Hi everyone,

I'm hoping you can help me out. I am currently taking law and ethics and have to do a case analysis. The case involves a high school student who has expressed suicidal ideation. The counselor contacted the mother who claimed the daughter was a drama queen. The student came again with another threat, counselor again notified mother who said she would do something but didn't. A third threat was made but counselor is unsure if she should contact mom again based on her previous response but wants to wait until a 4th threat is made. What is the dilemma in this situation and does it involve ethics vs beneficence or something else (what are the competing dilemmas?) Thanks!
