<DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Can anyone quickly provide some
references on this subject as background to <BR>prepare a brief presentation?
I would greatly appreciate it.
<BR> While I'm thinking about it. Are
there any guidelines or thoughts on <BR>the management of a case where there
is disagreement between a parent and the <BR>medical staff regarding the manor
of feeding a severely congenitally, <BR>neurologically handicapped person.
Our child protection program was recently <BR>consulted on a tragic case
of an 11 year old who was gaining weight at an <BR>unacceptably low rate.
His mother could feed him orally, but the nursing <BR>staff could not.
This is, to me, an ethical quagmire. Should we suggest
<BR>that we have a duty to ask the courts impose a surgically implanted
feeding <BR>device against the will of a parent to achieve some acceptable
standard of <BR>weight gain. On the other hand, what if the parent is
acutely depressed and <BR>is refusing the g-tube out of frustration. I
suggested a ethics comittee <BR>consultation. I suggested that the
child's mother, perhaps, has been <BR>thinking about this a lot longer than
the rest of us. She knows this child <BR>and it would be the height of
arrogance to interfere with her caring of him. <BR>To quote Dennis
Miller "That's just my opinion, I could be wrong"</FONT> </FONT></DIV>

Karen - It's possible some of what you want can be gotten from sources
such as "No Safe Haven: Children of Substance-Abusing Parents" (CASA,
1/99: I don't have their web address handy). Try www.childabuse.org
There is also "Trends in the Well-being of America's Children and Youth,
1999" DHHS (http://aspe.hhs.gov/hsp/99trends/index.htm) Also the NCANDS
data in "Child Maltreatment 1998" (latest one I have) -
http://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cb
Also the National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information is
often my best resource. Try contacting Sandi McLeod there at
mcleods@calib.com
Good luck. Peggy
