[QUOTE="klmno, post: 498853, member: 3699"] I don't really think I have time to do all that digging and research to find someone, exhausted- but it's a good thought. Buddy=- I don't actually have that sentence in the letter...well, yet anyway- I'll think about it and see if there is a way to make it obvious instead of saying "the emporer has no clothes on". Exhausted- as far as the MH and stuff- check this out- 2 years ago it became law that a kid coming out of Department of Juvenile Justice with MH treatment (as far as licensed therapist and/or psychiatrist) while in Department of Juvenile Justice, along with the typical behavioral counselor (not a MH prof), had to have a MH review (90 days prior to release)and plan put into place (30 days prior to release) by PO. OK- now how this plays out in reality: PO had the review mtg on Dec 28- approximately 45 days prior to release at which time he said since difficult child was going to group home and I said they would have to see to it therapist got paid for, difficult child was transported etc, because they were not releaseing him from Department of Juvenile Justice control, only the Department of Juvenile Justice facility, and returning him to my custody and I'm paying CS, they are now trying to claim that the GH staff (not MH profs) can take care of difficult child''s MH requirements. We'll see. The actual treatyment plan that should already be written out and set up by PO is supposed to be decided on at a mtg tomorrow- less than 22 days instead of 30 days prior to release. Still- nada in writing from PO. So that's what I mean as far as over the past few years, some of these things have become state policay and law but they aren't happening ITRW. The POs are still documenting things inaccurately (in my speculation only) in order to justify it but at some point, they'll have to address the fact that they can no longer afford to alienate parents. See, either I take care of difficult child;'s MH requirements meaning I'm going to have some say-so in who he sees, when appointment times are, etc, or they have to be noncompliant with the law, or they have to go explain to the county team why they need money for a therapist and transportation. So tomorrow we find out which one they are going to go with- however I don't know that it means too much to me until I see something in writing. Then though- on top of that- they can get a state employee to claim they are giving adequate counseling because of that dern exclusion in our law that state employees don't have to obtain the same MH license as everyone else in the world- a big one I want changed in the law. It does no good to require MH treatment if they are then going to allow a person who isn't a MH prof to provide it. It can actually do more damage to have an unqualified person trying to do this stuff- especially when it's an order to get it because every 'suggestion' by the counselor becomes a PO order. [/QUOTE]
