At least she didn't bring you Ding Dongs.

Now that would've been kinky.

The population we serve are ages 6-22, the particular child in questions is between 10-12. It’s important to note that these children are“dual-diagnosed” - which implies an intellectual disability in addition to mental health related diagnoses.

I do not know her well, she was hired in January. She has experience in the field, and previously worked with non-verbal children on the autism spectrum. She is in her mid-20s, but in many ways seems immature for her age. She has an astounding lack of common sense and demonstrates inappropriate boundaries often. I have brought my concerns to my superiors from the start. Many things that stood out as red flags to me were thought to be trainable, but now I’m not even confident in her ability to understand her role in this job.

Even when I was a preschool teacher it’s a known, unwritten rule of sorts that every interaction you have with a child shapes their understanding of the world and their place in it - when you as a trusted adult in the kid’s life asks them something like “can you keep a secret” you are demonstrating that it would be ordinary for other adults the child interacts with to do the same thing. I don’t think I have to spell out why that is problematic.


I’m not concerned with there being a risk of abuse in that form, moreso what is being indirectly taught to these children as appropriate behavior to expect from adults. Her lack of boundaries with our older population is problematic as well, giving the clients her personal cell phone number and carrying on text conversation even when she’s not on shift, for example. Recently one client in my house (15-22 year olds) expressed an interest in learning to rap. The coworker in question printed him the lyrics for Superman by Eminem so he could practice. That song would not even be allowed to be played out loud in the house - of all the songs he could learn she suggested that one??? Like wtaf.

Nothing more came from that interaction I observed other than the kid getting candy when they aren’t even supposed to have sugar because of their elevated behaviors relating to sugar consumption. That’s a known thing agency-wide. It was notable to me that she waited for the child’s staff to be out of the room before offering the candy (it’s common for staff and clients to visit our house from other houses as it’s also where the main office and kitchen service is located). I did not confront her in the moment, just clocked it and added it to my long list of concerns in her regard that I intend to bring to the director.


Extremely likely. I doubt it was at all nefarious, but is it illustrative of her lack of judgment and poor personal boundaries. Like I said above, there was some sneakiness to it. Bolded is exactly why this shouldn’t be something that even needs to be said - I can’t think of a single other staff member who would not be weirded out by this at best. And like I replied to TH, it’s all about what is being taught to these kids as normal adult behavior. And that ain’t it.


She gives off “fun babysitter” vibes, and prioritizes winning the favor of our clients over operating as a staff member with a responsibility to our client’s mental and physical well-being. With our older guys, when I have confronted her about inappropriate behaviors she’ll throw any one of them under the bus without a second thought in order to make herself look better or like a hapless victim.

Yep, but see above for more context. It’s such a gut feeling of “ick.”
Mid 20s. Not necessarily a creep but certainly a fucking idiot. I drafted four pages of complaints about her that I’ll be taking to my supervisor and director next week. At this point, as I’ve expressed in my write-up, I spend most of my time and energy trying to anticipate her next fuck-up so I can get ahead of the damage control I’m constantly having to do. It doesn’t help that my supervisor has been on vacation and I’m the lead staff left to run the ship, yet I’m being paid the same rate as this dumb cunt. Will post the full complaint if interested lol. This is how I practice my writing skills these days.

Yeah texting older kids off hours even if nothing weird is going on sounds like a serious boundary violation that can go wrong in any number of ways. Even just from her perspective that sounds like an excellent way to get unsolicited dick pics.
