assignment 6
I would use the money to go towards tertiary prevention. I know that sometimes that this can one can be to late but its the one of the preventions that gets looked over a lot. The money would help foster care and family support. The foster care system isn't the best in some places and it would help make it better for the kids that need it. It also helps with the hospitalization. Which needs to be good to help save the kids lives when they come in. It might also give the people dealing with the these programs more information or classes to help make the better for the job. I know many people probably think that the primary is more important but we can't always stop it from happening. The lucky ones get help before anything bad happens but the ones who don't get help need help the most when the abuse starts or the parents leave the baby. They need more help then ever at this point in time.

I believe you gave the best argument possible for your money going to tertiary prevention programs, and it is clear your heart is in the right place. And while I still feel I would give to primary I respect your opinion. However, I wanted to ask, you said the kids who are starting to be abused need the help more than anyone, but what about the kids who will end up in the same boat if we don’t try to prevent it. Don’t they need the help just as much?
I agree that foster care needs to be improved. In some ways that is part of primary prevention as well since maltreatment (not necessarily physical) often occurs in those homes too.
I don't necessarily agree with your choir of tertiary prevention, but you have a very good argument that makes me think about things. goodjob.
You have made a great argument about money going to tertiary prevention programs. Its hard to pick just program cause its all needed but after reading your blog it made me really think. And i do believe that the kids who are being abused need more help but I think that if you start before the problem becomes you would have less children being abused....its just a thought!
