[QUOTE="WSM, post: 274653, member: 5169"] husband has to call, but the therapist recommended a hospital (one that difficult child's bio mom has been in) and said which doctor to ask for. He said the hospital would coordinate with the insurance. He said as for residential facilities the schools have places that concentrate first on therapy, and secondly on academics and that the school district can pick up the cost, and if he's had criminal problems, the state will often pick up part of the cost. He suggested that we call CPS ourselves and ask them to reopen the case; CPS has two tasks, protecting kids from harm and protecting society from dangerous children. If difficult child is a danger to himself or others (such as his sister), they are supposed to act. Last time therapist asked 200 lb husband if he felt threatened by difficult child; husband said no (now he's not so sure, he was unnerved a bit by the ceiling fan caper). As I said before husband did said that he thought daughter was afraid of difficult child. So maybe CPS will be on our side and help. The psychiatrist and the therapist will verify that he is a danger to himself and/or others, or that he is very disturbed or support his hospitalization. The therapist said the question is whether he should do a 30 day hospitalization (I think our insurance will cover 60 days if he's committed by a professional) or a longer term. husband said he'd leave that up to the professionals. (all this was being said infront of difficult child who sat there with tears rolling down his cheeks). [/QUOTE]
