[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I posted earlier that he wasn't treating the daughter but I reread the complaint and he absolutely was.  he did a formal evaluation of her and made educational recommendations based on that evaluation.  He received other confidential reports about the girl because of his role.  And the school arranged the professional relationship by circulating his name as someone available for counseling (for another reason, but it was that list that prompted the Mom to arrange the formal evaluation).

Not only that but arguably his recommendation that the girl wasn't being served because she was soooo bright was an attempt to ingratiate himself with the mom.  So right there his professional responsibilities have been compromised. Add to that the fact that his patient is a young child and so having an overt sexual relationship with her mom absolutely violates the boundaries of their professional relationship.

This is not just two consenting adults.  If these allegations are true, both the psychologist and the school are in serious trouble.  I think I was blinded by the poor behavior of the girls' parents but stepping back, this is really bad and not just a relationship between consenting adults.[/quote]
