[QUOTE="mazdamama, post: 487856, member: 12227"] Thanks Terry...he has calmed down so much since being taken off that Haldol. I think if anyone here has a child being put on it they need to ask the Dr why and if there is not something else they can use. Daniel did not understand when the psychiatrist that put him on the Haldol asked him questions that would have put up red flags. One was "do you ever hear voices of people not here?" Daniel thought he meant the actual audible voice....not the quiet ones he was hearing in his mind. One thing we have here is an awesome Children's Advocacy Center. Not only does this building house the police and special teams that question children that have been abused but also DCF, Guardian Ad Litem, David's psychiatrist and psychologist, a prevention speicalist but a long list of those that care about children. It is 2 miles from me and I spend alot of time there. When DCF can to my home the guy walked in and said "All I have heard is glowing reports about you as a mother from the advocate, the school, and everyone else that knows you"...I just need to let you know that with both boys having problems please never leave them alone for even 5 minutes. When Daniel was released from the crisis unit I was told to send him back to school by the ESE dept head. The new asst principal at the boys' school is a very cold woman. The one that was there for years was an older man that even if a child was in trouble they knew he cared about them. When I went for the staffing she (Mrs G) was in the reception area. She looked at me and said "I cannot believe they let him back in school!" During the staffing she told the others that she was concerned for her staff and students that Daniel would attack and injured one of them and that he should not be allowed back in school. I opened my big mouth and just said "Lady...admit it...you just don't want my child in YOUR school!". Seems she has never worked in a school that not only has special ESE classrooms but with children with problems in reg classrooms. Daniel told me he was scared of her because she is so mean. I told him...she thinks you will be bad at school so just prove her wrong. And he has.....lol. When she calls about David's meltdowns she always tells me that Daniel has been an angel at school. Even the advocate brought up the fact when Daniel was turned down the 2nd time for Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that "we should take a picture of Diane and send it around to these places that say they do not think they can handle Daniel and tell them that this lady has been doing it for 10 yrs on her own along with an autistic child...and your staff can't!" I told the asst principal that she needs to get some training....lol Anyhow...off to the advocacy center to fax some paperwork to Jacksonville and then to see my own therapist. [/QUOTE]
