Case Study #3 by James Falco https://padlet.com/jfalco15/mnh70h2frnuj Betrayal of Trust vs. Legal Responsibility en-us 2017-02-25 13:06:50 UTC 2017-05-17 04:31:12 UTC hello@padlet.com Approach #1 is the better of the two approaches, but is far from perfect. Problems with Approach #1 include leaving Abby with the secretary. A "student in crisis" should only be passed along to a guidance counselor or administrator and the "handoff" must be done in person. Until the student is passed on to a guidance counselor/administrator, Mrs. Smith is legally responsible for that student. https://padlet.com/jfalco15/mnh70h2frnuj/wish/156188086 The principal is responsible, but only when contact is made. A text message isn't sufficient because it's receipt is not guaranteed; unlike a completed phone call.
If Mrs. Smith leaves and a tragedy occurs]]> 2017-02-25 14:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jfalco15/mnh70h2frnuj/wish/156188086 Approach 1 is the better of the two, but is still missing some important actions on Mrs. Smith's part. She should have cancelled her appointment and taken the time to call DCP & P right away. It was not right to just text the Principal the information and leave because that will further confuse the chain of information. After calling DCP & P than she should call her principal and speak directly with him. Though they are family friends, the legal actions trump that. alyssamcaporaso https://padlet.com/jfalco15/mnh70h2frnuj/wish/156188137 2017-02-25 14:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jfalco15/mnh70h2frnuj/wish/156188137 Approach 1 jkirchnerlongterm https://padlet.com/jfalco15/mnh70h2frnuj/wish/156188513 Although both approaches don't give a clear cut "right" answer, the first seems to be more legally responsible. As the case study's title explains, "Betrayal of Trust vs. Legal Responsibility" when it all boils down to it legal responsibility has to take priority.  ]]> 2017-02-25 14:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jfalco15/mnh70h2frnuj/wish/156188513 Approach 2 https://padlet.com/jfalco15/mnh70h2frnuj/wish/156188540 We felt that while both approaches are terrible choices and will leave Mrs. Smith in a troubling situation, approach 2 may have been the better option since she has a personal rapport with Abby. She really should have stopped what she was doing and place the proper report  however, because she has a personal relationship with Abby, we said she thought it would have been more acceptable to take her to a place of safety on her own. If she would have left her in the school, she could have been left to go home and be placed in danger. Either approach leaves Mrs. Smith fully responsible for not following protocol and is liable for legal ramifications.]]> 2017-02-25 14:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jfalco15/mnh70h2frnuj/wish/156188540
