[QUOTE="klmno, post: 255977, member: 3699"] difficult child's psychiatrist from this last psychiatric hospital stay just called. He wanted to see what happened in court and check on status of Residential Treatment Center (RTC). After I told him what happened, he was clearly shocked. He was saying he was so sorry several times and said he's worried about difficult child. I told him that difficult child had talked to the mental health person there and had tried to come back to psychiatric hospital just for a few days to regroup but they wouldn't let him. He said mental health treatment in detention is superficial at best and if they get to the point of addressing the disruptive behavior that got the kid in there, that's about the most it's going to do. He told me to tell difficult child he asked about him and to hang in there and thaat he'd been praying for us. He really sounded disgusted about the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) thing- see- it was a psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC), for level of care needed. He said the judge could have somehow gotten something in an order that would have prevented me being able to take difficult child out early. I said that's what I thought. He was shocked that the gal told the judge that I couldn't be trusted to not pull difficult child out early, too. I don't know if it's just here or not, but there is a major disconnect between mental health care and the juvenile court system. I can't believe that no one in this freaking county cares that his gal just went to court and advocated against difficult child getting psychiatric care that a psychiatrist at a psychiatric hospital that THEY put him in said he needed. And I can't believe that his defense attny doesn't get this. All he told me was that if I made any waves about it, the gal would make sure that difficult child went to dss upon release. [/QUOTE]
