Enchanted Ethical Scenario I

Twelve-year-old Rapunzel has beautiful blonde hair and lives in a tower outside of town. Rapunzel's protective mother does not allow Rapunzel to leave the tower. One day, a fifteen-year-old prince was strolling down the road and heard Rapunzel singing a beautiful song. He noticed her mother approaching and quickly hid in the bushes. He heard Rapunzel's mother request to let down her hair. After her mother leaves, he requests that she let down her hair. Flattered and starving for any attention, she lets down her hair and they hit it off. After secretly spending a good amount of time together, Rapunzel has sex with the prince and becomes pregnant. Too scared to tell her mother, she seeks out the help of a virtual school counselor. During the counseling session, the counselor/therapist does not secure permission from Rapunzel's parent/guardian or make any contact with the parent/guardian after the counseling session.

Enchanted Ethical Scenario II

The seven dwarves attend weekly group counseling sessions to work on their relationships with others. During group, Grumpy discloses that he is having thoughts about ending his life. Later that day, Doc and Sneezy are talking about what Grumpy said earlier during group. Snow White (their guardian) overhears the conversation. She contacts the school counselor and asks if he or she was aware of Grumpy's suicidal ideation and if so, why she wasn't contacted. Additionally, she was also not made aware that her dwarves were in group counseling.

Enchanted Ethical Scenario III

Cinderella and Prince Charming are getting a divorce. Concerned about her twin's emotional state, Cinderella starts to seek assistance from a family therapist/the school counselor. They tell the therapist/school counselor that they prefer living with their father because their mother is always late picking them up from school, does not pay attention to them, and spends money on clothes and shoes instead of groceries and clothing for the twins. The/school counselor carefully remains impartial and listens to their concerns but does not take notes. Cinderella finds out that the girls have been telling her secrets about their mother's shopping habits and neglect. She then hires an attorney, The Big Bad Wolf who threatens the counselor/therapistto hand over her records or she is going to jail.

Enchanted Ethical Scenario IV

Little Red Riding Hood disclosed to the school counselor that she has been meeting up with a boy named Wolfie online. She plans to meet up with him at her grandmother's house to "hook up" but Little Red is unsure if that is a good idea as Wolfie seems to be a "bad" boy and she is a little anxious about it. Little Red is eleven years old and Wolfie claims to be thirteen- years old.

Enchanted Ethical Scenario V

Arial, the little mermaid wants more than anything to have legs and to be human. She goes to see the school counselor, Ursela (aka- The Sea Witch). Ursela listens to the Little Mermaid and instructs her to come to her home after hours where she sells her a potion so that she can be human, against her father's wishes.
