[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 434483, member: 1233"] This is way beyond a weight issue. It is bullying and abuse period. If you have an attorney, get him involved ASAP. This kind of treatment is NOT therapeutic and no 25yo uneducated intern should be dictating her treatment in any way, shape or form. If seh was studying to be a therapist in this profession she would still not be allowed to speak to a client with-o being supervised. Write this down with the name (first and last), employee number if they use that instead of last names or first names, get a copy of her chart/records, get the therapist who confirmed it to sign a paper saying that she told you this and it was her understanding that this is what happened. Then file a complaint with the owner or CEO of the firm that owns or runs the joint. Make it VERY clear that you WILL file a formal complaint with the regulatory board, the court, and will file a lawsuit against the facility, the director, CEO, supervisors, psychiatrist, nurses and of course this bully if she ever even LOOKS at your child again. IF weight is the issue then you DEMAND access to the salad bar and HEALTHY meals not of mystery meat and beans and stuffing all slathered in gravy. That meal with all that was in the box sounds like close to the daily amount of calories a person should eat. So do they plan to just not feed her the other meals? HOW is that healthy?? Point out that hse is there to deal with emotional problems, not to get more of them. You and she have rights as patients. The facility MUST have complaint forms and provide EVERY patient and their guardians/parents about the procedure and leave forms out or give them freely with NO questions asked if someone has to be asked for one. I am so sorry. This is awful. Make double darn sure that the psychiatrist knows the next time he lets a 25yo bully do his job (rxing her diet and giving her nothing healthy and way too many calories for a "healthy" "weight loss" diet that you will have formal complaints lodged with the state medical board and the board of psychiatry (problem child and adolescent psychiatry) and try to get any /all certification revoked or put on probationary status for quite a while. Can you get a video camera in the facilty - like a phone? Or one on a pen or whatever so you can take pictures of her boxed weight loss meal, and how she is treated and singled out. this will go a long way toward proving your claim.
