I quit yesterday because I was doing a home health case, but the clients teenage son was into to many things. He just turn 14 he drinks, smokes more than cigarettes, fights and he's on probation already. Im' not trying to sound whiney, but I think and feel like I did the right thing. I feel bad that I left but my health and safety is important too. The agency I work for seems to be mad at me for bringing these things up. They are making money hand over fist. Should I have done it different? Thanks

I would have documented everything though and told the agency every time something happened so that they had knowledge of the problems. What they could do is questionable, however, other than talking to whoever is paying them and advising of the unacceptable situation.
Still, you would have covered yourself.
Before I settled into paralegal work, I spend a lot of time temping in law firms and ran into some uncomfortable, unpleasant and downright weird situations. Even though I advised the agency with which I was working, there was little they could do - they wanted the money. So they just replaced me with another guinea pig.
