[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 374465, member: 1872"] Hi Jana, We've had very bad experience with the justice system. They don't understand mental health law as you know. I too feel angry that the judge ignored the mental health statement from the state, and is treating the diagnosis of conduct disorder so disrespectfully when he probably knows nothing about it. Protection and Advocacy is written into the mental health code. Look for other mental health advocates in your state. Other suggestions -- write to the chief judge of your county. Email or call your state representative. I had to do this and more until we could get help for our son -- he's 17 too. Is Community Mental Health involved? Is your son on medications? We've been to marriage counseling too because of the relentless stress. Also NAMI might be good resource -- lots of articles on tips on navigating the justice system, and your local NAMI may have some suggestions about how to help place your son Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
