ADA -- goals and objectives Mental Health and Substance Abuse Parity Act **Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act** **Fair Sentencing Act** **Juvenile Justice Act** **PAIMI** **Practice Question** This case worker responded to the investigation at St. Vincent's Emergency Room. I saw David Clement in the exam room. I observed David's left arm was swollen, bruising to forearm and wrist. I also observed bruising on his left side. David told me he was in a lot of pain until a nurse gave him a shot. I asked David to tell me how he broke his arm. David stated, "I was fooling around with my cousins and fell yesterday." Dr. Sykes stated David's fracture is not consistent with accounts of what happened. Dr. Sykes said that the injury did not happen yesterday. He stated he tried to explain this to the father, and he became defensive and argumentative. The bruising and x-ray indicate the injury is several days old. Dr. Sykes stated he ordered a CT scan to inform next steps for treatment. He stated, "Dad's lack of timely medical attention may mean he cannot be casted now and may require surgery." This worker met with Collin Clement, father, in a hospital consultation room. Mr. Clement stated he and David live with his mother, Louise Clement. He stated his mother is in her 50s and suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure, neuropathy, and circulation issues. He takes her to doctor appointments and to get medications. She is on so many medications that he helps her keep it all straight. Lately, his mom has not been doing well, and a constant stream of family is coming to visit. Mr. Clement says this causes a lot of stress in the house because he doesn't get along with some family members. There have been accusations made that he is taking advantage of his mom financially, and there have been arguments. Mr. Clement stated he lives with his mother because his job doesn't pay enough for him to pay rent and utilities. Mr. Clement said his son is a handful, and he can be hard to manage. He stated, "I have to set him straight time and again." I asked Mr. Clement what he meant by set him straight. He responded, "I have to yell a whole lot and, from time to time, have to get his attention with a whack." He said, "David's grandmother has undermined his child raising. David has learned to manipulate the whole situation." He reports that David "has a bunch of diagnoses" and when questioned stated "oppositional defiance, dyslexia, ADHD... I don't know. Who knows if they're right. He's smart enough to make people feel bad for him and manipulate. He's smart but won't try so he has bad grades. His teachers even gave him one of those IEPs for it." **Identify two federal social policies that protect the rights of David or anyone in his family.** **Identify three policy-driven programs you could refer the family to for services.**
