[QUOTE="klmno, post: 123883, member: 3699"] It sounds like you need, and thought you were getting, MST services. We just fought in court to get out of this, but we have a different situation. I'm not sure what or what hasn't been tried in your case but here are my thoughts- 1) It sounds like a neuropsychologist evaluation would be very helpful, as MM suggested, if it hasn't already been done 2) If the in home help was ordered through CHINS (Child in need of services and/or supervision- or whatever it is called in your area) you can file a complaint with GAL, or whoever ordered it- go to court clerk and find out procedure- that this was not adequate - you might have to go to a hearing and explain to the judge why you need MST services. 3) If these services weren't provided as a result of CHINS- go to clerk's office and file for a CHINS. Tell them you need MST. MST will work with both of you but it will hold him accountable in all areas of his life- home, school, etc. If you file for it or otherwise take steps to let them know you do not currently have control over your son, they can't legally come back on you, I don't think. If they determine that he can't get things turned around while living at home, they will remove him and put him in foster care, group home, etc., so you need to be sure that you can accept this as a possibility. If MST is what they were supposed to be providing, you can complain about what was actually being provided. These are just my thoughts- others will have more suggestions and other experiences that might offer more insight. [/QUOTE]
