[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 454462, member: 1514"] Df...this is very similar to having to get your local congressmen in the know to help you get your disability file off of some caseworkers desk. That happens more often than you would think. Files simply get lost in a stack on a desk or in a file on the floor long past when deadlines are due. If someone doesnt light a fire, they just stagnate. You need to contact any agency who has had contact with your family and attempt to get copies of what they have. Now be prepared that they may not give them to you. If they wont, have your pediatrician request them. At least they will all be in one central place. Sometimes a person isnt allowed to have access to their own psychiatric records. I know, stupid but its a law they may use against you if they know about it. Lets hope they dont. After you have everything you need, you need to contact two sets of people. Your congress people for the state and the head of children and families. They are over social services and mental health. Both groups funnel up to the top eventually. There is one head honcho. That is the person you want. I also hit the dept of juvenile justice because at the time Cory was on probation but that isnt your case right now. I didnt stop at local or regional levels, I took it to the very top and believe me, I got a responses and some of it wasnt exactly positive but that was mostly because I worked for a division of children and family and I named names. First thing they did to me was hit me with a CPS investigation but I was ready for that. After all, I accused the local director of telling me to beat my son...lol. (Is it any wonder I dont work there anymore?) However, eventually I got what I was after. [/QUOTE]
