[QUOTE="FlowerGarden, post: 101273, member: 3068"] I knew I'd get great advice from all of you. I am going to look into your suggestions and order something. I feel that some of the people at the partial program he is at do not believe me. I get the impression like I am making a big deal out of something little. It's not only what he says but the tone and way he says it (monotone & like trying to brainwash). He just keeps repeating it over and over also. If I walk away, he just follows. He is so good at not getting caught at doing it to me. The fact that he just comes up to me and whispers in my ear is chilling. husband believes he is doing this to me and has been taking off from work whenever he can. Only thing, he's using up vacation and comp time. difficult child is just so sneaky & good at it. I don't recall who asked, but in NJ, at about age 14, the kids have an unbelievable amount of rights! It takes about 12 hours to get a child involuntarily admitted to the Children's Crisis Intervention Services unit. Once there they are told their rights as a child. After so many days (off hand I think it's like 7 or 10), they can sign to stay in the hospital voluntarily. If they sign yes, they can decide to leave and must give 48 hours notice. If they sign no, then it goes to court. Most of the kids know the trick to get out if they want! If the doctor recommends residential, then it has to be approved by an agency that is state contracted. They have a certain criteria to approve residential. difficult child met that criteria,but at 16, he can refuse! We called two lawyers and both said that they could not help us. The agency contracted by the state told me that if we have a problem after he leaves, call the police. Well, I called the police to begin with. It's just a vicious cycle of calling the police, getting an ambulance to the ER, getting him involuntarily admitted to CCIS, getting an ambulance to transport him to CCIS, stays there about 3-10 days, gets released, and eventually we start the whole process over again.
