Trick-or-treating activities planned for Monday, October 31, 2016
The Sheriff is reminding residents to follow these Halloween safety tips:
Criminal Domestic Violence
As the name suggests, this type of criminal trespassing involves a party entering or trespassing on the property of a former spouse or domestic partner where he or she is no longer welcome and refuses to vacate the property.
A person cannot simply claim trespassing; he or she must demonstrate this under state law (N.C.G.S. §14-134.3) by:
Trespassing and Public Buildings
Likely to assume that public buildings “belong” to the public. , therefore do not enter this property. However, it is possible to enter public property or a public building as these places are not always open to the public. Public buildings do not belong to individual citizens.
Businesses such as grocery or retail stores and restaurants that now require you to wear a face mask while open to the public are not considered public property. You must abide by their rules and regulations while on the property. If you don’t, you may be asked to leave the house or, if the authorities are called, you could be charged with trespassing.
What safeguards are included in Title IX?
Title IX is part of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, which protects students from sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding. Compliance with Title IX is the responsibility of the US Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the agency enforcing this change. OCR assesses, investigates and responds to complaints made to universities and other educational institutions about gender discrimination.
What is a custody report?
Conducted by a psychologist, CCE results in a written report that is submitted to the court. The assessing psychologist will then testify as an expert witness in the custody proceedings. The exact details vary depending on what the court is appointing the expert for. But the assessor usually does psychological testing, a personality test called the MMPI-2, on each parent or guardian. The test results identify each parent’s strengths and weaknesses. The assessor typically reviews family members’ medical and mental health records, meets with family members separately and together for interviewing and observation, and communicates with third parties, such as teachers or third parties living in the household. The appraiser can even make a home visit to each parent. Based on all of this, the CCE report will make recommendations as to what is best for the child or children.
The CCE report usually gives the judge an idea of what the child really needs and explains each parent’s parenting style. To simplify with an example, when a child suffers from anxiety, they may need a very structured routine, and one parent may be more determined than the other. There is usually a list of these types of conclusions, followed by recommendations, which almost always involve mental health treatment. This treatment must be referred to a professional third party as the evaluating psychologist is only employed for judicial purposes and is prohibited from treating any of the family members. Another recommendation might be that the court appoint a parenting coordinator with authority to make minor decisions when parents dispute what the custody order requires of them. Otherwise, recommendations are based on the disputes and needs of each family. This may include the frequency of phone calls to each parent or who is best placed to make medical decisions when the child has serious medical problems.
