Sally was recently hired as a caseworker with a local organization that provides services to disadvantaged teenagers. Sally has become especially close to a 15-year-old girl who is pregnant. She says that the girl reminds her of what she was like at that age. She spends more time than a worker usually would with this client. Sally says that the other day when she was a garage sale, she saw some cute baby closes that were inexpensive, so she purchased them for the client.
You are Sally’s coworker and you are concerned about her attachment to this client. You have discussed this issue with your supervisor who says, “Well, that’s just Sally. You know how she is.” Later that evening you visit a local club and see your supervisor there. She is on a date with one of the other caseworkers. You also see Sally there. You are a competent human services worker who is familiar with ethical boundaries and violations. Something needs to be done
In a two-page APA formatted paper address the following:
- Identify the ethical issues and boundary violations in this scenario.
- Propose solutions to resolve these violations including an ethical response to the client.
- List potential persons or governing entities whom you could notify of the violations.
