[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 699630, member: 1963"] A dad, do remember that the bulk of parents on this board are from the USA and are writing based on the experiences and information available here. IIRC, you are from a Baltic country, as are my family. Laws and standards of care are probably quite different there. For one thing, parents in the US do not have to relinquish all responsibilities for their children in order to get them into residential care. Most residential facilities are not run by "the state"; there are some that are run by counties within states, but many are privately run, often affiliated with hospitals, and even religious groups, though these latter can be questionable and should be researched carefully. There are courses and certifications that certain levels of staff at these facilities must have, and in many cases, they must also be licensed by the state or county. What you refer to as "the state" is what we in the US refer to as the "Federal Government". [/QUOTE]
