[QUOTE="slsh, post: 266555, member: 8"] That is too cool, Janet. I sure hope he calls you back again - you'd do an excellent job of representing us! I was just talking to somebody with- the state of IL today about difficult child's situation. He asked me what I saw as thank you's future. I told him that if we're very lucky, he won't commit suicide and *will* end up in jail. He was a really interesting guy - said some states are starting to get it right by involving DOJ, SDs, local and state MI service agencies, clinical staff, and families all at one time so that the whole crew can come up with not only a treatment plan for today but also a long term plan. We figured out IL has spent $1.1 million on my son so far, and for what? There's no cohesiveness of planning and no followthru to guide my kid into adulthood and have services in place. Anyway - definitely keep us updated. I'm not a big fan of Dr. Phil, but it will be interesting to see what he has to say on the subject. Do you know is he approaching from a mental illness standpoint or from a behavior disorder standpoint, or both? [/QUOTE]
