Child Abuse Prevention Resources

 Ok after reading more in this morning's news about a child who was abused and was likened to a concentration camp survivor, https://lawandcrime.com/crime/parents-of-ohio-stepmom-are-now-charged-with-helping-abuse-boy-who-was-likened-to-concentration-camp-survivor/?fbclid=IwAR0SFxmX1Ivscz5al2SLTiotK5Y7nbW35U4Zoq8WgcjMYyJNoeMsndjVP4E this story literally makes me sick.  what kind of people are in this world that does stuff like this to innocent children. If a parent finds themselves in a situation where they feel they are not capable are taking care of a child then by all means own that shit and turn that child over to Child Protection Services or a family relative, or in other cases give the child to the other parent.  And to the strip parents that come into a relationship where children are treated that child like it was your own.  To treat a child like a piece of garbage because they are not from you is unacceptable.  I know there is a special place in hell for those who do such horrific things to children.  

Parents and step-parents once again I am going to post some resources for parents who might be struggling, to use them.  Reach out and ask for help.  No child deserves to be tortured or abused.

SafeCare is an evidence-based, behavioral parent-training model. SafeCare aims to prevent child neglect and abuse among parents of children 0-5 by targeting three skills that are proximal antecedents to maltreatment: positive parenting, home safety and supervision, and child health care. SafeCare is delivered in-home and includes approximately 18 sessions, with 3 modules that address the target skills (Parent-Child Interaction, Home Safety, and Child Health). The program uses behavioral strategies and teaching methods (e.g., observational learning, reinforcement, behavioral assessments, skill practice to mastery criteria) to ensure parent skill development. The National SafeCare Training and Research Center (NSTRC) at Georgia State University provides training and support for systems and agencies around the world to adopt SafeCare and deliver it to families. NSTRC was established in 2007 with funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation at Georgia State University. There are currently over 100 accredited SafeCare agencies in the United States and international settings.

The Full Frame Initiative (FFI) is a national nonprofit organization that works to break cycles of poverty and violence through systems change. FFI has discovered the common DNA among the organizations that effectively serve people with multiple challenges and lasting change occurs when people are supported in the full-frame of their lives. Many more organizations would choose to operate with a Full Frame Approach, but they are stymied by rules, regulations, and other barriers present throughout the social service system. In partnership with practical visionaries in government, nonprofits, philanthropy, and communities, FFI removes systemic barriers to full-frame practice, allowing more people and communities to thrive.

Mom arrested after shooting 2 sons in their beds, officials say

By Kali O'Rourke

Published: May. 3, 2022 at 3:02 AM MST|Updated: 12 hours ago

UPPER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, Pa. (Gray News) - A Pennsylvania mother is facing charges after authorities say she shot her two sons and tried to shoot her neighbor. The boys are not expected to survive.

Trinh Nguyen, 38, was arrested in a church parking lot at 11:30 a.m. Monday, hours after the shooting at her home in Upper Makefield Township, Pennsylvania. She faces three counts of attempted homicide, according to Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub.

The incident began when police were dispatched to Nguyen’s home at 7:05 a.m. for a report of an armed subject, said the district attorney’s office in a news release.

Nguyen’s 22-year-old neighbor told police that she handed him a box of photos and asked him to give it to her ex-husband, his co-worker. She then allegedly pulled a gun on him and tried to fire it twice, but the gun did not fire.

The neighbor wrapped Nguyen in a bear hug and disarmed her before she fled the scene, according to the news release.

When police checked Nguyen’s home, they found her two sons, ages 13 and 9, in their beds with gunshot wounds to their heads. Both boys were taken to the hospital, with at least one of them undergoing surgery.

Unfortunately, the boys are not expected to survive. They were being kept on life support Monday night until their organs could be donated, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Nguyen’s charges are then expected to be upgraded to two counts of homicide.

The news release says that when law enforcement found Nguyen at the church, she was also taken to the hospital because she seemed to be under the influence of drugs. Police believe she may have tried to kill herself, the Inquirer reports.

Authorities did not comment on a motive for the shootings, but court records indicate that Nguyen had more than $11,000 in unpaid rent. The family had been ordered to leave their home by Tuesday, according to the Inquirer.

Nguyen was denied bail at her arraignment.

The case is being investigated by Bucks County Detectives and Upper Makefield Township Police.
