What brings you here today?
|
Question |
|
Noah and I are here today because he’s got some kind of rash. I noticed it yesterday when I went over to babysit and I had no clue what it was. Totally freaked myself out looking up skin conditions online. I got the first appointment I could, since his parents are out of town and seemingly incapable of noticing that their own child has a rash, but hey. Uncle Dustin is here Noah Caputo school age sick visit dermatology shadow health transcript .

Question |

Sometimes I miss the bus but if it’s on time, I get breakfast at school and it’s eggs or pancakes or cereal. I get school lunch, too. I like the baked spaghetti days and the sloppy joe days. Sometimes they do ribs and it’s too chewy . . . I mostly make dinner at home, like soup or a box of macaroni and cheese. Sometimes I mess it up, though. On the weekend, I just look for whatever’s in the pantry. I’m good at instant mashed potatoes.

According to the U.S. Federal Child Abuse and Prevention Treatment Act (CAPTA), the definition of abuse and neglect is, at minimum, any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker, which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, or an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm, (Childrens Bureau: An Office of the Administration of Children and Families, 2013). However, it is up to individual states or regions to provide their own definitions of abuse and neglect.
