Yes.
Stroke of luck: Apparently there was a rash of tire slashings on my entire block. My car was the only one spared. Why? Because going anywhere near my car sets off the motion floodlight outside. *whew*

NCN redeems himself: He TOLD me about the incidents rather than keeping it to himself.

Ethical dilemma: I'll talk it over with the primary therapist and my supervisor tomorrow, but a bit of info from a client of mine leaves me sorta squicky. This kid has a 14 year old older sister (turning 15 in a month). She has a boyfriend. She's told everyone that said BF is 16.

He's 18. No, they aren't in high school together.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'll just tell the primary therapist what this kid told me (14 year old is also a client of my agency). Since, all I know, is that a legal adult is dating a kid under the age of consent. If the therapist knows of any sexual activity, SHE has to report, I don't.

*whew*

Jeez, mack. Give us a chance to help you out first. What's the point of posting an ethical dilemma if you are going to solve it? [Wink]

Oh -- and I wish good karma upon all Jatraquero vehicles. Within four months of me acquiring my first car, it was keyed, and the license plate was stolen twice. And this wasn't a *bad* a neighborhood I was parked in either. Aaaargh.

Now the license plate is bolted on. With serious, heavy duty, flat-headed bolts.

I'm not sure what NCN is. But congrats. Someone slashed my husband's tires on thanksgiving one year. That car had fairly new tires, and our other one needed new, so we were like kicking ourselves, sort of. Insurance paid for the slashed tires, and we still had to buy new for the other car.

On the ethical dilemma, I think you're right insofar as you don't know they've had sex. Do you know the girl knows the BF's real age? Just a thought.

P.S. Maybe the BF doesn't know what might happen to him as a result of what he appears to be doing.
