[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 308175, member: 1169"] How it is handled will be determined by two things (1) what YOU say to 911 when you call and (2) local police culture. You can get a feel on #2 by calling or visiting your local station. As far as #1, if you want him to go to a psychiatric hospital (has he ever been? if not, this could be a very good thing; if he is on the revolving door, ??) When you call 911, ask for medical transport for a psychiatric emergency. Do not ask for the police (they will come with the ambulance anyway). Explain that your son is being treated for a mental illness and has become violently unstable and you are unable to transport him safely and he needs to get to the Emergency Room ASAP. The therapist seems a little snowed by difficult child 2. [/QUOTE]
