I've been just lurking in this thread to see what comments and opinions arise and I gotta add my two cents and say that I have a dcm who works in a recovery/half way house and she refers many many parents my way...even with her own child attending here as well. I have no issue with this. Some of them are recoverying drug/alcohol addicts and some have done some time, but all have made it to the necessary place in their life to move on and do right by their children and society.
Statistics show that if someone was not reabilitated or likely to reoffend they do so within 6 months of their release from prison/jail. This mom, OP is referring to, has obviously done what is required of her and is moving on with her life. Most likely, parents that are in these types of situations are monitored pretty closely and odds are they are better parents than some of the others we vent about on here.
I think the cat has been let out of the bag...accidently; and as a provider and a professional it is your job to look past this information and give this mom the support and benefit of the doubt she deserves. JMHO.
