CASE STUDY 15: On а Sаturdаy evening at 6:50 pm, Mr. Tam, a CYC practitiоner, tоld Quinn, a 15-year-оld boy, to take a time-out. Quinn left his room several times to continue an argument with Kevin, another 15-year-old boy, who also had been told to take a time-out in his room. Kevin also came out of his room twice to insult Quinn. The last time Quinn was sent back to his room; he suddenly ran out to the day room and hit Kevin on the back. Mr. Tam, who was standing 10 feet away, stepped between the two boys. He separated them while they continued to yell insults and threats to one another. Another CYC practitioner, Mr. Sanders, walked with Quinn back to his room, while Mr. Tam took Kevin to his room to complete the time-out. Mr. Tam told Kevin, “You should have stayed in your room, I told you to stay away from him. If you had stayed in your room, Quinn would not have hit you.” Kevin replied, “He never gets any consequences anyway.” Mr. Sanders left Quinn in his room and returned to his other work. On his way, he looked back at the last minute and said to Quinn, “You need to stay in your room.” then took no further action. Later, after thinking about the incident, Mr. Tam approached Mr. Sanders. Mr. Tam told him that while both boys have violated their restrictions, Quinn had a history of using intimidation and threats to get his way with other youth and even with staff members. “I wonder if we should show Kevin that we can keep him safe from Quinn by doing something more about his aggression towards Kevin?” Mr. Sanders disagreed, saying that the incident was “no big deal” and that they should just leave it alone. Mr. Tam reminded Mr. Sanders that Quinn can be very loud and confrontational with staff members, so they should be careful that they were not backing off due to fear that Quinn would escalate. Mr. Tam stated that he believed Quinn would think a lack of action on the staff’s part was an indication that Quinn could push the other boys around. Mr. Sanders reacted coolly, but reluctantly agreed. Mr. Sanders said that he was not going to tell Quinn about the extended restrictions, so Mr. Tam informed Quinn that, as a result of his attack on Kevin, he would miss a trip to go to a basketball game the next day.
