[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 400260, member: 1169"] Sadly, they can call the police. The police can transport him to the ER or arrest him (their choice). In either case, it is now out of your control and they can keep him a minimum of 72 hours and possibly longer. A friend's 10 year old had this happen to him in October. It was horrible. The only way to prevent it is to homeschool, which often isn't a realistic possibility for kids like ours. As far as "forced" medication, I believe there are strict guidelines that must be followed but not knowing your state, it is impossible to tell what they are. In our state, at 12, my child can give their own consent for mental health treatment and medications. It is this fear that many of us live with --day after day -- as we put our child on a bus and pray. [/QUOTE]
