Team 6: Child and Conflict

Description

In this scenario, we encounter Eimear, a quiet and polite 10-year-old girl diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in her teacher's office after the teacher finds suspicious bruising on Eimear. With Eimear was her older sister, Jennifer, who is 17-years-old. Eimear requested that she have her sister there as a form of support. After some questioning, Eimear and Jennifer shared with the teacher that they have lived with consistent violence from their parents since they were children. With this, the teacher informed the principal, and with direction, the principal stated to take a detailed history of the situation and that they will need to report it to CAS.
