[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 295119, member: 393"] [SIZE=4][FONT=Fixedsys]Having had many many hospitalizations with each tweedle I can tell you that it isn't "easy" to get an inpatient psychiatric evaluation. Presenting a danger to himself or others at his age is going to be "iffy" at best because by the time the psychiatric SW shows up to evaluate the situation the child has been calmed by ice cream, movies & what not in the ER. AND that is where you start ~ transport your out of control child to the ER. Document, document, document & always take your parent report with you. If your difficult children psychiatrist has practicing priviledges & is willing to hospitalize him that may be the way to go. Check in with psychiatrist. All of our inpatient stays were because of out of control dangerous behaviors that lasted hours; threats to kill themselves or myself or husband & physical aggression. kt's first hospitalization was at the age of 4; wm at the age of 8. There have been many inpatient stays & then moves to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Hope this helps some. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
