[QUOTE="klmno, post: 297341, member: 3699"] I just read the article. I will say that my 14yo son appears to be in a better place than that. Our governor closed our phosps - all of them for children/adolescents - saying more money wiould be added to dept. of corrections for mental health care. But what they aren't considering is that the out-patient tdocs for kids are not good, the probation officers are completely clueless, then when the kid gets put into state Department of Juvenile Justice "because its the best care we have for ill or disturbed kids with legal offenses", the kid then has a juvenile criminal record (those with felonies do NOT get expunged in this state) in addition to the stigma of mental illness to battle the rest of their life, only to be released to go right back to "community supports" which consists of more monitoring and behavior mod by people who know nothing about how to treat the mental illness. thanks allen for posting this- it prettty much sums up difficult child's life.
