[QUOTE="klmno, post: 178300, member: 3699"] Thanks for posting that- what a sad situation! I find it interesting that the very people who "take over" then claim that the parent has a "my way or no way" attitude. It is the authorities who dictate everything and refuse to make it a team effort. When we as parents need "help", I think we sometimes believe that they can and will provide assistance. At least, that is what I used to think. Now, I see it as- bringing them in means turning it all over to them. It is their way or no way and any parent not willing to go along with that, even when there is reason to believe that their way is not in the best interest of the child, is reported as "uncooperative". They use a systemmatic approach to kids- they don't seem to care if it's the best answer for an individual or not. Even the GAL- I thought she was there to advocate for difficult child. No- she was there to be an objective party between the defense attny and prosecutor. And to see if the judge should order me to do something, apparently. She never really did anything that resulted in difficult child getting more or better care. She made assumptions and followed the systemmatic method that the county usually does. [/QUOTE]
