Mi Sun Case Study

SCENARIO 3: Mi Sun the 8-year-old female is experiencing a few cultural barriers that make her situation unique. Coming from a Korean-American family means that Mi Sun and her family are viewed in their culture as one family unit as opposed to individuals in a family. Mi Sun’s culture believes a child owes a debt to their parents and must respect them at all times. Mi Sun’s family may have operated in a benevolent monarchy, and when she reported the abuse she violated all that her family believes in. The additional pressure Mi Sun may feel that is coming from the church is due to traditional beliefs that Mi Sun is not following. In Mi Sun’s situation, placing her with a non-Korean family is a great call. A traditional Korean family may …show more content…

In order for unification to go well the Mi Sun’s family has to be open minded to providing compassion, love, and safety due to abuse being traumatic. From there, advocacy work should be done on behalf on Mi Sun so the father receives domestic violence classes to ensure Mi Sun’s safety should she be unified and be returned back home. Frequent check-ins should be required to ensure the family has not suppressed Mi Sun’s voice to expression any abuse or wrong doing. Should Mi Sun be placed at a foster family the foster family should be aware of how Mi Sun’s cultural aspects may have prolonged her reporting of the abuse and how their family structure does not allow Mi Sun to be an …show more content…

a LGBTQQ center for youth and their allies. YPI has a basic needs pantry that can provide Charlie with personal hygiene products, food,clothing, and a safe place to be free of judgement. Charlie should be aware of the hours of YPI and recommendation made for Charlie to join an YPI support group or attend one-on-one counseling with an LGBTQQ identified clinician. Next, Charlie’s father should attend some workshops that would teach Charlie’s father what he needs to know about gender identity and sexual orientation. After that, the social work/ case manager should check into any Kindships that are willing to take Charlie in that may be able to offer support.

    The whole family is in need of therapy since the parent cannot realize their son crying for help, and if they would just create the time to talk to him, If Dean has some unresolved issues, then he could discuss them with someone who can give him some insight. I would propose a career counselor due the fact that no one has seemed to care that he is trailing with a “C” average, and there might be some interest Dean has that no one has ever noticed. I would recommend career assessments, and I would question him about college. There is little future in a rural area in a predetermined job that he may hate. This could drive Dean further into despair, and he seems to miss his old classmates and friends. It is extremely odd that no one in Dean’s school has cared enough to help him search for a college that he could attend. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. There is an extremely important reason that Dean is drinking, and he needs to talk to somebody. There is a social stigma that goes with being a gay teenager, and if Dean is gay, then he will need a caring therapist, the love and support of his family, and last but not least, Dean needs to accept himself. Dean has not given himself time to think what he wants without being persecuted by others. In all, being gay is not a choice; consequently, it is the way an individual is, and

Sun-Kyung Yi said, “My parents were ecstatic at the thought of their daughter finally finding her roots and having a working opportunity to speak my native tongue and absorb the culture” (Yi, 1992). There are benefits and challenges that come along when living in a multicultural society. Therefore, these challenges have become very dominant over the immigrant children.

  • Child Maltreatment

    2804 Words  | 6 Pages

    Child maltreatment is a widespread issue that affects thousands of children every year. There are four common types of child maltreatment; sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse and neglect. All of these types of abuse are very serious and can have many consequences for the children and families. The most common consequence of severe child maltreatment is the removal of that child from their home (Benbenishty, Segev, Surkis, and Elias, 2002). Most social workers trying to determine the likelihood of removal evaluate the type and severity of abuse, as well as the child’s relationship with their parents (Benbenishty et al., 2002). When children are removed from their homes there are many options of alternative housing. The places they are allowed to live are a relative’s home, foster home, or a group home. In a study of children removed from their homes, 68% went to a foster home rather than a relative or another form of alternative housing (Faller, 1991). Reunification with a parent is the most common goal that is set forth by Child Protective Services even though recurrent abuse is likely to happen based upon the prior type of abuse and the age of the child (Connell et al., 2009). Child maltreatment is becoming a prevalent problem that has numerous consequences for both the child and family.

  • Argument Paper on Abusive Families

    924 Words  | 2 Pages

    The decision of whether a child should be removed from the home where the father has repeatedly beaten the mother, the child witnessing these offenses; however, the father never abusing the child is argumentative. In my perspective, the child should be removed immediately from the household where there is any domestic violence taking place regardless if the child is involved or not. Parents are supposed to support their child, ensuring the safety of their child in their happy, safe, loving environment at home. Why have a child have to witness this violence on a daily basis? What happens emotionally towards the child seeing their parents fight and argue each day? These questions arise in defense for taking the child away from the household to ensure the safety and providing the child with a worrisome lifestyle. While discussing my arguments for the sake of the child, I will be examining the child’s safety, well-being, and how the child is directly affected by domestic violence within their family.

    2866 Words  | 6 Pages

    Domestic violence is an issue that many American women face everyday. However, those who are not exposed to it often do not have a clear understanding of the horrible, damaging effects it can have on a person. It is a hidden issue, one that occurs most frequently in the privacy of ones home. Often times those who are exposed to domestic violence are very reluctant to talk about it. Furthermore, in different states there are similar ways that women can protect themselves from their abusers through various legal processes. Domestic Violence is a severe issue affecting the young and the old in the United States because of the severe effects it has on a person, physically, emotionally, mentally as well as psychologically.
