Kates Story: Part 2

在儿童发展中心：Diane, a preschool teacher, called her manager for help. “Hey, Sandy, will you come look at some marks on Kate’s arms?” The two women knelt down while Kate pulled up her sleeves. There were dark scars up and down her arms. Some appeared fresher than others. Others were in various stages of healing. Some looked like dry skin. All were roughly the same size and shape. Later, Diane overheard Kate’s stepmother Gigi talking to another parent about their children’s behavior. She heard, “It’s OK to whip a child. Just don’t leave any marks.”

黛安和她的团队几个月只与凯特合作，但他们正在越来越关心她的行为和社会发展。她似乎是回归。她有更多的厕所事故，但会隐藏工作人员的事故。当她发生意外时，她会隐藏在桌子或其他家具下。当一个新的婴儿出生在家庭中时，球队知道一些孩子在厕所训练上回归，但凯特的行为似乎足以担心他们。凯特开始更频繁地爆发哭泣和尖叫。当中心工作人员试图与Gigi和Alan进行对话时，家庭没有回应Diane希望。他们与黛安友好，但她感觉到他们对凯特感到愤怒，因为造成麻烦。在谈话后，家庭避免了黛安。他们掉下了凯特，尽可能快地挑选起来，几乎没有时间谈话。 They did not attend any family events or conferences at the CDC.

在社区中：Neighbors often heard shouting and crying from the house. Tonight felt different. Kate’s neighbor, Tammy, had heard Kate's crying begin about an hour ago, and her cries had turned to screams and sobs. “Something’s not right. I’ve got to do something.” She asked her husband to come outside and listen; he agreed that something didn’t sound right. Together, they called the military police. When the police arrived, they found Kate naked in her bedroom with feces on the carpet. There were scratches and bruises of various shades on her face and body.

In the Family:凯特的继母在电话里和她的堂兄在电话上。米娅听到了凯特的继母发誓并怜悯孩子。“你愚蠢的小[****]，”她尖叫着。“我不敢相信你仍然像[****]宝贝一样撒尿。我希望我的宝宝不是像你这样的愚蠢的[****]。你毁了我的地板。你毁了一切。艾伦，拿到皮带。她又这样做了。“然后她听到了凯特父亲的声音踩到了。她可以听到孩子的哭泣，因为她被鞭打。

Reflection Questions:

  1. 虐待或忽视的迹象所做的老师和不ighbors notice?

    There are many signs that Kate was being abused. Unfortunately, it can be difficult for all the people who care about a child to put the pieces together. Here are signs that people noticed:

    At the child development center: Diane and her administrator noticed a variety of scars on Kate’s arms. This raised suspicions because there were so many, they were in various stages of healing, and they were relatively uniform. They also had some concerns about Kate’s behavior and social development.

    在社区中：Kate’s neighbor heard verbal signs of abuse. Extended crying, screaming, or other distress is a likely sign that a child is in danger.

    In the Family: Mia heard an example of emotional abuse. She heard Kate’s stepmother swear, insult, and threaten the child. She then heard physical abuse begin.

  2. 根据您在第1部分阅读的内容，存在额外的滥用或忽视的迹象，但家庭以外的人们不明？

    No one outside the family knew the extent of abuse Kate was experiencing. No one knew that she was forced to remove her clothes when she had an accident. Nor did they know that all of the furniture was removed from her room and that she was forced to sleep on the floor. They did not know that she experienced daily whippings and beatings from her father. They did not know that Kate’s father and stepmother were verbally and physically violent towards one another.

    • Alan和Gigi驻扎在远离大家庭和朋友的安装上的高压力职业。
    • Kate had experienced developmental delays and failure to thrive. Her parents might not have felt equipped or prepared to meet her needs.
    • 一个新的宝宝出生了。
    • 家庭有暴力行为的历史和差的应对技巧。

  4. 想想五个保护因素。什么支持可能帮助家庭周围的每个因素？注意：这些答案旨在帮助扩展您的学习。yabo电子游艺预计您预计不会知道这里列出的所有资源或可以帮助这个家庭的每个资源。与您的教练，教练或管理员交谈，了解程序中的特定资源。Parental Resilience:This family was dealing with a great deal of stress: the birth of a new infant, a move. What community or installation resources might have helped?

    新的父母支持计划可能有助于他们自己识别压力的迹象。它可能有助于他们确定在育儿或对孩子们感到不知所措时使用的策略。

  5. Social Connections: As military service members stationed in a remote location, this family was isolated from extended family and friends. Kate's biological mother lived several time zones away. What could have helped them build social connections?

    This family was isolated from extended family and friends. Kate’s biological mother lived several time zones away. Gigi’s friends and family were all far away. Neighbors clearly cared about Kate’s well-being, but the families might not have been close. Opportunities to get involved — and give back — to the community might have helped this family build connections and feel less isolated.

  6. 在需要时的具体支撑：当Alan和Gigi互相袭击时，这个家庭经历了危机。他们需要什么具体的支持？

  8. Social and Emotional Competence of Children: Given the severity of Kate's situation, we might expect her social and emotional development to be impacted. What might have helped her?

    CDC的团队开始对凯特的社会发展和行为有所担忧。这也很清楚，她的家人认为她的事故是挑战的行为。这在家庭中产生了压力。以下策略可能有助于凯特：

    • 用心理健康专家咨询或治疗。凯特需要帮助理解和处理进入新家和家庭的情绪。她还目睹了她父亲和继母之间的暴力行为。她可能会受益于帮助处理这一体验。
    • Promoting social skills. Kate might have benefitted from strategies to help her communicate her needs and solve problems in the classroom. They could help her learn appropriate ways to express fear or anger in the classroom. They could continue building nurturing relationships with her, so she continued to feel safe at the CDC.
