The casemanager initiated the prayer, not the client.

It is absolutely within the bounds of being ethical if the client requested it and initiated it.

If the clients initiates, the worker could observe, or be silent. Praying with the client would require further consideration of the potential impact on the client. It would be inappropriate for the case manager to initiate or force the clients to pray.

Only if the client initiates it. If the client asks the case manager to pray with him, it's perfectly ethical for the case manager to do so if he chooses. However, it would be entirely inappropriate, and even borderline illegal, for the case manager to ask or force the client to pray in any context.

It is not ethical for a case manager to ask or expect someone to pray. However, if a client starts to pray, there is nothing wrong with a case manager joining in.

If both case manager and client want to pray together, fine. But neither case manager or client should force the issue.

If you are in agreement, there is nothing wrong with this. In fact, it may help the situation you are in. We live in a world where prayer is shunned upon in the business place, or outside of a church. But, the fact is, God is everywhere, even at juvenile detention centers. I have found prayer helpful in the most hopeless situations. I admire your case manager...

It is not ethical or legal to do so.
Juvenile justice is a government position that cannot be used to espouse any religion, The case manager could lose their job if reported.

If the client wants to, sure. It's no one else's business in that case.

If both parties agree to it I believe that prayer can be an extremely good, helpful thing. But I don't believe that it should be forced on anyone.

Absolutely not. Very inappropriate behavior. Illegal even
