6. If you were one of the other members of the Smythe County ECI program, how would you counsel Carol on proceeding with the Williams family? I can see that Carol is very passionate about the Williams family, and I would use her passion to remind her to use that to do what is best for Bobby.

This will allow the community to see first hand how Joy is living and caring for Bobby on her own. After the home visit hopefully change the views of Joy, and also allow more support from the community. What, if any, assistance should Carol enlist from other members of the Smythe County ECI
