[QUOTE="bran155, post: 254083"] My daughter has been in 3 rtcs and NO this is not out of the ordinary. There will always be certain staff members who are more abrasive and less empathetic then others. I have had several meetings, arguments and more than a few times have been downright nasty and yelling, threatening to the staff at all of the facilities that my daughter was in. What I did notice was the children who didn't have family or outside support were definitley treated worse than the kids who did have support. So make yourself known to the staff, show them that this child has a support system and they will be held accountable. I would definitely bring up the sleeping issue. Of course the roomate has a valid problem however, your son needs his sleep. In my opinion that child should have his own room so that he will not disturb the others. Again, not his fault but they should make it so that all of the children are as comfortable as possible. I know how frustrating it is to get these people on the phone. You might have to be a pain in the you know what to get what you need. I have had several arguments with staff members over the years. I let them know right off the bat that my daughter's mother has a big mouth and will not take no carp from them! At the same time I have also been known to be roped into my daughter's manipulation, gone to the school, made a fool of myself only to find out later that what I was freaking out about turned out to be my daughter's fault. So just be careful. You know your child and you know when he is telling the truth. I look at it this way, better to be wrong then to take the chance that someone is mistreating your child. It also helps if you could gain a friendship with the therapist or a supervisor. I was very close to a couple of them and it made it much easier. It's always good to have an ally! Good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
