[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 309974, member: 1233"] I would be ready to yank someone's lungs out through the nose in your situation. WHY do they think that a 12yo should be responsible for remembering medications? NO reputable group involved in the process of prescribing and dispensing medications feels that a 12yo should be left to their own devices when it comes to medications. If school thought he needed medications and you were waiting until he asked to give them to him, school would have reported you for medical neglect! Marg has an excellent point re: overdosing. I would be calling the Superintendent of Schools over this. The building principal is clearly not enough of an authority to get the legal responsibilities for medication dispensing through to the rest of the staff, so maybe they need to hear it from the superintendent. Super may need to hear it in context of "If it happens again I will be calling my attorney re: civil suit in this matter". Cause it robs difficult child of educational time, and many other things in addition to putting him in danger of an overdose. WHAT would these same people do if difficult child just took a pill to school in his pocket every day??? THEN you would get a whole lecture about the need to supervise difficult child when he takes every single pill prescribed. They just don't want that lecture to be aimed at them. Grrrr. I am glad you caught it before medications were adjusted and he was put in danger of an overdose. [/QUOTE]
