[QUOTE="klmno, post: 409311, member: 3699"] JJJ- that might work but you see where my son is spending the majority of his teen years with no MH treatment to speak of. (I hope that didn't sound like I'm blowing off your opinion- I'm not- but at least in this state, we can't sue the agencies. And if someone finds a way to, they are covered- they keep a ton of money in their defense fund and they never lose.) Anyway, my point was that it's the kid's life that gets thrown away when the parent quits doing things their way. But what are you going to do when the kid goes beyond the threats and starts pulling a knife out. I sat there and told the entire county team that difficult child had already done this once and that a psychiatrist had recommended Residential Treatment Center (RTC), and PO refused to allow it. They did NOTHING except it will stay under Department of Juvenile Justice authority because it should come out of Department of Juvenile Justice funding. Now I'm pushing for him to go to a half-way house upon this release instead of setting him up for failure and me potential injury by trying the same exact "plan" again of him living at home on parole. Sorry- I didn't mean to hijack- just taking another opportunity to vent. I do feel your pain, DF- as you can see, I can somewhat relate to what you're going thru and I send many well wishes and hugs your way. All I can suggest then is try a different way. I wish to God I could have found a different way before my son started pulling a knife out. Nnow I pray I can find anopther way before he actually cuts someone with it- or himself again. [/QUOTE]
