Marion County Juvenile Probation calls for a potential ESC placement for a 16-year-old male that has recently self-harmed, has a history of elopement, and would require 1:1 staffing. Should you accept placement of this youth, why or why not?
Cary Home does not support placement of a youth that requires 1:1 staffing. Additionally, with concerns of active self-harming behaviors, we would not be an appropriate placement for this youth.
