[QUOTE="Steely, post: 219474, member: 3301"] OK, well first of all. I am SO so sorry.:angry: This really stinks. You know I can empathize, so I won't belabor that point. GRrrrrr............ However, I don't understand. When Matt has been that mentally ill, I have simply driven him to the phopsh, admitted him through ER, and told them what was going on. It was a simple process. They questioned me, they questioned him, and then they took my word that he was "out of control". I have also called 911 and demanded for an ambulance to transport a mentally ill patient to a hospital. Once in phosph I remember a time that they would not release him unless I signed papers that stated I was pulling him out against medical advice, because they deemed him unsafe and in need of a Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Legally they cannot release the patient back to society if they decide he is a threat without giving the responsibility back to the parent to sign him out. So, I am not meaning to doubt you in anyway. And Matt has not been involved with the legal system, but I am just wondering if maybe there are ways to get him hospitalized you have not pursued. And once there at a phosph, I [I]know[/I] you can tell the doctors you will not take him home - because that is what happened with Matt back in Sept. The phoshp had to keep him there until there was a placement found, because I told them he was unsafe to come home. Many hugs. PM me if you need a sounding board. I know every state is different - for that matter every county is different. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Steely [/QUOTE]
