washington Post. The novel helped me understand the mindset of black males and why some choose to be affiliated with gangs. Additionally, I learned that bouncing back from a hardship time help you regain strength because Nathan went threw a lot. However, I did not relate to the novel, but I understood the concept of it. The title of this book speaks out loud about the inner struggle that he dealt. I did relate to the racial incidents and wanting to work early to have the best appearance. I actually did enjoy the

    When I first heard about the Casey Anthony Trial, I thought it was a sick joke. Nobody knows my name but, I got my ‘ole lady Casey Anthony knocked up in December of 2004, and on August 9, 2005, at the age of 19, Casey gave birth to my sweet baby girl, Caylee Marie Anthony (Website 2).

Matt says he wishes for the best for her and Kelli must face the consequences. Even though Kelli appear in a Dr. Phil television show stating her lawyer told her that the T.V. interview might have ruined her chances to the case (Rosin). This gives Kelli a slight chance to fail the case, by telling information to the audience and the attention to the media. In Kelli mind it’s acceptable for parents to complain about, how they feel oppressed by their children. It’s mostly clear that Kelli wanted to, “appear on the Dr. Phil show to her own publicity rather than most tell people on how raising an autistic child helps” (Rosin). Later on thought the Dr. Phil show Kelli attorneys would mention that if Kelli would not do anything about saving her life Kelli had the possibility of facing the death penalty her friends were suggesting for her

  • To Kill A Mockingbird Songs Analysis

    “Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way…Don’t let them control your life. That’s just how I feel. Fight for yours and don’t let them go. Don’t let them compare you, no.” This song by Nico and Vinz means that you should take your own path and if someone is judging you, you shouldn’t let them “control your life.” When Nico sings this he is also saying that you should “fight” or stand up for what you think is right even if no one follows or agrees with you. These two themes about judging others and standing up for what you believe in come up many times in the novel To Kill A Mockingbird and in Jem and Scout’s life. The children learn from these lessons and can use it to understand the world better. Although opponents might say that

  • Deadbeat Dads are Not Criminals

    2046 Words  | 5 Pages

    Fathers every year in Washington go to jail for nothing more than being broke (Deadbeat). They are called “dead beat dads” by their peers, scorn by society, and treated as subclass citizens (THE, ASSOCIATED). This is a very grim reality that men of every age range face daily. Both men and women make the choices which result in babies. However, women are given a choice at every stage of the child’s development to adopt out, abort, or even use contraception (Why). Thus, men and women share equal responsibility in the acts that conceive children. However, men do not have the same options women do (Why). Despite this, DCS hunts men down as if they are the answer to all of society’s problems, treating men like criminals until they lay a golden egg. Some men never do lay the golden egg, and these are the truly “dead broke” dads (Miller; Deadbeat). Ultimately, the question that we have to ask ourselves is, should we prosecute “dead-beat” dads? My stand on the issue is clear, and I believe I have the evidence on my side. I’ll tell you why this is a failure of society with statistics, testimony, experience, and court records. I should hope that once you have seen the evidence, and the pleas from the downtrodden fathers of society who have been forced to turn tail and run, endure endless nights in prison, and lose their jobs or even their licenses, you will see that this approach is not only a violation of their civil liberties; but, is a violation of their very rights to live.

  • Dr. Charles Smith's Case: The Case Of Tammy Marquardt

    1534 Words  | 4 Pages

    Charles Smith attacked easy targets; many of those he helped convict shared parenting similarities. James Lockyer represented Marquardt and several others in which Smith played a part in the conviction. He asserts that being an “easy, easy mark” was the common denominator among those he helped exonerate from Smith’s wrongdoing and “Tammy was a good example of an easy mark [being] a young, single mother who was impoverished and on welfare” (Shapiro, 2011). It becomes very clear that Charles Smith targeted his victims regardless of the evidence found (or fabricated) to support their guilt or innocence. He speculated on issues that were so far from his line of duty as a medical expert, raising legitimate concern of his intention to fulfill his assigned role, or if his desire be a hero for the prosecution and secure convictions of ‘failed parents’. Tammy Marquardt easily fit into this category of poor parent being a “teen mother with a history of substance abuse and troubled relationships with men” (Shapiro, 2011). Her lifestyle and choices were classified as deviant, leaving her stigmatized. Her youth and heavy drug use raised questions about her ability to parent responsibly and were consequently used to convict her. The cold, hard facts of the case meant less to the Crown than the social status of the accused, as is often seen in cases of wrongful

  • Mary Ellen Wilson: Child Abuse In America

    1207 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since the case of Mary Ellen Wilson in 1874, child abuse has seen it’s share of light in published news. It is disheartening to read countless stories of future generations being harmed to the extent of psychological damage or even death. Child abuse as a whole has been addressed multiple times in various news blogs, however, nothing has been done to work towards abolishing it at a larger level. The future of America is in jeopardy based on the level of abuse that children endure. Childhelp states that approximately 5 children die every day at the hands of child abuse. America struggles to find equality, and by bystanding the stripping of its youth, continual prolonging is inevitable. Raising this nation’s children in means of nurturing and care is the first step to uplifting America as a whole. In 2012 alone, 1593 of America’s children died at the hands of child abuse, 70.3% of which were younger than the age of three (Safe Horizon). In order to prevent further child abuse, the American government should address stricter child protection laws, psychological stability, and an increase the recognition of those that have released their stories.

  • Quiet Storm's Article: I Have Dissociative Identity Disorder

    1416 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fortunately, I was born to two parents who decided to break the Hispanic practice of spanking children when they do something wrong. My parents wanted to be different than their own parents who beat them with anything they could find. I cringed as I read Storm’s past because I never had to endure this with my own parents who found alternatives to disciplining me. I question whether Storm’s parents were victims of abuse when they were younger and if Storm was simply another victim of a lifelong cycle of abuse. Although she is an adult now, her mind remains a child due to the fact that she was robbed of her adolescence. I feel this way because the greatest thing in life is being able to learn how to love and care for someone without ever having to feel that they may hurt us later on. When Storm began stating in detail her experiences, I was shocked to read at how her parents portrayed the image of being strict parents in public, but behind closed doors they were monsters to their precious child. Furthermore, the images of Storm sitting in her pile of feces makes me think of my five year old niece. I believe this article has hit me so hard due to the fact that I am very protective of my niece and her well-being. I cannot imagine myself looking into her deep hazel eyes as I tie her to a bed or lock her into a closet for days the same way Storm’s mother did. I wonder if Storms parents ever felt remorse as they looked into their child’s eyes each time they abused her. I cry out to her who suffered in the hands of two individuals who were unfit to be parents and did not deserve to ever have children. I feel that parents like these should be arrested and locked away in the same conditions they put their children so that they may feel the pain their children had to

  • Intimate Partner Violence

    More than one in three women in the United States have experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2012). Thirty to sixty percent of perpetrators tend to also abuse children in the household (Edelson, 1999). Witnessing violence between parents or caretakers is considered the strongest risk factor for transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next (Break the Cycle, 2006). State legislatures are increasingly passing statues that encourage participants in the Criminal Justice System to attack the issue of domestic violence more aggressively. Some states still fail to realize that IPV involving a woman that is pregnant should be considered a felony because it affects the well-being of the unborn child.

She did not dismiss the notion that sexual abuse is and can be extremely damaging, but she did want to point out how abuse that wears away at one’s mind can be worse in certain situations. Morrison did not offer answers to this issue of abuse to one’s mind, but rather she wanted to make people think about how they perceive these two forms of mistreatment. Morrison wanted to raise awareness on why psychological harm should be viewed as just as damaging as some of the other disparaging treatments towards children.
