[QUOTE="Star*, post: 474964, member: 4964"] There is such a thing as a locked psychiatric facility. Many RTCs are 'considered' locked, but some are split. One we took Dude to in Southern SC, was such a place. They had a normal locked Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that was locked meaning they could not leave by their own volition, however a parent could sign them out AMA (against medical advice). Then there was the locked portion of the facility where children were basically court ordered and the wing was 'considered' locked down. The kids there were what was considered dangerous to themselves and others, not a good place for anyone to be. Be careful what you ask for however. If you ask for a court-ordered locked down facility and decide later that you want to pull your child out it WILL TAKE a court order to get him out. You can't simply AMA him. FYI. A judge puts him in? A judges orders had to take him out. [/QUOTE]
