Please Help!! Letter on the roles and duties of a school counselor, child welfare case worker, and social and human service assistant

Your name is Joe and you are a 12-year-old male who is currently residing at a group care facility. You were placed there by your case worker, Mrs. Jones, after it was decided that it was not safe for you to remain at home with your father. A month ago, one of your teachers noticed a burn mark on your arm. Later that day you received a visit from Mrs. Jones, who asked you some questions and then took pictures of the burn mark and some others you had hidden. You told her that you accidentally burned yourself. You did not tell her that your father burned you as a punishment for not cleaning your room that morning. Your father always hurts you (hitting, punching, burning, etc.) when you do not do as you are told. He tells you that the only way for you to learn to do what is right is by him hurting you.

After seeing the many bruises and burns on your body, Mrs. Jones figured out that you were burned by your father. Although you had been in trouble in the past for breaking the windows of vacant buildings and setting small fires on vacant lots, Mrs. Jones assured you that you were not in trouble and that she was there to help you. You were scared that day, but your school counselor, Mr. Thurton, talked to you in his office and helped you to understand that Mrs. Jones worked for child welfare protective services and was there to help you and your father. Only you and your father lived in the apartment, and there were no relatives who lived nearby. That day Mrs. Jones told you that she was not sending you back to live with your father because she was afraid that he might hurt you again. So instead of going home that day, Mrs. Jones took you to the group care facility and you have been living there ever since.
At the group home you are really close to one of the social and human service assistants, Mr. Randall. Mr. Randall helps you a lot and is someone you like to talk to because he knows a lot about cars and you want to be a race car driver when you grow up. Even though you have gotten in trouble, Mr. Randall is always friendly to you.
Two weeks ago you were diagnosed with conduct disorder and have been seeing a therapist and taking medication. During your last therapy session you told the therapist that so much has happened in the past month that it is hard for you to concentrate at school. Your therapist suggested that you write a letter to someone (it can be a real or imagined person) about what happened to you and how Mrs. Jones, Mr. Thurton, and Mr. Randall are helping you get through it all. Your therapist said writing the letter will help you understand your experiences.

Directions:
Using the case study above, write a letter talking about your experiences (as Joe) over the past month and how your school counselor, child welfare case worker, and social and human service assistant have helped you. In the letter you will explain what they have done for you and how you felt. This letter should be in the first person and can be addressed to anyone you think Joe would write to—imagined or real.
