[QUOTE="Lil, post: 705598, member: 17309"] That's horrible. I'm not sure what it's called in our state, but the last time the police came to our house (thankfully, the only time, though we called twice and cancelled once) he was arrested because of a warrant on a misdemeanor - but the police suggested we do a psychiatric hold on him. I know that our police here will hold them until they can be admitted to a hospital and I think the hold is at least 24 to 48 hours. Jabber might know for sure. But they will put a hold on someone until they are fully evaluated. I agree, I don't think you have to pay anything yourself over the insurance...but it could depend on the policy and the laws of your state. Jabber's not wrong. If our son ever called me the C word, I'd likely be the one arrested because he [I]would[/I] pick himself up off the floor. I'm not a small woman, nearly 5'10" and I have nearly 100 lbs on our skinny son. I could and would knock him flat. If he'd have been closer when he asked me why I was being a b+++h, I'd have slapped his face. As it was he had time to duck. (I haven't ever [I]actually[/I] hit my son...but I would.) Sadly, most women [I]aren't[/I] bigger and tougher than their sons and don't have the option of smacking them for their language without getting hurt. I don't believe our son would ever hit me, even if I did smack him - but that's him. [/QUOTE]
