Question

You are counseling an adolescent female (age 14) who was initially referred to you for behavioral problems at home. Her parents say she sneaks out sometimes, experiments with 'soft' drugs and alcohol, and they catch her in lies. You have been working with her for some time when she discloses to you she is instant and text messaging with a man she knows is 29. She says they have met at Burger King once and now he wants to date her. She tells you she had to meet him without her parents knowing and she plans to meet up with him again. How do you handle this and why? Do you see harms here? If so, which ones? If not, why not? What possible repercussions are there for you? For the client? How will you feel afterwards?
