Case Study #3
The Contract with Parrish and Son
Issues:
The issues in this case study involve Bob Parrish, an seventh-grade student with defiant behavior as a background; Rebecca Philips, a special education teacher with six years of experience; and Mr. Parrish, Bob’s dad. Besides Bob’s defiant behavior, he has moved schools multiple time due to his mother trying to escape Mr. Parrish and has a history of being placed in a self-contained classroom to receive academic instructions. Bob lives with his grandparents and his dad in an unstructured environment. Mr. Parrish is very inpatient and tries to correct Bob’s behavior through acts of violence. Mr. Parrish want to raise Bob to “be a man”. In addition, he believes that his misbehavior originates from being babied by his mother. He has confessed that he has beaten Bob many times. Although Mr. Parrish is concerned with Bob’s behavior, he has explicitly mentioned

This would have help Rebecca plan many activities ahead of time to make a smoother transition for Bob. Although the limited information was given to Rebecca, she did a good job gathering her information. The knowledge on Bob’s home environment will truly help Rebecca make a behavior intervention plan that will help Bob succeed academically.
Perspectives:
Bob: Bob felt victimized by everyone. He felt that no one understood where he was coming from. In addition, he wanted attention for others and adults, since he has never received any at home.
Mr. Parrish: Mr. Parrish’s perspective was to raise his son to be a man. He wants he son to conduct himself, but he is correcting his behavior by physically beating Bob. Rebecca: Rebecca was trying to construct a positive learning environment for her classroom. She genuinely care for all her students and she wants all of them to have an opportunity to learn.
First, where was Pelzer’s father during this abuse? Pelzer’s dad wasn’t there because he was working and Pelzer never saw him and his mother treated him really different when his dad is there. Pelzer’s dad works every single day and he works morning to night around 3 in the morning. I think that his mother just wants to treat him like that because he did something wrong but otherwise she shouldn’t be beating him every single day.

Richard believes that he was made to be the person he became because of his parents as both continuously beat him his entire childhood. Many neighbourhood children abused and harmed him as well, for many reasons such as being Polish, scrawny and weak. Neither parent ever helped Richard either mentally of physically throughout the time he was bullied. “Richard often wondered why his mother and father didn’t like him, what he had done to deserve their indifference and violence” (p.22). Richard’s mother, Anna would not only verbally assault him, but would also routinely abuse him beginning at a young age, with household items such as broomsticks. She thought of this as stern discipline, which was supposedly required when brought up in a religious upbringing. Richard’s father, Stanley, abused his wife, as well as all three of his sons; one of which died from one of the
Enforceable contract Peter v. Don. Peter will have an enforceable contract with Don if he can show that all the required elements of a contract are present. If there is a contract between the two then it will be governed by the common law requirements of an enforceable contract instead of the Uniformed Commercial Code, which would be used if their agreement had involved the sale of goods. In order for a contract to be formed between Peter and Don the two must react mutual consent Mutual consent can generally be formed through the form of an (A) offer and (B) acceptance. An additional requirement for both parties to show (C) consideration is also
Ever since Wes was a little boy his mother taught him right from wrong. When Wes was three years old he hit his sister which sparked something in his mother. Suffering from abuse by her former husband, she did not want Wes to follow in his footsteps. He was told to go to his room while his parents talked about what should be done. Finally, he heard his father’s steps coming up the stairs. His father, Westley, comforted him telling him, “‘...she just wants you to do the right thing’” (10-11). This
Problems that comes up in this case study appears to child; physical, emotional, mental, verbal and personal abuse, along with environmental factors that created the initial “family secret,” that Dave talks about throughout the book. His parents have their own personal conflicted problems, along with their abused in substances like alcohol. The family social economic status seems to range in the lower class, as Dave’ father occupation was a firefighter and his mother’s occupation is unknown. Physical abuse of children is a nonaccidental injury inflicted on a child (Crosson-Tower, p.180, 2013). Dave’s mother made him sit at the bottom of the stairs with his hands under his bottom, starved and slept with no blanket in the cold basement. His mother’s alcoholic problems made him, his mother’s sole target for frustration and anger, basically as his mother’s punching bag. Neglectful mother were more than likely to used words like shame and sad more than non-neglectful mother during the study (Camilo, Garrido & Calheiros, 2016). Dave’s mother called him “it,” while his

Cedric came along and called Barbara and asked about the boy, which he wants to see him. He wants to be a father to him because he wasn’t the perfect of a fatherhood to the child, so he wants to see him and get to know him as well. Cedric Jr. walked into an ambush when his father, that is a lifelong thief, he determined to teach his new found son a lesson about stealing. “ The boy was made to strip, and the whipping with a thick leather belt was ferocious, halted only when Joyce finally grabbed Gilliam’s arm and screamed for him to stop”( Suskind 34). Cedric is showing his son bad things that he isn’t suppose to see and his son is stopping him from making a huge mistake as well. Cedric now learned about betrayal and misplaced trust, he was picked up from heroin dealing and armed robbery and that made him disappear and end up in jail for 12 to 36 years in

how much of a man he was. After he hit his father, he felt a sense of pride as if he won a prize of some sort. The act was more selfish than selfless being that he was not thanked for it. After the incident, he looks at his sisters for validation for his actions but he has never seen the difference between them or separate the roles of them from their mother. His misogynistic views are passed down from his father and this is due to his immaturity and lack of exposure to the independent world.
Although Jack admits that Susie has left, he shifts his attention to another desire, the desire to bring her death to justice through an unlawful path. “‘We’ve just built a tent,” Mr.Harvey said. ‘The neighbors saw us. We’re friends now’ ‘You know something,” my father said. (57). Jack, like everyone else has flaws and his stubbornness leads him to doing something he would not normally do. His unextinguishable passion to find Susie’s murderer leads him to coincidently believe that Mr.Harvey is Susie’s killer. However Mr.Harvey is the murderer of Susie, the evidence shown to Jack and the police show no evidence that Mr.Harvey committed the murder, which further proves that Jack is chasing a blank slate. Jack needs a scapegoat for his grief and chooses to find revenge in unproven subjects. “‘A father’s suspicion’ she began. ‘Is as powerful as a mother’s intuition” (87) says Jack. Once again Jack is trying to find a reason to make his illogical suspicion logical. Jack refuses to believe that Susie’s death occurred without a killer. He puts himself in denial and by doing so he will grieve forever. Jack’s perpetual grief will go on as long he finds things to place guilt on. Furthermore Sebold shows that rage and denial can be used to deal with the death of a loved one.
