Scott tells you that his parents can often be heard fighting in the next room. Sometimes he reports that he feels like one parent might run away and take him along. Scott doesn’t think his parents would hurt him, but he’s clearly upset. A safety plan for Scott might include:
  1. A safe place in the house where Scott could hide
  2. Calling a relative who can talk him through it
  3. Running to the neighbor’s house
  4. How and when to call 911
Explanation
Answer - C - For Scott, the important thing is to have a safe place to go and to be when his parents would need to locate him. Still, he would need adults to be present and reassuring, so you may need to enlist a parent’s help to find the appropriate neighbors which could be tricky, given confidentiality.
