How does child welfare work?

Child welfare means (the well being of a child) The question is too broad. Has the child been beaten up? neglected? verbally abused? or any other things done that do not appear normal? call the police department and ask for a child advocate or talk to a teacher church pastor human resources person if you have a job. or give more details on the question?

In the United States, child welfare is administered on a state level with some states having separate county administrations. The scope of the child welfare system within each state varies. In some cases, it may include juvenile justice and mental health services. In other states, child welfare deals only/specifically with child abuse and neglect cases. They may take child abuse referrals, assess the situation, and make a determination about the need for services and/or foster care services. Ultimately, a judge decides if a child needs to be removed from the care of their parent or guardian, with recommendations from a state caseworker and possibly attorneys and other service providers.

Many state child welfare systems coordinate removals of children with law enforcement. In most states, the child welfare agency makes the assessment but a few do have law enforcement do the assessment and actual physical removal of children.

Child welfare systems are a complex collaboration that varies from state to state. You can find more information about specific states by looking on their state website or see the Related Link below

My veiw;

I support the welfare state as it stops deserate people resorting to crime tro survive, I would rather pay someone to be lazy and live than for someone to rob/murder me.

Does the federal welfare system actually provide for the general welfare of the people?

well does spending money and creation of a national debt that our grand children will paying for in the "general welfare" of the people?

I find the simplistic answer above to be superfluous and therefore offer my own answer. As I interpret (as a layman) Article 1, Section 8 does support this, which was upheld in 1936 as Alexander Hamilton referred to the section. This offers ample justification for allowing Congress to address the broad needs of Americas poor. When the poor are not given aid, they will become burdens that reach far and wide, beyond their local jurisdiction. The Great Depression saw a huge refugee population. This is part of what it means to provide for the general welfare of the people. Considering today's context, reflect how we deal with the homeless, what we do with the chronically ill, how we aid the enfeebled old, the destitute and those who find themselves without an income because of nation wide economic distress.

I agree with the second answer. The first one is simplistic, and highly political. The Social Security program evened out the payments for seniors and the disabled. Before that, every State (and sometimes county) had a different formula for assigning aid. Most of them were not adequate for housing, getting medical care and/or food.

Social Security does work, and it works fairly well. It allows a minimum amount of income to live on. For both Retirement and SSDI (disability) you have to have had enough work credits to receive it. There are different requirements for both programs. There is, also, SSI (Supplemental Security Income). That is needs based, not based on work credits. That covers people who did not have enough work credits, and did not have enough income. For instance, my Niece was born with severe Cerebal Palsy. My sister receives a SSI check for her every month. That goes to help support my neice.

TANF is a short term (5 year maximum) aid. It is intended for those who have need (based on income and situation) to get back on their feet. Like people who are newly divorced or widowed or abandoned.

I work as a babysitter and the mother is on welfare and can't afford to pay me who will help her?

I'm assuming that you babysit a couple of houses.

Assuming that the mother is on welfare and can't afford to take care of the cost of having you babysit her children, If I were in your position, I would let her know that I would be available at only specific set times, and not very frequently. I would probably take into account their financial troubles, and do them a favor by babysitting for free whenever I would watch over her child/children, but I'd make it a point not to get over involved. I feel like doing a good deed to help them out is a great thing to take on, but it's important that you set your boundaries beforehand, so that you don't end up giving them free babysitting every day :)

What is the Beveridge Report and how did it result in the British 'Welfare State'?

The Beveridge Report (Report of the Inter-Departmental Committee on Social Insurance and Allied Services) was the setting down of measures to reform England's economic situation after World War II. Economist William Beveridge proposed that the five 'Giant Evils' of Want, Disease, Ignorance, Squalor and Idleness, should be beaten back by "new and better" economics. His Report gave a plan, and the practices it suggested, with the British citizen being "taken care of" by the government "from cradle to grave", became national policy. The state was so heavily burdened by this that many accepted the idea that England became a "Welfare State" with a large number of individuals "living off the dole" as it is said. Got links. Why not use them?
