The Jones family has been facing problems. Mr. Jones lost his job and has been unable to find another one. The job loss has caused his family to lose their health Insurance coverage. Mrs. Jones is working double shifts at her job to pay their bills, but they have still fallen
behind. The Joneses have three small children and live far away from family members. They only recently moved to the area and have
not made many friends. Mr. Jones finds it difficult to search for a job while also taking care of their children. One night, after he had
been drinking alcohol, Mr. Jones yelled at the children and lost his temper. A neighbor overheard him and called Child Welfare Services
to let them know of his/her concern.
