[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 404137, member: 1233"] Remember in ALL of this that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I know in our community a juvenile MUST be in major trouble where the police have taken them to psychiatric hospital/psychiatric services somewhere 3-4 times before they will even discuss Residential Treatment Center (RTC). usually they then tell you there is no facility or no $$ or no beds, but you cannot get to that point until the cops come to do transport for a violent child/teen. If a parent can get them to the psychiatric hospital then they are not so out of control that they need placement. It makes NO SENSE but is what it is. Then most places will tell you that they only take kids who are court ordered to be there, but the judges will not order it unless they have seen a huge escalation or the child has been int heir court enough that they are tired of dealing with them. So don't keep trying to do it yourself. Keep calling. Keep asking. Keep reporting to the caseworker, her supervisor, etc... They want to get you to think that they can't help so that you will go away and not cost their budget any $$. This seems to be the strategy here anyway. If she is violent at home, call the cops. Period. Don't try to keep her from getting a record, etc... MANY times the social workers told us that if he was really the problem we said he was then he would have a police record. he didn't, so it couldn't be as bad as we said. Just keep squeaking at them. Look at the things difficult child does to wear you down and use the same ideas to work on wearing the case wroker, etc... down. Those kids of ours have to be able to teach us something! [/QUOTE]
