[QUOTE="Steely, post: 74612, member: 3301"] Well, if CPS is not involved than YOU make all decisions concerning whether or not you think this is in his best interest. You have the final say as to what home or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) you want him in, and you have should have the final jurisdiction if you decide you had to pull him out of there. Who is paying for the group home? Make sure you are not signing your rights away as his mom in order to get him in a group home. I am concerned that it seems to you like a "court process" - and I am worried that they want to make your son a ward of the state in order to get this care. Maybe I am off base, but that is just what popped up as a red flag. I would not make this decision without knowing everything there is to know - and visiting all viable alternatives within your area. It is not something to be made lightly - although it sounds like a decision that would is in his best interest given his self harm, and harm to others. [/QUOTE]
