Sorry- really- I've got to get this out but I haven't been sitting here worried about it all day- I just found out at my visitation with difficult child.
The mental health person in detention is telling difficult child that he never needed to be in psychiatric hospital- that they would not have discharged him if he had needed to be there. Now, this is what PO's position always was- every time the acute psychiatric hospital let difficult child come home after a week. Our psychiatric hospital here and my insurance co. doesn't pay for more than that- but this mental health person was referring to the place SHE had him tdo'd to in Feb. Anyway, he was discharged because he had to go to court- that is listed in his discharge papers as the reason why and he is listed as "improved but not recovered". I don't think he needs to be in psychiatric hospital right now- that isn't what bothers me about this. What bothers me is that he was discharged on the Fri before his Mon morning court because the GAL failed to arrange transportation for that early Mon morning and our sheriff's dept would not transport during off-hours without prior direction from the courts. The GAL knew when the court was, and the psychiatrist tried to call her to remind her ahead of time, but she never returned the psychiatrist's call. Then, she sat outside the courtroom complaining that the psychiatric hospital discharged difficult child the Friday before.
So, here is a gal clearly covering her rear and then going into court acting like she's siding with PO against me, yet she didn't want difficult child discharged. She is the one that had difficult child put on a chins 2 years ago and had it put in his court order that he had to get mental health treatment, then when the psychiatrist/tdocs disagreed with PO, the GAL sided with the PO. I swear I don't think she even knows what position the PO is taking. The gal has always had a bad habit of not returning calls and lieing- yes, really lieing- in court to make it sound like she "got info from someone" when I find out later that they never even spoke.
I feel like I am the only one telling difficult child the truth. Not because these people are trying to lie- they are just making a lot of assumptions, never check into stuff, and are primarily out to cover their butts. Do you think gal has been over to detention (50 feet away) to check on difficult child or talk to the mental health person there? NO. For someone that seems to know so much about what difficult child needs, and care so much about his best interest, I would think she could go talk to this woman and let her know that difficult child was not discharged because people decided that he didn't need treatment anymore. This woman is telling difficult child he will be punished if he says he has suicidal thoughts. Here I have taught him to tell someone if he has thoughts like that or thoughts like he's about to explode and hurt someone else. The profs have worked hard for a long time to get difficult child talking about his feelings and opening up. Maybe this is their problem with me- lord knows they are doing everything in their power to undo what the profs and I have tried to accomplish with difficult child.
At least so far, difficult child knows I'm telling the truth. They had told him at the psychiatric hospital that he was being discharged because of court, too. But now, Department of Juvenile Justice wants to "cure" difficult child by getting mental health profs out of his life. (I don't call their behavior specialists at state juvy mental health profs.)
