[QUOTE="oceans, post: 39702, member: 2687"] I guess you need to work out what your needs are, and when you feel comfortable seeing him. I feel that your son has a mental illness, and he is not doing well. My son went through a lock down facility, but it housed other kids with mental illness. There were staff hired to make certain that it stayed safe. I don't understand why they would put a 13 year old into a "dangerous" lockdown. He should be placed with other kids his age, and have therapy and medication trials....lots of structure, the lock down will prevent him from running away. This is what the lock down was like that my son was in. I think that it is important to feel some empathy to those who are mentally ill. It seems that as unstable as he is acting, the psychiatric hospital should have tried some different medications while he was there. The risperdal does not seem to be helping him. I have seen my son very unstable. He has had very erratic behavior in the past, but he is totally different on the right medication. I am sending my best to both of you. May he go to a facility that can help him, and not be dangerous to his well being. I hope that you can find some peace and eventually be there for him. [/QUOTE]
