>>95422856If you're really majoring in social work then you should consider studying a little harder. Kids like Butters can be tough cases but they're hardly unsalvageable. It's the kids that show a distinct lack of empathy and emotion that are almost impossible to do anything about because they're showing sociopathic tendencies.
Butters has serious confidence issues and some anger issues buried underneath those that occasionally emerges. If he was removed from his abusive parents, placed in a good home and given some CBT to deal with his confidence problems with some talking therapy for the underlying anger issues he would be a relatively easy fix.
Frankly the hardest part is finding a good foster home that would allow us to start working on his issues.
