Introduction

According to the case report, it is obvious that the child need protective. This can be attributed to the psychological and mental attitudes of the mother. The parents’ profile has revealed that the daughter is at risk of child abuse and neglect. Suspected child abuse and neglect should be treated in a timely manner to protect the child from suffering at the hands of the parent. In this respect, the child should be offered a coordinated and multi-agency attention to enable a statutory intervention to safeguard the interests of the child and protect her from suspected abuse and neglect. In this respect, the case should be afforded timely information sharing between core members of the children protection agency.

SA-45 Interpretation

As the SA-45 assessment results indicate, the parent has depression, anxiety, phobic anxiety, and somatization. This means that the parents needs help to cope with her psychological issues which could have major ramifications with her ability to create meaningful relationships with her daughter and other members of the society.

Ethical Guidelines

The ethical application relates to the fact that when the child protection agencies are working towards ensuring the safety of the child, they should not victimize the parent. The treatment that is offered to the parent should not overly focus on child at the cost of the parent. The parent should also be afforded all the ethical aspect of the psychologists including performing a treatment that will be beneficial to the parent and child, the right to privacy, and ensuring that the resultant treatment does not harm either the parent or the child.

Treatment

The parent should be afforded the treatment that will help with her with ensuring that she does not abuse drugs and also socializing skills. This will be critical in ensuring that all the parties in the case are afforded the right treatment that will help in their relationship. Although the child may need to be placed in child protection, with the right treatment, the child and mother can be reunited. However, it is important for the parent to be treated in order to get rid of her drug abuse behavior and to be capable of creating meaningful relationships.

Recommendations

In the same respect, the multi-agencies that are working for case should also plan and coordinate actions that are geared towards assessing and response to the protection needs of the child. This includes identifying the fact that the child needs guidance to cope with her traumatic past at the hands of her mother. It is important to note that the child has been through various hardships owing to the fact that her mother is a drug addict who has some mental challenges. It is also imperative to note that the mother being jobless can adequately cater for the child’s developmental requirements such as education and support services.

It is important for the case to be offered a holistic and culturally responsive assessment to ensure that the child gets the needed protection as soon as possible. Delays in meeting the protection needs could lead to further damages to the child. It has already been reported that she had once run away from home due to the treatment that she received from her mother. In this respect, the child has revealed that she does not have trust with her mother.

The mother also needs help because her history has been marred with substance abuse. There are various parts of her history that has shown that she has had even criminal history which can be attributed to her drug addiction. In this respect, it is imperative for her to be offered psychiatric services in order to reform her to become a responsible citizen and parent. This may help protect her child from the neglect that she has been suffering from. It is also imperative for the parent and child to go to joint counseling services to create a good relationship between them.
