Children will only allow a stranger in if they are scared of someone, have trust, or they know you well. This can serve as a difficult situation when a child is the victim of abuse or neglect and the outcome can lead to a negative outcome for the future of the child’s lifespan.

Turning Points for Children (TPFC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social service agency that services children and families throughout the city of Philadelphia. Through providing a variety of services and programs, they envision a thriving community for all (www.turningpointsforchildren.org, 2016).

They can talk through their problems, and make connections with other parents who are going through similar circumstances. Furthermore, they will have resources to take home with them that will allow them to succeed without the help of a teacher.

Dad. Mandy. Blended family. My dad, Eric, had been at Kniman Bar after his day shift up at BP where he met a woman named Mandy, who had been working there.
