[QUOTE="DDD, post: 212865, member: 35"] Sending understanding support your way. Here are the options that I see based on far too much experience with the criminal courts. 1. Go SIT in the DA's office. Be polite. Take a book. Do NOT leave. Tell the secretary "I am XX. Mr. YY the DA asked that my husband or I come to his office to discuss case ####." She probably will reply "Mr YY is too busy today to meet with you but I'll give him your number. You then very politely respond "I am sure Mr YY is very busy but I have set aside this day for this very important meeting." Then sit. Then read. Do NOT look scared. 2. IF that does not work then write a letter to Mr. YY the DA and copy the specific Judge who is handling the case. In that letter (which you must hand deliver and get a signature showing you delivered it) simply state the facts. Dear Mr. YY: As per your request we have attempted to get together with you at your office regarding our mentally ill daughter Suzie Q (case number ***). As you may recall we were very appreciative of your assistance when you suggested the higher bond figure to make sure her peers could not get her out of your facility. It was our joint goal to assure that she be safely maintained until a bed became available at TRT. That bed is available today. Please advise how we can make sure that she can go directly from your jail to TRT before the much needed bed might be reserved for someone else. I can provide, if needed, documentation from x, y, and z that Suzie Q has a number of serious problems that require multiple medications to assure some self control. We understand that in the jail, without those medications, she is displaying the very behaviors that demonstrate her need for inpatient care. Like most mental health patients she is not able to exercise appropriate self-control without pharmaceutical support. My husband, Joe Blow, can be reached at the following numbers at any time. (insert numbers) I will also be available at any time to receive a call from you. (your numbers). It is our hope that Suzie can be placed at TRT before court on Thursday as time is of the essence. Thank you for your caring and professional help. In times of family crisis it is reassuring to have compassionate support when in unfamiliar territory. Yours truly, 3. GET an Rx for yourself so you have the strength and energy to advocate for your daughter. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
