Welfare

No, they are mostly children, the old, the sick, the mentally ill, or working young single women/mothers. Only about 2% are the stereotypical able bodied man who is too lazy to work. also kids are not lazy i do'nt want to send the wrong message.

I would not say that most of them are lazy but a fairly large number of them ARE lazy..The majority being single mothers ages 20-29 who end up having a 2nd or 3rd child while collecting welfare.Most of these are able body people who continue to have children so they do not have to go to work..

People who are able to work yet do not seek work and remain on welfare for 5,10,15 years are LAZY..

So an average percentage would be that 45% of those collecting welfare are lazy...

Many "black people" as you say are not always on welfare or in a gang. There are many succecessful black men and women, and the appropriate terminology would be African American. In my opinion i find your question very ignorant.

Answer: You might first begin by obtaining a restraining order against this certain person, as this way your problem is logged with law enforcement agencies. The above is true, but I would like to add that Child Welfare isn't stupid and I am sure they will see through what is going on. Marcy, thanks once again. I finally got the guts and sense to ditch this man. I did not provide any closure or explanations, I just cut him out of my life. I realised that to get closure or end it nicely was just adding another cycle into the madness of him. I finally said to myself, I don't care, enough is enough, life is too short. I feel great! And am excited about life. I am concerned though as I mentioned. The other night the Police came here in the middle of the night and woke me up. They said they had a call for an apparent suicide from my address. I live alone with my child. Then they seemed far too casual as though it wasn't really a suicide call and they did not search closets etc. They briefly walked around the house and i saw one officer looking under my dresser as though for drugs as its only two inches off the ground and certainly no one could hide under there. It sounds nuts of me, but i think he made a call to police and said a lie about me and the only way they could get in here without a warrant was to say its a suicide investigation. Also they believed me at face value immediately as though they figured out it was a prank. In addition, last month someone called child welfare on me. Child welfare came here and right away told me they could tell they had nothing to worry about and they talked to my child for less than 2 minutes and they were totally satisfied. They closed the file as there are no concerns. Also I nearly forgot to mention last year when i broke it off with him and he thought i was seeing another man my car window was smashed in. I don't know if it was him but honestly when things happen like that he seems to be in a really good mood after and after the window he approached me two days later all happy and was trying to win me back. Its as though he feels satisfied then he can start to be nice again after venting. Then 2 weeks before that that man told me he was admitted to the hospital for heart problems. My friend told me to call the hospital and see if it was true as she thinks hes a sociopath. I called the hospital and there was no record. He came here and showed me his shaved chest where they put the monitors!!! Then when I asked him about child welfare and the heart thing he was very nervous and shaky as though he knew I was onto him and said are you implying anything. He then freaked out about the heart problem thing and was screaming. I have talked this over with family, my mom especially and friends and everyone thinks he is dangerous. During the time I was with him, he became increasingly bizarre, jealous and controlling. He told me i wasn't allowed to talk anymore, that only he can talk. He told me I'm nuts over and over. He put his hands around my throat in a choking hold without force though, he has held me down, screamed at me, if i didn't answer phone or door hes thinks i met someone else, he has spread rumours to men who are interested in me, he threatened one and he just went away, he has told me i am to leave my door unlocked so he can come here anytime he wants, he told me he feels good to think he can do anything to me and that's the way it should be, he found pleasure in my crying many times and would tell me I'm too crazy for him but in the same conversation he would yell to get in bed with no clothes on and he would show up ten minutes later, he has tried to ruin every good thing in my life such as education, even though i already had a degree but went to take more courses and he tried to make me tired and crazy, friends, other men who talk to me like me as a friend and he hates other men to think I'm rational and smart, vacations, all holidays, everything. He has asked me many time if I am seeing anyone else and when i said no he would say in a really creepy voice, well that's good now isn't it? When I painted my place and spruced it up with new couches which i hadn't had anything new in years, he came over and said oh it doesn't look that bad! I told him that was meant to hurt me as i had already told him how proud i was. He has asked me before if I record our phone calls. He sounded paranoid and no he is not married as I have met his children, been to his place, met his friends etc. He sounded generally paranoid. I told him that I did not understand why he would think such a thing as i for one would not do that and for what purpose? So now I am finally free. I am 35 years old and ready to go on with my life to much better things that me and my child deserve. I have finished a course that is really going to help me earn quite a lot more money than my sociology degree. I have decided to move but stay in the same city as well. I am relieved this is all over. What do you think of this whole thing? He has followed me on the highway and pulled his car right up beside mine when we started seeing one another. Am I being paranoid to think he called the police and made up this false story, mind you it was the same night i ignored all his calls. I have refused and will continue to refuse all contact with him. There is nothing more for me to say as there is no need to tell a nut hes a nut! Any input is appreciated. It's very important hon that you do as the above poster before me told you to do and put a police report in on your abusive mate. This way it's on record and the police will be less apt to bother you. The law is, that if there is a complaint at your address the police HAVE to investigate. It doesn't mean they feel you are guilty of anything and they aren't stupid and know pranks when they see one, but still they have to follow through on the complaint. I know because my mom had Dementia severely and before she was hospitalized I had the RCMP knocking at my door once a month. The officer was nice enough to come in the evening and I asked him into my home. He was pleasant and told me this sort of thing happened all the time, but when a complaint is turned in, by law, they have to investigate. If you put a report in although they still have to come to your door that's about all they will have to do and that's the end of it. Eventually enough is enough with the police department and they will close the file like they did on my mother. Sad, but it happens. I have no doubt whatsoever it's your abusive mate doing this or it's also a possibility a friend of his could be doing it as well (even a new girlfriend has been known to do such things.) He is suttely making annonymous claims of you using drugs to mistreating your daughter because he knows your daughter is your life and by having her taken away he knows that would hurt you more than anything. One of my male friends broke off with his girlfriend because she was not psychological sound and did drugs. He would come out of his home to find his tires slashed and the convertible top to his car in shreds. This woman took a knife and did all that damage! Your ex mate is very abusive and dangerous! My first husband was OK at first, then it was verbal abuse (I was too young to catch on at first) and then it became physical abuse. We were up in the North country and we both worked on a dam there so we were in a remote area. This type of environment is every abusers delight because you are away from friends and family. What he didn't count on was I fought back! The first time he struck me I had just gotten home from work and I was ironing clothes by the doorway as it was very hot outside. He was in a mean mood when he got home and kicked the basket of clothing. I ignored it and kept ironing and then came into the trailer to fold clothes. Just out of the blue he nailed me with a right punch and I landed on the floor and believe me I actually saw stars! He appeared to be just as stunned as I was because up until this point he had never physically abused me, but abused me mentally. No one in my lifetime had ever hit me like that and no one was going to start now. I ran over and got a Teflon frying pan and whacked him over the head! LOL Thank God it wasn't a cast iron frying pan. It was not out of anger so much as survival. He started to get up and I told him if he moved one muscle I'd hit him again and I meant it! I went right to the RCMP office and put in a complaint. Whether it was because of the report I made to the police or the fact my ex knew he couldn't get away with this abuse he stopped, but he was nasty and mean and would shove his fist in my face. The dog I had at the time bit him twice! Once we left in October and returned to Vancouver I found a new apartment, moved with the help of a friend, filed for divorce and got a new job and I can tell you "freedom" sure is worth fighting for! I had a wonderful time and mainly went out with friends (male/female) and did date, but was very cautious. Then I was introduced to my present husband and he's a sweetie. We've been married for 34 years and I wouldn't trade him for the world. Oh yes, we have our arguments, but we have learned to cool off, come back and talk things out. He has never laid a hand on him, but I had been blunt about that at the beginning of our relationship and explained what had happened with my first husband and I would fight to the death rather than be mistreated by any man. The one thing I had going for me was we had no children or property at the time so it was easy to get away from him. My first husband did phone and beg to come back and when I refused, just like your ex, he got down and dirty. Again I filed a police report and my ex finally drifted away to his mistress. I am so happy that you are finally free and I know lots of young single moms that are just making it fine out there. A young girl I befriended in a large food chain was in the same position you are now and she had a little daughter. She was lonely because she was very cautious of men and found them hard to meet and of course her daughter always came first. My husband and I knew of a very nice young man where my husband use to work and we were going to double-date with them on their first date (to make things easier on both of them.) When I went to tell her and arrange things she had met a lovely man who her daughter adores and although they were taking it slow and easy (for daughter's sake) she was wearing an engagement ring and they were getting married the following Spring. I couldn't help but be suspicious so she arranged for a time when I could come into the store on her lunch break and her fiance was there. He was a very nice young man and I had a gut feeling he was perfect for her. I hear from her off and on and things are going wonderfully for her and I know this will happen to you. Yes, it's him harassing you. If you can borrow a video camera or even rent one for a week get pictures (at a stop light) of his car behind yours with his license plate in view. I suggest you stay away from isolated roads and if he won't leave you alone on the highway pull into a gas station or a police station. File that report with the police!!! Go to the Abused Women's Center in your area and they will help you a lot (even with the legalities of this creep.) They are there to protect you and that they will. I volunteer for an Abused Women's Center in British Columbia and I see all the good they do. Still, for the sake of your child you need to protect yourself and if it means video taping this creep to recording one phone call where he makes threats then you do it! The more you can give the police to work on the better off you'll be. There is also a victim advocate, but I'm not familiar with this sort of thing in the States. Hopefully Mackey will come up with some good advice on the legalities and places you can go that I don't know about. For now hit that Abused Women's Center. It will do you good to be around other women who have gone through the same thing and are heading for freedom. You go girl and please keep in touch! God Bless I went to the Police. They said a peace bond or restraining order, but I will need proof. The calls have stopped from his number. I do not answer any private numbers. He has never harassed me much by phone, he does it in person or through people. So all I can do is hope he has given up. I havent heard anything besides these private numbers that are showing up, so maybe he has given up. But my gut tells me he is just waiting to pounce. I am being carefull though and I do not go anywhere hear mutual friends etc. I have also put in a transfer to move where i live. I will keep you posted. Thanks. Good for you hon! He could have well gotten the message by now, but, you know him and if you gut feeling tells you he's just sitting back waiting he probably is. Here's some tips re your move: TELL NO ONE! That means not telling your parents, best friend or coworkers. Not even your boss! Then get an unlisted phone # and also a PO Box for your mail. This should give him some internal combution! With luck he'll pop like a well inflated balloon and be no more. Here's hoping! Don't forget to keep in touch. When you get settled then phone your parents and your best friend, but other than your parents say nothing of where you are living. Sometimes best friends can turn out to be your worst enemy. Wait, be patient to see who is protecting you and who isn't. Good luck & God Bless Hi again. I am doing really well. I have NOT contacted him at all and he has not called since i ignored all his calls. I had not been out much though so I went to a friends house. He is friend with her husand. He must of been going to see if i was there or driving by to see if my car was there. Cause he showed up there right away. I did not look at him or say hello. I could feel the rage seething from him as he made sure i saw him ignoring me! I left right away very calmy. I guess I cannot go to that friends house anymore. I am being very carefull. I know this man is very mad. But I will be okay. Im glad to have my freedom and sanity back. Thank god.

That depends on what you consider to be poor. In the United States you can own your own home, have a car that is worth up to $4500.00 and have thousands of dollars in the bank (there is a limit there though).

To many that is beyond their reach. To an Ethiopian, this person was rich beyond their dreams before they got welfare.

The problem is that welfare in America has become an alternative to working rather then a temporary method of survival for some.

We are a rich enough country that we should not allow people that can not work to starve, but we have created people that are now dependent on this system for living (fairly well).

Welfare ranching is land owned by the government, which allows people to ranch for free. The purpose is to help the economy, and people whom are facing hardships.

Note: Just recently learned this in geography class hence fairly legit.

what country has the best welfare system

Trustee Role

An official who is expected to vote independently based on his or her judgment of the circumstances; one interpretation of the role of the legislator.

Parents play a huge role in child's life especially during the adolescent period where teenagers or the youngsters are going through a lot because of their transition from childhood to adulthood. They are in search of their identity, love, work and everything that happens in the adult world. As Erikson argued that adolescents face a crisis between identity and role confusion. They try out man possible selves and the need to select the best one for themselves. So as parents, their role is to guide the teenager and to give feedbacks and to support their teens. Teenagers also need someone to look up to and to ask questions when in doubt or in dilemma. parents should be authoritative where they are fairly controlling but are also responsive to their children. Last but not the least, parents influence their child's behavior and development.

No. WikiAnswers does not handle applications for 'Welfare Extension Officer.' You have come to the wrong place.

The best thing you can do is get a job and start saving. That is your ticket to freedom and emancipation. If you can show the court you can take care of youself you can get out. Go to a school counselor or ask around. There is probably a half-way house type situation in your area that was created for young people like yourself that have to get out of the house but aren't quite ready to stand on their own. Schedule as much time away from your parents as you can. Do your homework at the library and if you have a job that helps you save up for your own place and get away. Contact the local homeless shelter. They would much rather help you before you become a homeless runaway than afterward. There is also a possibility they might let you hang out there and volunteer to help or do your homework there which would let you have more time away from your parents too. The reality is, you are going to have to grow up sooner than you might want to, but growing up is the best way out.

Great Society

You question is broad, so I'm not sure I'm giving you the answer you want.

I have worked in child welfare for 15 years in the State of Tennessee. Most of the violations I see are accidents that are reported. Because professionals are mandated by law to report child abuse, they report almost any injury that comes to their attention that may have been caused by a parent.

To reduce injuries to children, I recommend they be supervised according to the needs of their maturity and developmental abilities. When using corporal punishment, which I recommend as a last resort, the object you use should always be the same so you are familiar with the amount of force needed to impress upon your child the unacceptability of their behavior, without injuring your child. Keep in mind that positive reinforcement is usually more effective than negative reinforcement. Corporal punishment should not be used on any child that has a history of being physically abused nor on a child over 10 years old, in my opinion. Older children do not respond to corporal punishment and tend to fight back, causing injuries to themselves or their caretaker.

I read one study that the reason corporal punishment is effective is because it is administered, swiftly. The pain inflicted had nothing to do with the effectiveness of the punishment. (The study used a group of children who had a condition in which they did not have pain sensors. Those child responded the same to the discipline as the normal children.) It is important to remember that punishments communicate your displeasure to the child. This can only be communicated, effectively, to a child that you have a bond with. In cases where you do not have a bond, I recommend the child be disciplined by the person they are attached to. Attachment is the basis of good discipline. If you are working with a child that has an attachment disorder or not attached to you, I recommended you study up on behavior management programs. Children with attachment disorders perceive discipline, differently, than children who are attached to their caretaker.

Most of the other reports we receive are sexual abuse or drug abuse and neglect. I feel I could write a dissertation on the topic of sexual abuse. I think the best prevention of sexual abuse is a vigilant mother. Mothers who pay attention to the feelings they get about certain people, seem to protect their children, better. Some parents were abused, themselves, making it more difficult for them to identify characteristics that make a non-abused person uncomfortable. Those characteristics I see in sexual perpetrators are a lack of personal boundaries, extremely low self-esteem, narcissism (compensating for low self-esteem by dominating), and a lack of socialization. These people are very manipulative and will make a parent feel bad about not trusting them with their child. So basically, don't let anyone talk you into allowing your child to be alone with them if you have any uneasy feelings or if they display those characteristics I listed above. The second thing I see that contributes to sexual abuse is moving too quickly in a relationship. Several of the clients I have interviewed, moved a boyfriend into their home after knowing them for a month or two. What the correlation is, I'm not sure. The final biggest factor I see is denial. Most cases in which, I find valid sexual abuse, are cases where the non-offending parent rules out the possibility that their paramour could or would abuse their child. To contrast, healthy parents pick of on signs of sexual abuse and when their child discloses or hints (most children feel their parents out before disclosing sexual abuse) believe their children, initially, at least. They do not rule out the possibility that their child may be telling the truth, and they get professional help, immediately. If you are a parent of a child that was sexually abused by your paramour, try not to blame yourself, though. Sexual perpetrators are very sneaky and manipulative. I have worked some cases where there were no signs of sexual abuse.

a one word for the stste which performs functions aimed at the welfare of the people

yes

Corporate welfare is not real welfare, actually. (Even though it's similiar.) Corporate welfare when the government gives handouts or tax breaks to businesses to either entice them to stay where they are located, or move to a new place, or do a number of other things. Many people think corporate welfare is unfair (no pun intended) because they think that the money the government hands out could go to better causes. There are a zillion stories about the "stupid corporate welfare situation" out there.
