40. One day, the CYC practitioner, Laurie, noticed something moving on Ricardo’s head. When she examined it closely, she thought she saw head lice and nits in his hair, although she did not have much experience with these matters. She called it to the attention of the center’s director, who confirmed that she thought it was lice. The center director told Laurie to inform Ricardo’s grandmother, who usually came to pick him up, that she must get him checked out by the doctor before he came back to the center. Since it was only 45 minutes until the end of the day, the center director said it would be okay to keep Ricardo in class until the grandmother came to pick him up. The Red School House employs two bilingual CYC practitioners, but both were not working on the day that the staff discovered that Ricardo had head lice leaving no one able to communicate this to the grandmother.  What should the center director and Laurie have done about telling someone about the possibility that Ricardo had lice?

Case Study 4 You are a CYC practitioner working with a group of 15- to 17-year-old boys and girls at a summer adventure camp.  The youth are all in state custody and living outside of their homes and have come from many different communities.  All have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect.  Youth from the same communities know one another and have existing relationships.  Most of the group members do not know one another.  You will have the group together for 5 days.  The goal of the program is to support the development of safe risk-taking and exploration of what it means to be ready for adult living responsibilities.  Many of the youth will leave state custody when they turn 18.  Although you don’t know any of the youth well, you are aware that some will probably have learning differences, many will be struggling with self-image issues, and others may be well adjusted and high functioning.
