Emily is 15. Until recently, she had no apparent serious problems. Last year, however,

her parents got divorced, she broke up with her boyfriend, and her grades began to

suffer. Emily lives with her father, who is an engineer at a petroleum company and

makes $115,000 per year. She has had episodes of running away and suicide attempts.

Her father would like to have her placed in a private residential program at a cost of

$100,000 annually. What kind of facts must be developed in order for the school to be

required to pay for such a placement?
