The ethical and legal dilemmas that Ms. Burrows admitted to in the stipulation and final agency order were: billing insurance after taking payment for services, inadequate documentation and record keeping, and failure to have a signed mandatory disclosure (Stipulation Case No. 2013-938).

If that was me I’d be stomped and turned in to the police. Roger is just lucky that he ran into a nice woman like her. Roger learned trust because when she took him back home, she turned with her back facing him and then they trusted each other. Then, she made dinner and made sure that he ate, that’s the niceness of her. She didn’t have to do any of that. She could’ve turned to the police. That’s why she is nice and that’s why Roger learned respect, trust, and honesty.
