[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 84322, member: 3626"] I've found that RTCs really aren't used to parents being really involved in the treatment of the kids they have. I used to have to fight tooth and nail to have any say in what would happen with my child. It actually took my social worker telling the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that they would listen to me and do as I say in areas of punishment, what we did when we were together, medications (they put her on some and she started hallucinating -- she's hyper-sensitive to medications and can take very few, even OTCs can cause violent physical and mental reactions) -- I knew my daughter best. Until then, I was basically blowing smoke. However, this is probably the best time for her to be off her medications. Let them get a true baseline of her behavior, see what can be helped with behavior modification and what truly needs medication. This MAY be why they did it. If so, be angry that they took her off the medications without your consent but have a wait and see attitude before insisting they put her back on. If they did it just because, then insist she be put back on the medications (if your state will let you truly have any say-so on her medical treatment at age 16). No matter what, you should have been consulted and it be discussed with you. I don't know if you can get it through to them that you are to be consulted. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
