[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 761362, member: 18958"] This is a good idea. There will be an ombudsman for the County and for the State. There should also be a hotline for Corrections. Calling the attorney is essential. While it is a longshot it could be that his sentencing could be modified to deal with his emerging needs. For example, he could be diverted to a mental health facility. The other reason that his attorney must be in the loop is because of competency issues and impairment of judgement beyond what just drugs would do. Nandina. We don't really know how long he has been suffering. The psychosis could have come first. This presents legal issues. You are not a professional attorney or psychologist. (As far as I know.) All of us here are mothers, not professionals, dealing with our children. Give the experts the information they need to help your son. [/QUOTE]
