[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 525387, member: 1169"] We had our quarterly meeting about Kanga's mental health. Basically it comes down to the fact that she is not really working on her treatment. She jumps through the hoops to get her privileges. When she gets mad, she ignores the rules, does what she wants and then (eventually) "gets with the program" and within 2 weeks has all her privs back. She has clearly demonstrated that two weeks of reduced privs isn't enough to motivate her to follow the rules. She was on her two-weeks of "frozen privs" due to refusing to comply with staff about something stupid when she ran. She clearly though she'd have her privs back on Friday (which would be two weeks since they dragged her back home). She found out at the meeting that her treatment team decided that she has to do therapeutic activities with her therapist and until those activities are completed to the therapist's satisfaction, her privs remain frozen. Then when she is cleared to start getting privs back, she can only get 1 per week (so 3 weeks) and ONLY THEN can she earn back her off campus privs. She nearly lost it so they excused her from the rest of the meeting with multiple reminders not to blow up. So far no call that she attacked staff or ran (she may have blown up verbally as they don't call for that -- they only call for restraints and runs). So, this time she could end up restricted to campus for 5+ weeks. It should be very interesting. I think the therapist is really starting to get how Kanga's game works and is going to do her best to throw a wrench in it and try to force her to actually engage in treatment. [/QUOTE]
