[QUOTE="bran155, post: 237044"] I am so exhausted for you!!! You have done so much to get the services your son needs. It just should not be this hard!!! One hand never knows what the other is doing!!! I commend for all of your efforts. You are a true "Warrior Mom"!!! My daughter was placed 3 times. The first time it was through the SD and they paid for it. I don't know how it works in your state but here in NY the SD does have the authority and the funds to place children into residential programs. The problem I had with that was that when a child is placed through the SD it is on a voluntary basis. So my daughter went awol 13 times in the first three months. While on one of the awols my daughter was caught shoplifting. That was the best thing that could have happened as we ended up in the court system. I begged the judge to remand her and place her as I was afraid I would end up losing her if she was not forced to stay in a placement. That is how she ended up in her other 2 rtcs. She was given a PO and she is the one her did all of the leg work to find an appropriate Residential Treatment Center (RTC). It was much easier than I thought it would be. I am so shocked by the fact that your son's PO is dragging her feet. It is an utter shame that she isn't doing all she can. And her supervisor is no help either!!!! What do they do all day, sit around and scratch their heads??? Hopefully you will finally start making progress now that you have actually gotten to the right people at DSS. It is so frustrating for you to have to, not only worry about your son, but have this added stress that you don't need. The politics of it all is just ridiculous. They would move much quicker if it were their children!!! Keep fighting the good fight, you'll get what you need in the long run. It's a shame that you have to fight for it but it will come. When he finally gets what he needs, you need to GO ON VACATION!!!! You so deserve a break!!! Keep us posted. You are in my thoughts. :) [/QUOTE]
