[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 383173, member: 1169"] I'm still so shaky. I think the fact that I have to leave him all day tomorrow is making this harder on me. He'll be with husband but still.... I'm very fragile and weepy. The threat to take him for a forced inpatient stay really terrified me. I HATE that the state has the power to take a child from their parent without the parent being able to object until the child has been gone several days. It was time to do school work and he asked for help and they didn't help him so he got frustrated. He kicked a chair and knocked a snack off the table. They completely freaked out (which did a lot to calm him down). In the 12 minutes it took me to drive there -- they called THREE times. When I got there, there were 6-7 staff around him. He was laying on the floor. The thing that ticks me off the most is that they called the school and told them that they wanted him to be admitted and I refused and that he was a risk-of-harm-to-self. Seriously, then why did they let us walk out of the hospital? Talk about major C.Y.A. -- and then the psychiatrist calls to discuss medications, why??? She couldn't be bothered to call me when he was a patient but she needs to call now when she can do NOTHING since he is no longer her patient? Tigger asked me what was "upstairs" cause they told him if he didn't calm down he'd have to go "upstairs". He asked if that was where the devil worked? What kind of incompetent people threaten a kid with (a) a hospital stay that should be presented as an opportunity for help and (b) something that he doesn't understand why he should want to avoid it. What is so sad is Tigger had almost the same meltdown at school and once I got him calmed down, the teacher said it was totally up to me if I wanted him to finish the day at school or go home, that they were absolutely not suspending him for being unable to handle his anxiety. So the SCHOOL can deal but the HOSPITAL can't???? [/QUOTE]
