[QUOTE="witzend, post: 101066, member: 99"] I'm sure that Children Services Board (CSB) workers have protocol that they have to go through in order to place a child in foster care. The requirement would be that you are unable to control this child and have done everything in your power. You don't give any description of what you have tried with your son. Where did you get the diagnosis, and how was it done? Is he in weekly/monthly/daily therapy? What types of therapy does he participate in, if any? Does the family also see a therapist? Has he ever been hospitalized or otherwise placed in a residential treatment facility? Does he have an IEP? Have you ever had to call the police on him in order to protect yourself or your children? Has he ever assaulted anyone at school or otherwise away from home? You know the whole story here, so we're kind of jumping into the middle of your situation. Foster care is the absolute [i]last[/i] resort. I can't imagine that they are going to take your son for more than a week as "respite" care. Usually respite care is just an hour or so a week so you can gather your thoughts, isn't it? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me that you are more at the beginning of your journey with your son than at the end of it. What are you all able to do in order to get a handle on this situation? He is your son and you have seven more years of him in your home. Your Children Services Board (CSB) worker is telling you to protect your other children and help your difficult child's emotional growth. You can't depend upon the state to take your son off your hands at this point. [/QUOTE]
