You have been working with the Moss family as a court-ordered in-home parent aide for three months. You have watched the mother work hard trying to balance work, alcohol treatment, and caring for her three children. On your most recent visit, Ms. Moss asked you to join her and some friends and family for dinner Friday night to celebrate her promotion.

 Students whose last names end with the letters M through Z will argue why attending the dinner is an ethical line they should not cross. Explain what sections of the code they may be at risk in violating. Explain how you would decline the invitation. How might your decision impact your professional relationship with the family? What actions steps should you take in your decision making process?
