Introduction
Tracey was brought under the care of the welfare of the state while she was only 2 years old and since then she has been habitual of experiencing the negligence of care. Until 12 years old she had close relationships with her foster mother. When her foster parents Judy and Des legally separated, she was shifted to another foster care home welfare. Just between the age of 12 to 16, she had to shift around 5 foster care homes. All this disturbed her emotional stability and was angry throughout her teenage.
There are several needs which can be identified with Tracy. For example:
· The divorced relationship between her foster parents Judy and Des;
· Unavailability of any close friendship to assist her through emotional imbalance;
· Tracy has been a victim of sexual assault multiple times by the age of 16 years;
· Tracy dropped her schooling at the age of 14; and
· Tracy is unemployed and pregnant.
1. Tracey's experience
Tracey has experienced sexual assault since her sensitive teenage of 14 years multiple times. It has been a completely devastating experience for her body functioning at the age of puberty. The hormonal imbalances during this age affect the physiological, physical as well as psychological functions of the human body. Tracy is brought up in an insecure vulnerable environment which exposed her to many unaccepted circumstances at an early age of life (Peterson,2014).
Due to her mother’s alcoholic partner, she could not live with her mother and was expelled out of the house. Tracy knew nothing about his real dad, except his name Sid. And his father was shot through when Tracy was an infant of 12 months old. To attain emotional support, Tracy also had cultivated an attitude of getting multiple sexes just like her mother, just at the age of 16. She also takes cigarettes and alcohol and continues to take them during her pregnancy. She had casual sex with multiple people so, she was not aware of who is the father of her baby. She predicts him to be Johnny’s baby at an instance. Johnny is 19-year-old unemployed man who used to live in care along with Tracy. At such an early age, Tracy has experienced multiple instances of sexual assault and has got habitual of taking contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy. But when she comes to know about her pregnancy, she is happy and want to have a baby girl child but does not want her future to be like that of Tracy’s beginning.
2. The role of community, institutions, and family
Though Tracy has been taken to many foster care welfare centers but they are not well equipped and sufficient enough to provide her safe and protected childhood. They could not provide her effective guardianship to deal with multiple sexual assaults. Narrative theory can assist Tracy in creating other better realistic incidents that could vanish off her previous negativity of negligent childhood....
