what would you do if your child says one thing in front of counseling and another in front of case manager?

Get the two of them together to talk to the child and discuss why conflicting stories are being told.

First of all I think it is apparant that this child is dealing with some serious issues. You don't mention the age of the child or the reason behind counseling and case management. How do you know that this is the case? Are you present, or are you questioning the child after the sessions? If you are involved in the session then why are you not pointing out the problem? Either way I think that you should consider the reason behind the counseling and let the professionals do their jobs.Maybe you should look into finding a counselor of your own and present this question to him/her.

Hook the little punk up to a car battery and.... um.. eh.. never mind...

You should point out the discrepancy to the case manager, and ask him to talk to the therapist. I am sure that the case manager realizes that the child could be misrepresenting what was said in counseling.

You would probably have to sign a HIPPA waiver but i am guessing that won't be an issue for you.

Is it possible that your child feals more comfortable in telling the counselor what she/he thinks. Does she/he maybe not trust the case manager? You need to find out the reason for the different stories. Is your child speaking their own words or just telling people what they want to hear to appease the moment? once you know the reason behind the double talk you will know how to better help your child.

Id think they werent exactly being honest and thats probally what the councelor and case manager think as well.

Maybe someone scared the child though into saying the truth but i would be werry if the story changes. You can really mess up someones life with false accusations.

In that situation I guess I would try to get them to meet together with the child. Then that would no longer be an issue. If that is not possible, video tape or tape record each session and play the tape so one can see/hear what the child is saying to the other.

It depends, if he is the one that has the authority over you, I would just stay quiet, Bu if you have the authority, I would evaluate the situation and take the appropriate discipline action... Firmly.

How are you raising him, any way? to get things his way or to abide by the rules of the house?

To sumarize; Discipline is in order, accordingly.

Suggest the two of them speak. You might need to sign a HIPPA waiver in order for them to speak to one another.
