No, it's all illegal. The only thing to keep her from getting arrested is that she hasn't divuldged on who SHE is. Patient/Doctor Priviledge... no discussion of a patient what-so-ever. Thus, doctors make you sign papers to say it's ok to discuss your information (and they have to tell you what they're going to discuss and with who). Two, an 11 year old with an obvious mental illness can't sign that paper. If this is real, and the doctor's name is revealed, she can be fired, fined, blacklisted... all that. It's illegal.
Then explain how people learn and treat these things? Why doctors can bring students in to witness such outbursts from patients, and allow them to study people at length? Do the student simply observe and never discuss things amongst themselves and never get outside input from trusted freinds or peers to better understand situations? Doctor patient privilge extends more into the courtroom then anywhere else.
Additionally, by revealing the situation to her boyfreind she can then discuss with him, getting the specifics of the incident, be better able to understand the kids trigger, and therefore be better able to help treat him. She's doing what she should do, and since no ones giving the kids name, address, or psyche ward info he's not being harmed in any way.
to those lamenting the destruction of this child's life...
1. It isn't destroyed, they've idetified it early and thusly have more time to treat and work with him so he can become a normal member of society. By learning that he can be triggered by contests with other people they can educate him on what sort of activities to avoid like sports, games, or anthingthat may be to much for his psyche to cope with. More that likely they will begin building up tolerance for situations like this by gradually exposing him to contest situation bet it video games or something as simple as checkers so he can learn to better control his own violent nature.
2. If his mental state was so frail that getting killed in an online game set him off then it was simply a matter of time before some other minor thing triggered him. At least in this situation he was at home and while it is tragic the fact he beat his sister and attempted to harm his family, it's better than if he was unsupervised at the park or school and actually did serious deadly harm to a stranger.
3. It's not the fault of video games. By and large television and movies are carriers of much more pervasive violence and hate yet because video games are the scapegoat vogue now they catch hell. The kid is mentally unstable, video games didn't make him that way, he was already that way through either chemical imbalances or some unknown trama in his home life. The kid is inherently violent, anything that stresses his ego is going to trigger him.
