dc.description.abstract |
An increase of substance abuse and addiction is sweeping the nation. As a result
of this abuse / addiction, children are being abused and neglected. Children are entering
foster care at an alarming rate resulting in broken homes and families that were once
intact. According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA), the
number of abused and neglected children has increased from 1.4 million to three million.
This research addressed the consequences to children who live in homes where their
parent(s) abuse drugs or alcohol. The study was qualitative and quantitative in nature.
Closed case files from Mahoning County Children Services in Ohio were reviewed and
analyzed. Information was discussed only in the aggregate form to protect the identity of
the child and his/her family. The hypothesis derived for this study, after extensive
literature review, was that parental substance abuse impacts children negatively in that it
contributes to conduct disorders and juvenile delinquency. This study also focuses on
whether or not abused and neglected children are angry, antisocial, physically aggressive
and possibly violent. Results from the study of case files, dealing with abused and
neglected children, revealed that children exhibited poor school attendance, destructive
behavior, and physical aggression if their parent(s) are substance abusers. |
