[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 339881, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]In the midst of a crisis staff must act immediately & on their feet; saying that, I've yet to read a crisis report that includes every second of an incident. After the adrenaline rush dies & a client is finally calmed can take a long time & things can be missed. Please know that I'm not advocating leaving out the black eye in the report - the bruise may not have blossomed until the next day. Additionally, there are other kids there who are just as aggressive & can become so while the staff are otherwise occupied. kt was hurt & then threatened if she "told". It is what it is - this system is not perfect. Now, as a mom I would be infuriated & have been in the past. I also, for the most part, gave staff the benefit of the doubt. However, if incidents of this nature kept continuing I went to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) manager & if need be to the psychiatrist in charge of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I also had to keep reminding myself just how very manipulative kt &/or wm can be. wm had been caught hurting himself after he had accused a staff member twice. Hope this helps - this isn't going to be an easy time. Maybe you shouldn't visit quite so early in your difficult children stay. Give it a few weeks unless it's for family therapy.
