that led her to juvenile detention. After serving a sentence of 6 months in the juvenile detention
center, she was remanded to a therapeutic group home for a year. Rachel sees her mother and
father once a week, on family day.
Rachel has a history of learning difficulties and her case worker reports that she has been
diagnosed with a cognitive disability. The case worker explains that Rachel lacks age-appropriate
social cues and struggles to make friends.

she discovered that Rachel has been communicating with an unknown male over a social
networking website. The case worker explains that the material that has been shared is
“inappropriate” and involves a tactic called “sexting.” There is little known about the online
contact, for instance they do not know the individual’s age, name, or true identity.
