Mrs. Nancy Cannon telephoned from her place of work (the Capital Insurance Company—phone 234-6213). She sounded concerned. She said that on the previous Saturday night, her 14-year-old daughter Amy had come home after her 9:00 P.M. curfew, smelling of alcohol. She says that she “grounded” her daughter but now wants to talk with a social worker about the situation. Mrs. Cannon requested a personal appointment with the social worker, indicating that she wanted to sort things out with someone before she dealt further with her daughter. Mrs. C. reported that this was the first such incident. She said, “I’ve never had any trouble whatsoever from Amy. She’s been a wonderful child.” She stated that she had not sought professional help before and that this was her first contact with any social service or mental health agency. She indicated that her husband, Amy’s father, had recently filed for divorce and had left the home approximately six weeks ago. Mrs. C. wondered whether that might be connected with Amy’s misbehavior over the weekend. Disposition: An appointment was scheduled with an agency social worker for tomorrow at 12:00 noon. Mrs. C. requested a lunch-hour appointment, if at all possible, to reduce the amount of time away from her job.
