[QUOTE="klmno, post: 379314, member: 3699"] I just read Marg's post and I think she is right. I said a few years back to people in our courts here that I think the problem is discrimination. Just like once federal law was passed forbidding discrimination based on race, it really took years before all local jurisdictions really abided by that and now the same thing is happening with MH issues and sd's policies for these kids. Until that happens, the ignorance in that jurisdiction's general population will persist. 20 years from now maybe things will be different, but the people in our local agencies pretty much reflect the attitudes of the general public in that jurisdiction and this just goes to show how much ignorance and discrimination is still left in our country regarding MH issues and kids that need help and support. These will be your local reps who walk around and complain about federal laws and having to comply with them and now having to deal with the state government coming in to check things. Just remember, the federal law was passed because the majority of Americans didn't want things to continue like this and they voted in people who would pass laws to change it. Unfortunately, it takes years and years before it really gets changed on a local level that directly helps our kids. [/QUOTE]
