[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had similar happen with a younger child which did lead to a CPS visit but nothing came of it. Lesson learned, no more school counselors or other do gooders. 
If the teen is misbehaving and otherwise causing the family trouble, some CPS involvement might be a good thing. Teen learns the lesson, even if they are temporarily removed they get foster care benefits for college (but they won’t be removed because there was no abuse).
All in all, it’s much ado about nothing but don’t use school counselors again. They are inexperienced and are trying to cover their necks at all costs, always over reporting [/quote]

The over-zealous counselors at MCPS don't need your permission. My friend found out that her son was seeing the counselor at Bethesda Elementary regularly without her knowledge. She called the school and was told she would only be informed on an "as needed" basis. I told her son, right in front of her, that if any adult tells you not to tell your parents something then that means they're doing something wrong. Isn't that child safety 101? Shame on MCPS for trying to get a child to keep a secret from parents. The principal at BE at that time was a nut job. I think she's still there and will be until she drops dead.[/quote]

PP you responded to.
What made it worse I was the one who sought help, because an I expected her was acting like my son is majorly misbehaving and I was a first time mom and going thru divorce.

It is horrible that they don’t tell the parents anything. [/quote]
