SITUATION: 

 

2. As a social worker and a devout Catholic, Amelia makes an attempt to integrate into her
practice the teaching of her religion. One day, she was told to travel to the station to mediate
a gay couple, Rico and Ben apparently, a jealous and drunk Rico turned violent on Ben once
he saw him being friendly with a reasonably neighbor. Ben refused to file a case against his
partner. He insisted that it absolutely was his fault for not considering the emotions of an
already depressed Rico, who was simply laid off from his job. If you were Amelia, what would
you tell the couple? Defend.
