[QUOTE="klmno, post: 402170, member: 3699"] Yes they can. And I wish to God that had happened with my son. Instead, sd had him arrested, extended family fought against MH treatment and tried to get custody, my son continued to get worse until he became aggressive with me at home, and is now on his second stint in Department of Juvenile Justice, meaning he has spent over 90% of the last 2 years incarcerated. He turned 16 yo today. I fought for him to go to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) but because of all the koi others stirred up, that option was eliminated. I'm not saying that is the right answer for your son, especially with his diagnosis, but your question was could they do it and my answer is yes. That doesn't mean you don't have a chance of prolonging the placement, maybe you do and if I was in your shoes with a difficult child who had that situation and diagnosis I would fight to prolong it. However, I think you should also be grateful that this option has been presented by people "in the system" because if the day ever comes where your son is faced with a possible long-term commitment to Department of Juvenile Justice, he will probably be allowed to go to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) instead. And you will be grateful for that recommendation that was instigated by the sd then. [/QUOTE]
