So here's the scoop on kt's refusal to enter treatment last week - turns out she can do it. She's also talking back & forth about becoming an emancipated minor. Get the feeling she's learned a bit in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) this last stint?
Last week Wednesday there was a bed at a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) open for kt (an all girls Residential Treatment Center (RTC)); kt refused to go. We had no recourse as she wasn't out of control so I couldn't call the police for transport. The psychiatrist can push for admit (which he did) but if kt refuses to go.....
Mental health CM did his best to force the issue; even went to court to try to get a judge to order treatment. Our best response is that kt is not an immediate danger to herself or others.
The team believes that kt's "best friend" is pimping kt out. kt believes everything this "friend" tells kt & is so naive that she's sure this time the guy will turn out to be her one true love. As far as we can ascertain, kt is not getting money out of this - the local police are getting involved. There was a video (disgusting) on kt's computer that showed a man in her bedroom however kt isn't naming names nor is her "friend".
Of course kt is telling everyone & their brother that I cannot hear at night - those she's told are inviting themselves or kt is inviting them over for a party & other things. That has since ended.
The treatment team came up with a contract. Mental health CM told kt that the county was demanding a contract that kt signs. If kt doesn't comply the consequence will be to follow the teams plan for out of home placement. kt will not be able to refuse. kt signed the contract & there were 3 witnesses.
In the meantime, I have to ask for a GAL to appeal to the court on kt's behalf if another bed opens & kt once again refuses treatment.
