[QUOTE="JulieMarshall, post: 415049, member: 11453"] Julie Marshall is my online pseudonym, not my real name. I'd never put my real name on the internet (it's pretty unique and very recognizable), especially when talking about my son. Alright--that's a great idea. I'll go do that now. I'd hate to miss something and pay the price for it. What would emergency treatment entail? Thank you so much for responding. I don't think I could even get him in the car, and I think that if the psychologist came into our house to talk to him, he'd just lock himself in his room and blast his music. That's what's so frustrating about this and him--he's ridiculously against getting help and I'm not even sure why. What's emergency transport? Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I'll definitely call all our doctor, but it'll have to wait til tomorrow--they're all closed now. I just tried to ask Leo if he'd call a crisis hotline, and gave him the number for one, but he just walked away before I even finished the sentence. Yes, it's been really difficult for all of us. We all loved that kid. Yeah--I just looked up the symptoms for depression and I was like "check, check, check." They've had grief counselors at his school, but he refused to go when I asked him to. And, to tell you the truth, the counselors in our school district are pretty incompetent, from what other parents have told me. Can I really do that, get the police to take himself somewhere? How would I go about doing that if worst came to worst? Thank you so much for replying. Since he's a minor, do those laws still apply? Yes, I've tried to talk to him. Every day I've tried. He's just extremely resistant to any mention of it and will physically remove himself from the situation if there's a barely a hint of his friend or his feelings. He's had a few minor bouts of teenage angst before, but nothing even remotely close to this ever. Leo's never acted like this before. Thanks for replying. [/QUOTE]
