• as a human services professional, Discuss an area where you might be uncertain about your position in an ethical dilemma with a 13 ywae old client that states she wants to kill herself because of the abuse at home . Be sure to specify the NOHS Ethical Standard in the dilemma. Discuss your ambiguities. How might you manage your professional position ethically?

Assume you are a school counselor and a student of yours discloses that her mother is physically abusing her. She then shows you what appears to be a cigarette burn on her legs and severe bruising on her forearms and neck. She tells you that if her mother ever learned that she told anyone, she would beat her severely. You know that this student is a chronic run-away and you fear two things, first, that if you tell her in advance that you have to report her disclosure to child protective services (CPS), she'll run away. Second, you fear that if you make a hotline call and CPS doesn't take immediate action, or if she recants her statements that her situation at home will deteriorate and she will possibly endure worse abuse. Citing the various ethical issues involved, discuss how you would potentially handle this situation. What are the pros and cons of informing her of your intention to call in advance, or waiting until later?
