Introduction
This report has been prepared as requested by Berry Starr, a solicitor with the Glenaurie
Community Legal Service with the intention of elaborating the social situation of the family of Jen,
the defendant in this criminal matter. The report has been prepared by a social worker with four
years of experience working with the Marigold Community Centre. Marigold Community Centre
specializes in family matters such as handling children neglected by their families, social problems
families undergo and other matters that arise during sessions with our service users. I have been
working with Jen for the past three years and have a unique understanding of her situation arising
from the highly engaging sessions we have been having together. Jen Johnson is 20 years old and is
married to Mick Johnson who is 24 years old. Their union has been blessed with two daughters;
Hannah, who is 3 years old and Bessie, 2 years of age. Hannah is a delightful child who is active,
alert and very talkative. She looks forward to joining school very soon and has already began
practicing how to read. However, Bessie is on the autism spectrum. She screams a lot as she finds
external stimulation very traumatic ("Center for Autism Research", 2016). She requires special care
and her mother, Jess, is one of the very few people who are patient with her. Bessie requires regular
fortnightly early intervention therapy appointments at Westmead Children’s Hospital (Pang, 2020.).
