[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 654448, member: 18958"] I will read in a little bit, what the other respondents told you but I wanted to reply quickly due to the severity of the situation. She is a danger to self and others. To you, to your children, your husband, fellow students, and anybody else with whom she comes in contact. She meets the criteria to be 5150''d. The cost should be paid for by the County in which you live. I am virtually certain that if you tell the cops what you told us, she will be placed on a hold, that hold will be extended, and if she does not stabilize she will be placed in residential treatment program. The behaviors she is exhibiting are way beyond any parent's capacity to deal with or respond to. What I would do is call 911 and while you are recorded, clearly read the list of behaviors that have been violent to others and towards herself. The police have liability here. There is a major lawsuit if they do not deal with this. I suggest you also go to your County Mental Health Department. They may or may have emergency services that will come to the house. As I write this, i feel iffy about this option, but you may want to check it out. i also suggest request an immediate IEP, whether or not she is Special Education at this point. She needs to be. She needs to be contained in somewhere she is safe, and others are safe. There may even be a residential placement available through school. In any event there are services available. I suggest strongly that you research and contact parents groups and disability advocates, to get some help. When I was in bad straits, we got a free atorney to fight for us at the IEP. The other idea I just had is to call the insurance company and insist upon talking to a supervisor. Make sure you are recorded. Again, clearly recite the behaviors that have been violent towards herself and others. These people cannot not take this seriously. [/QUOTE]
