You are a child care investigator for a middle school. A case has been referred to you by a guidance counselor. It seems that a young 13- year old girl, Emily, has been arriving at school in a dazed and listless condition. She has a hard time concentrating in class and appears to be withdrawn and uncommunicative. Some of Emily’s peers alleged that Emily had shoplifted candy from the cafeteria. Other complaints arose that Emily steals school bags from school lockers and when confronted, she pushes the other children and begins to fight. Upon further investigation, Emily has missed more than her normal share of school days and has often been late to class. Last week, she seemed so lethargic that her homeroom teacher sent her to the school nurse. A physical examination revealed that she was malnourished and was punished by her parents for doing poorly at school and failing to do her chores at home. The case is referred to you. When you go to see the parents at home, they refuse to answer any questions. What are your Initial thoughts and reactions? Would you report the case to the district attorney office for further action? Assuming the district attorney prosecutes, and the parents have no previous criminal records and are now willing to cooperate, how far do you believe the state will take this case through the process of state intervention? Can any theories apply to Emily’s delinquency at school? Chapter 3*** & no citations.
