[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 370181, member: 8617"] I had to have my ex placed into observation at the psychiatric ward of a hospital, twice. Back before I was diagnosed and stable My mom had to have me checked in. I lived in AZ at the time and the process was very simple. All it took was a call to police with one of two criteria; 1.Threat to self -or- 2.Threat to others When I called police on my ex it was quick and easy. I mentioned he was mentally ill, not stable and not medication compliant. I mentioned I was afraid because he had homicidal thoughts and fantasies and needed to get him to the hospital. They actually wnet into the house and into the bathroom while he was in the shower to get him by surprise...they took it VERY seriously. He left in an escorted ambulance. All I had to do was follow to the E.R. where a very patient and understanding staff asked me to tell the same info over again after which they typed up the court order and I signed it. Had he chosen to not be voluntary at some point they would have taken the court papers in to get the order. Fortunately he went along with the program. There was a security guard there the whole time to keep him in his room until he went to the psychiatric floor. The police just need to know there was a threat. I am shocked that you have to wait until after something happens. Maybe you aren't giving them enough of the right info?!?!? IYKWIM... Have you tried calling the hospital to ask if they would keep her if an ambulance came? Can you court order her through hospital without police help? Whether difficult child is joking or serious she needs help. "Normal" people do not make jokes about killing people or dwell on the subject at such great detail. You are better off jumping the gun and teaching her a valuable lesson about appropriate behavior than letting it go and feeling bad if she actually does hurt someone. We're not talking about shop lifting or underage drinking here...:anxious: [/QUOTE]
