During the 1990s, Samara Brothers, Inc. designed and manufactured children’s clothing that was sold in department stores. The clothes made by Samara Bros. consisted of one-piece outfits that were made of seer-sucker fabric with large appliques in a variety of decorative themes for girls and boys. Around the same time, Walmart Inc. hired a clothing manufacturing company to create a line of children’s clothing based on the current line from Samara Bros. Walmart Inc. named their copied line of clothing “Small Steps” and successfully sold it at a lower cost in their national chain of stores making millions in profits. Once Samara Brothers, Inc. learned of the copied garments, they sent numerous letters to Walmart, Inc. to stop the sale and production of the materials they believed they had the right to defend under trade dress laws. When Walmart, Inc. still continued to sell the copied garments, Samara Brothers, Inc. took Walmart, Inc. to court.

Because Haleigh didn’t return home, Cynthia reported her as a runaway. Per Haleigh, a month ago, her mother left a bruise on her upper arm. She was hit with a hand. Per Haleigh, Cynthia thought Haleigh had an attitude. Per Haleigh, her friend Aaliyah is a witness to the abuse. Per Cynthia, Aaliyah isn’t allowed at the home, so Aaliyah being a witness to the abuse isn’t true.

Per mother, Haleigh has been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and bipolar. Haleigh takes medication Zoloft, Vyvanse, and Lamotrigine.

When a student shows signs of suicidal ideation or thoughts of harming others, the ASCA Ethical Standard provides guidance for Professional School Counselors concerning the mitigation of this situation. The ASCA Ethical Standards state that when students express harm to self or others, parents or legal guardians, and/or authorities must be notified (ASCA, 2016).

Counselors are not permitted to release a student who is considered at risk until support personal is present (ASCA, 2016). All federal, state,
While taking data, I have worked with this child to increase behaviors with reinforcement, teach new skills, and to reduce interfering behaviors, which can include self-injury. During the past year, I completed an online suicide talk session, which explores suicide prevention as well as becoming a Certified Mental Health First Aider. I also became a suicide and crisis line volunteer, giving emotional support for individuals experiencing emotional or situational distress, various forms of mental illness and in need of general information or referrals. The callers varied from transgender individuals to youth to other ethnic minority groups. I learned to not minimize grief or experiences because everyone is entitled to their feelings and every individual grieves and experiences trauma in various
