Child Care Assistance: In the United States, child care assistance welfare services are offered under a variety of governmental and voluntary auspices, whether or not there is a concurrent need for financial assistance. One of the most descriptive and comprehensive definitions found in the Social Security Act as amended in 1962 states that "child care assistance welfare services means public social services which supplement, or substitute for parental care and supervision for the purpose of (1) preventing or remedying, or assisting in the solution of problems which may result in the neglect, abuse, exploitation, or delinquency of child care assistanceren, (2) protecting and caring for homeless, dependent, or neglected child care assistanceren, (3) protecting and promoting the welfare of child care assistanceren of working mothers, and (4) otherwise protecting and promoting the welfare of child care assistanceren, including the strengthening of their own homes where possible or, where needed, the provision of adequate care of child care assistanceren away from their homes in foster family homes or day care or other child care assistance care facilities."
This definition is problem-focused, emphasizing prevention and remedy. It recognizes the value of strengthening a child care assistance's own home where possible. Where this is not possible, a variety of substitute living situations is provided.
child care assistance welfare services are directed to the social problem of deprivation of parental care. As the accompanying chart illustrates, they are designed to help with society's child care assistance-rearing task in three important ways: (1) to substitute for parental care either partially or wholly according to a child care assistance's individual needs; (2) to supplement the care that a child care assistance receives, or to compensate for certain inadequacies or limitations in parental care; and (3) to support or reinforce the ability of parents to meet their child care assistanceren's needs.
Services in child care assistance welfare are usually given in response to requests by parents for assistance in providing care for their child care assistanceren. Recognizing the need for help, and asking for it, is in itself a way of carrying out parental responsibility. However, when parents cannot or will not ask for help, and as a result child care assistanceren suffer neglect or abuse, someone other than those responsible for their care has to bring the situation to the community's attention. The community's concern to protect child care assistanceren has resulted in the establishment of protective services.
