I stand by my actions and make no apologies. I believe I did the ethical thing by discussing this with my supervisor and leaving it up to her to decide what action to take. You seem to picture me as some manic overinvolved super-controlling basket case. Where do you get off implying that I "created" this situation? Did you even read the post? Apparently not, since many of your opinions are based on what appear to be figments of your imagination. Where do you get the idea that I created this? Oh, yeah, I was watching "Cops" on my television and I mental telepathied my neighbors to come out of their house and recreate one of the COps scenes in my back yard. Where do you get the idea that I'm interfering with the courts? All I did was call his probation officer and get what is public information. In no way did I tell them what to do in terms of his case. And, yes, he is court-ordered for treatment, which means he has to pay out of pocket no matter where he goes. Being that this is a small community, it's not unheard of for us to send prospective clients to another agency if we think this person may be hostile to a staff member. God forbid he should have to pay for his attitude and actions towards me by having to drive 20 miles out of his way. But, of course, you think I also caused him to drive drunk that afternoon. Yes, I created all this. Oh, it cost me a FEW BUCKS, but IT WAS WORTH IT as I don't have enough DRAMA in my life. So you think I should treat this jerk with kid gloves and cowtow to avoid his trigger-hair temper because he "might come back and haunt me??" Am I supposed to just let this pass and "not interfere" for fear of violating his rights? Where do you read that I am "treating him like a piece of trash?" I reserve the right to THINK that he is, and I"m not ethically bound by my profession not to do so. this will be my last comment on this angle of my thread. I'm puzzled as to how this got so far off track in the first place.
