D Incorrect. A child under 18 cannot provide consent for psychiatric care.

Answer to Question 2

C
The parents of the bully must communicate to their child that the behavior is not acceptable. The child should be allowed to participate in organized, supervised activities. This will help the child learn to control behavior. The parents do not need to use anger when dealing with the child.
