Read the case study and answer the following questions. Peter was five when his mother died due to a heart attack, and after two years, his father got married, and his stepmother and his son moved in with them. Peter was close to his father, but his stepmother did not like it, so she convinced his father and sent him to the boarding school where he was abused and got bullied by his schoolmates. When he came back one summer to house, his step-brother accused Peter of stealing in front of his friends and their parents. Peter was so ashamed of this incident he locked himself in the room for two days, and his friend's parents no further let their children play with Peter. After this incident, Peter's father called him back home and started spending more time with him by fishing and doing the activities he liked. But his stepmother did not like it, and she used to hurt him when his father was not around, torture Peter and scare him to send him back to boarding school if he complained about this to his father. Peter is good at his studies, but after all incidents, he has intense mistrust that made him physically aggressive and verbally abusive towards the teacher and students in the school. One of his teachers, Miss Alex, has known Peter from the age of 1 as she lives next door and she finds this behaviour of Peter not normal for him, and she has also noticed a few marks on his hands and on asking Peter he became scared and started crying, so she raised the concern with the school principal, as Peter is not ready to speak up about the marks and his father is not contactable over the phone as he is away and Miss. Alex have a doubt on his stepmother for the marks. The school's behavioural expert has suggested that Peter may see a CBT expert, and the principal is thinking of involving the police for Peter's protection.
