I think it was good she was suspended.

We have had issues with female workers having sex with convicts in prison. It has happened on several occasions.

Doesn’t make it right.

I agree with @Charles_Foster.

I think the issue isn’t two adults getting intimate. The problem is the power dynamics between the two. One holds all the power, and that’s when things get really muddy.

Sex is inappropriate between patient and provider.

You live in a fantasy world.

But another patient has the same power as you. A nurse or worker would be abusing their position of power over their ward(s). Besides, people in a behavioral health hospital are generally more fragile at that point in time- otherwise, they wouldn’t be there. Attraction is one thing, but taking advantage of a patient who was ill enough that they needed that kind of help is another.

Welcome to the 21st century

Maybe they got married from their ordeal we don’t know.

I hope they did…love and attraction happens every day

Did you even read the article?

The MH professional was called by the client because he was suicidal and instead of doing the normal thing they do by reporting she went over there and kept going back to cover her tracks and ended up sleeping with him.

That is extremely bad mental health care

As someone who got taken advantage of by a provider. This relationship is extremely toxic at best. The power dynamic makes it incredibly easy for the provider to manipulate the patient in that situation. It’s completely morally bankrupt for a provider to do that.

No i didn’t read it

I went by the title of the thread and came to my conclusion there and then

On further anilisyin I think no sex in a hospital is not allowed , they should of left and fell in love somewhere else while keeping in contact and start a relationship

it could be true love idk

Did not read the article. But going by the posts: not okay at all. Sex or relationships with such power dynamics are just never okay. Even more so instead of helping them with suicidal feelings.

I have known of several situations like these that felt very odd. Like a 24-ish climbing teacher I knew who dated a student. From his KID’S talent club. :expressionless: She was 16-ish and he had taught her for years.

Or a guy I know who is a social worker and started a relationship with a highly vulnerable borderline patient of his. He bragged about how he healed her. Telling us her private story. When we met for the first time.

My home aid health proposed we visit her brother in law in his alternative living community. And started to show (swimming pool!) pics and tell me “hey, isn’t he something for you, then?” This already felt real odd.

This happened to me. When I was 16 my 23 year old guitar teacher started flirting with me and I ended up dating him for two years, he cheated on me the whole time with other underage girls and now he’s in prison for being 30 and trying to groom a 13 year old.
