You are a probation officer and have a client, John Smith, who is a registered sex offender. One of the obligations of a probationer is to keep in close contact with his probation officer. This particular probationer failed to do that for a period of 4 months. You later found that John was involved with a woman who has three children, ages 6, 9, and 14. You felt compelled to contact this woman and find out whether she knew why John was on probation. During the conversation, she was appreciative that you had concerns but explained that John told her that he was involved with a 16-year-old, but that the girl had lied to him about her age. She said his conviction was the fault of the girl’s parents, who convinced the daughter to press charges as a way to keep him away from her. She said it was not a big deal because the girl lied to John about her age. You want to tell her about John’s past of being involved with molesting two girls, ages 4 and 7.Analyze this scenario, and discuss the following:What is the most ethical way to handle this situation?What are some unethical decisions one could make in this case?Making sure to uphold ethical and moral values/concepts, what other options do you have in this situation? Apply ethical and moral concepts to your decision-making process in 2–4 paragraphs, and cite all sources in proper APA format.
