[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 194308, member: 1550"] Hi, and thanks, both of you. This is a fairly unsophisticated family, doing all they can to get services for their child. She does have an IEP. I don't know what she did that was so bad the school is thinking of throwing her out, but I'm guessing it was some sort of violence. She is 13, but very small and the mental age of a seven year old (academically and emotionally). She in no way seems 13. She is obviously impaired. On top of her bipolar/ADHD, she also has seizures. I think her mom is a substance abuser...maybe she was exposed in utero to that...but I really never asked. The family is trying to get her into Day Treatment. She just got out of the hospital. But they were turned down for Day Treatment School. It's so nuts. I've never seen first-hand how they try to pass off "difficult" children to nowhere. This child has been known to threaten her younger siblings, even though she expresses great love for both of them to me and I have no doubt she means it. Poor little girl (I think of her as a young child--you would too if you knew her). Should I try to get them an advocate? They are very open to help and are overwhelmed. Right now they are afraid the social worker will have her sent away. The SD called the police and the case went to CPS. She lives with her father and stepmother. [/QUOTE]
