OEQ
1. How do you feel about child abuse?
It depends, but overall, I feel that it is wrong. any kind of abuse (verbal, sexual, physical, emotional, etc).



2. What are some signs of child abuse?
Well, it depends with each type of child abuse. For example, with physical abuse, there will be marks on the child's body. Also, if the child has a change in behavior, does not want to go home, etc.


3. Do you believe ACS effectively dealt with the cases of Nixmary Brown (7 year old girl from Brooklyn who died from beatings) and Sherlyn Polonia (2 year old baby from the Bronx who died of heroine overdose)? Explain.
Hmm, I only know the story of Nixmary Brown (RIP). I think that the ACS could have dealt better with her family before her death. I remember that there were several complaints about her family, but nothing was really done. If ACS had investigated further, they might have found that she was being malnourished, etc, and perhaps would have been able to save her life.



4. How do you think the ACS should deal with child abuse?
I think they should try their best to check out each case and make follow up checks. Eh, I'm not exactly sure how they deal with child abuse now...



5. Do you think the ACS' efforts covering child abuse have improved thereafter? Explain.
Eh, I really don't know, sorry.



6. What do you think the long-term effects of child abuse have on its victims?
Well, it would definitely scar the victims emotionally and influce the way they act/feel about/around certain things. They might not trust others easily and would question their motives.



7. To what extent do you think the use of narcotics influence child abuse?
I think it might be to a great extent. Narcotics may cause the user to do things/act in ways they might not normally. Also, it can make the user more violent and susceptible to child abuse.



8. What kind of improvements would you suggest that ACS make concerning how they address child abuse?
I'm not sure how they currently address child abuse, but I think they should be more diligent and to try not to overlook small cases.



9. What would you do if you knew someone who was a victim of child abuse?
I would first tell him/her to get an adult to help, someone that would know what to do. Of course I would be there to support him/her, but (s)he really needs the help of an adult.



10. What sentencing should a child abuser receive?
It really depends on what they did. The more severe the abuse, the longer time they should serve.
