[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 253127, member: 1169"] Thanks all. Linda - we looked at disruption and our lovely DCFS was going to charge us with neglect in order to take her back and threatened to take all 4. Since she got the state grant right after that to pay for Residential Treatment Center (RTC), we didn't pursue it any farther. Our biggest problem is most staff at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) don't see her as dangerous. The nurse and her therapist are the two that seem to have the best grip on her but even then they are not seeing the big picture. I did get Kanga to admit to the therapist that she puts on an act for staff cause "they'd never believe me". The real reason is closer to "I get warm fuzzies and things I'm not really suppose to have because I made myself the favored child and I'm not ruining that be letting them know I'm hallucinating and craving violence." It shows me that she does have significant control over her violence but just [I]wanted[/I] to hurt us. Kanga will, of course, deny saying she puts on an act but the therapist will document it. As far as surprising the littles with a visit, Eeyore's therapist thinks that he will esculate if given any warning of the exact time. They have been working on skills for handling the visit although he doesn't have an exact date. Piglet is in a very important competition that morning so we do not want her nervous (her competition is closer to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) than to home which is why we picked that date). The visit is scheduled to last just 20 minutes (we're eating McDonalds, taking a family picture and leaving) and we are going to give the kids 2 hour notice that we are going so we can talk it through.
