[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 254080, member: 3907"] Janna, you have every right to be mad. This raises some big red flags for me as well. 1) If D. is using the phone inappropriately, the staff should request the phone to speak with you directly, and explain the situation 2) Staff should not be shouting at residents while they're on the phone, clearly listening in to the conversation. Doesn't demonstrate appropriate boundaries at all. 3) You should be hearing about incidents such as the stolen iPOD and whatever discipline was delivered, from staff, not from your son. If your son's comments were the first you'd heard of it, I would be worried that there are other things they're not telling you. 4) Same as (3) for your son's roommate's Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). If your son's sleep is being interrupted because of roommate's issues, the staff should be alerting you, and as a team you should be coming up with a solution. Either move your son or the other boy to a different room, or something. Again, hearing about this from your son, but not from staff is of concern. I would make a list of all of the things that are concerning you, and raise all of the issues at your next staffing meeting. If you can get a meeting sooner than the next scheduled one, then I would go that route. If you con group your concerns into categories, and then make a bulleted list under each category it will help you to keep your thoughts organized, and to make sure that you come across clearly and objectively in the meeting. Grrrr. I would be furious too! Trinity [/QUOTE]
