Abstract

A student tells a high school guidance counselor that one of her friends has posted alarming comments on Facebook. The school accesses the Facebook profile and discovers that her peer wrote, “I hate my life. I wish everyone at school would just drop dead.” The Facebook profile belongs to a student who is currently in the 10th grade and has an individual education plan (IEP) for a diagnosis of social communication disorder. The school is concerned that the student could be a danger to himself and possibly to his peers. They consult a child psychiatrist about whether or not he is “safe to return to school.”
