[QUOTE="Christy, post: 167388, member: 225"] It's such a tough situation. I am just starting to discover this as my son is almost 10 and getting bigger and stronger. I agree totally with what Sara and Klmno are saying about the police not being equipped to deal with mental illness but on the other side, when you are being attacked by an unstable individual who can hurt you, what do you do? Calling for an ambulance is one thing but if the person is still unsatble then they will call the police to provide transport. I tried caling our mobile crisis once while my husband was restraining my son who was trying to hurt him by any means possible and they responded that they would get there some time that evening (this was 2:00 in the afternoon) and couldn't really say when. They suggested calling 911. In a perfect world, the people in authority would be better educated on mental illness. But since this is not the case, we are placed the difficult position of fending for ourselves far too often. [/QUOTE]
