[QUOTE="klmno, post: 244503, member: 3699"] I'm not sure I can find better- I mean- there are better attny's, yes, but when he went manic before and racked up a bunch of charges in 1 1/2 hr, including arson for setting a brush fire (this was about 13 days after doubling his prozac), I talked to many attnys and I couldn't find one around here who understood the juvenile courts as well as the mental health issues and who wanted anywhere near a case of a 12 yo causing a fire (even though it didn't spread, catch a building on fire or injure anyone- thank God). difficult child seems happy- he's happy to have tdocs and psychiatrist available (according to him) and he's "beaming" over the fact that he's popular with the other kids there. Not that I care about his popularity with other young teens right now, but, it seems to be helping him to see that he is not alone in his insecurities and inept ways of dealing with them- whether that be by cutting and self-injuring or exploding on others. Even though it would take some transitional help to go back into mainstream, he seems to be feeling compassion, empathy, and protective towards others. Especially the girls. LOL! After reading JJJ's post- I did think to ask if staff were watching them all the time. He said they weren't even allowed to touch enough to hold hands, but they were allowed to talk. (Shewww) I questioned difficult child a bit to see if psychiatrist and the tdocs were comparing notes. He said they all put it in a computer system- even his teachers. I can verify that when I talk to the "team" tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
