"If on the other hand, I was told something after the proceedings that was a breach of that confidentiality, if I divulged it to you, then I would be providing evidence of that misdemeanor and implicating the person who told me."

Yes. So why bring it up at all. This whole business is getting smellier and smellier. The only persons who would be committing a misdemeanor in this case would be the therapist or an attorney involved in this case.

If that is so, then they had no business divulging such information to you in the first place.

Sorry, but this whole thing is looking pretty iffy to me. It has heightened my suspicions that there's some questionable "therapy" going on with this child. You should be aware that some of this "therapy" is quite dangerous to the health of the child, and that it has resulted in death in a number of cases.

I urge you, if you know of such things going on, to report it to the CPS. If you do not know about such things, then that's fine. But there's far too much secrecy around this whole thing.

This is not a home-schooling issue. It is something else.

Or (unless I am mistaken), the parent.

I do not know if such things are going on or to what degree. The parents report that his condition has markedly improved in the last year. I will be asking for specifics.

As I understand the case, the parents have not refused to allow CPS to interview the child. They have refused to allow CPS to interview the child without consulting them first.
