[QUOTE="Winnielg, post: 584758, member: 16059"] Our story is similar - I am so sorry you are going thru this. Last year after a violent incident we had our difficult child committed to an adolescent psychiatric ward - we are in NY as well but upstate - I assume Long Island has similar facilities. Unfortunately it took 10 days to get a bed. He was 'accepted' but we had to bring him home first and then call every day at noon to get a bed. Then he had to willingly go there - which he did thankfully at that point. I think if he had refused, I was told anecdotally we could have easily pushed his buttons, called Mobile Crisis which dispatches police. told them he had a bed waiting and then an ambulance would have taken him. System just stinks - but I think at the time it was the right place. Unfortunately we had to go there almost everyday it seems like while he was there for 15 days. I think we could have refused, but did as we were asked at the time. Good luck.... [/QUOTE]
