Clinton News-Record, 1977-04-21, Page 13Ontario Street UCW
has new foster child
•
The executive meeting of
Ontario Street UCW was held
last Tuesday, April 12.
President, YMrs. Cecil Elliott
opened the meeting with a
poem, "Seeds of Goodness".
The message was to plant
seeds of goodness and
goodness you will receive.
Mrs. Lawrence Lewis read
the minutes of the March
meeting and • the
correspondence.
A letter from the Hospital
Auxiliary reminded them
that Hospital Day is May 11
and all are invited to visit the
Hospital from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
on this day. Remember the
date and if possible make this
• tour of the hospital to show
how everyone appreciates the
Clinton Hospital.
The UCW's Foster Child is
now being cared for from
Within Brazil and so they
have a new Foster Child, a
girl of Portuguese descent,
living in Brazil. It was
decided to contact Mr.
Whilsmith and if possible,
have him speak at one of their
meetings and explain the
Foster Child Plan'to us.
Material about. the Church
and Society was read and
three areas, drug and alcohol
abuse, the new price coding
and nursing home visits were
discussed. A donation of $10
will be sent to help counter
drug and alcohol advertising.
The new price coding,
where the price is only on the
shelf, not on the article
purchased, they are against.
Everyone was asked to send a
letter to their member -of
Parliament and to the
following address, no stamp
required, against price
• coding: minister of consumer
and corporate affairs: 23
Floor, Place du Portage;
Ottawa -Hull K IA 0C9
It was suggested that the
area churches could ' visit
nursing homes, and theirs
would be Huronview, on a one
to one basis. A volunteer from
the church would have one
resident of the Home to visit
on a regular basis. This would
be along the line of the Big
Brother Program, except
each would be helping - an
older person, who is lonely
and needs someone drop in
for a cheerful visit.
Ontaric Street Church has
been a ked to Host the
Regional meeting in October,
and the session is planning
another in September and the
UCW will help with food, etc.
Plans for Bazaar Festival
will be discussed at the May

CAS keeps eye on county's children
BY JEFF SEI)I)ON
The Huron County
Children's Aid Society, in an
effort to better cope with the
problem of child abuse, is
making an effort to deter-
mine what exactly child
abuse or neglect is and -what
can be done to prevent more
of it.
John Penn, a CAS worker,
said a special committee had
been set up to establish policy
and procedural guidelines for
child abuse cases and had
finishedrough draft for the
policy. Penn said the draft
was a long way from
becoming actual policy but
explained that it did help CAS
workers define child abuse.
A child hes the right to
certain values and these are
described in CAS documents
"every child, despite his
individual differences and
uniqueness, is to be con-
sidered of equal intrinsic
worth, and hence should be
entitled to equal social,
economic, civil and political
right, so he may fully realize
his inherent potential and
share equally in life, liberty
and happiness.
By definition in CAS
documents any act of com-
mission or omission by, in-
dividuals, institutions or
society as a whole and any
conditions resulting from
such acts or inaction which
&pri' i' children of equal
rights and liberties and or
interfere with their optimal
development, constitutes, by
definition, abusive neglectful
acts or conditions.
The main thrust of the CAS
policy guideline is to point out
that while some cases of
child abuse are obvious by
physical conditions of
children other cases where
neglect is .concerned are not
so easy to spot. Beating.
wounding, burning,
poisoning, failure to thrive,
bruising, bleeding, externally
and internally, effects of
drugs where they can't be
explained satisfactorily by
either the child or the parent
are listed as obvious cases
where child abuse is suspect.
Emotional neglect,
parental deprivation and in
some cases sexual abuse are
the situations where more
care must be taken to
establish just cause for any
investigations, and are also
tougher cases for a children's •
aid worker or a doctor or
teacher to spot and identify.
A dozen examples of
characteristics of abused
children offer some boun-
daries for CAS workers and
other professional people to
work within.
The list describes the child
who exhibits no reaction and
appears out of touch with
Someone apparently didn't like the idea of making a stop
when driving along Shipley Street at the corner of Huron
Street. The "Stop" sign, which was on the west side. of
Shipley, was removed and placed up against a tree at 152`"
Huron Street.. It faced cars going east on Huron but didn't
slow up traffic on the main highway between Clinton and
Goderich. (News -Record photo)

reality, the child who cries
hopelessly under treatment
or examination, the child who
cries very little, children who
don't look to their parents for
assurance, children who show
no expectation of '5eing
comforted, children who are
apprehensive when other
children cry and watch them
curiously, children who are
apprehensive when adults
approach a crying child,
children who seem more
afraid or less afraid than
other children when admitted
to care, children who are
always asking or wondering
what will happen next,
children who are constantly
in search of something (food,
favors, things, services) or
children who show little
emotion re mention of going
home or show a strong ad-
verse reaction to the mention
of going home.
While situations listed may
provide some insight into
suspected child abuse when
the circumstances are
discovered they are not by
themselves indications of
abuse. One instance
discovered from the list is not
enough to warrant an in-
vestigation by a CAS worker
but repeated situations
similar situations or cases
where more than one is
discovered may warrant an
investigation.
Penn said that the CAS is
now embarking on a public
education program aimed at
the prevention of child abuse
and at better systems of
detecting and reporting abuse
cases. He said in cases where
abuse is a problem the parent
and the child are sought out
for help which is a problem
for many CAS workers
because of the connotation
given them that they are
coming to take the children
out of the home.
The workers usually visit
the homes of children
suspected of abuse and
question the parents or
guardians on specific cir-
cumstances. They make as
many visits as they feel
necessary to gauge the en-
vironment of the home and
present their findings to a
committee of fellow workers.
The workers weigh the in-
formation and decide
whether the child and parent
would be better off together
or separated..
.While the CAS is making
every effort to deal with child
.abuse situations in a manner
that encourages and cultures

intact and undisturbed it is
aware that no case where
child abuse Is suspected can
he taken lightly since it may

situation for the child.
