[QUOTE="DDD, post: 399928, member: 35"] That's why I included in my post that he was quoted as saying he wanted the college to tell his parents that he need mental health treatment not education. If that is true then he obviously knew he was a danger to himself or others. [B]on the other hand. [/B]as Nancy said, some of us have spend all our savings and retirement funds trying to get treatment for our difficult child's. Once you have sacrificed everything you have...well, you hope for the best and stay prepared for the worst. The people who are blessed with easy child's honestly don't grasp how huge this problem is for the Country. Where we live it is really difficult to get support and early intervention for little children. The schools are not qualified or funded to provide the support that is so badly needed. The only children who get help are those who are [B]way [/B]obviously ill and the children of Warrior Moms who know the laws and insist they be followed. Most of the kids who do not fit the mold are expelled at the earliest opportunity and literally walk the streets with nothing to do and no help. There is no public transportation and there is only one facility in the entire County that provides mental health services. The addiction treatment is outpatient and limited in size and qualified personnel. Yikes. What a sad sad situation! Even sadder perhaps is that once these ill kids are on the street they break the law and oila! there is money in the Judicial/Corretional systems to house them often for years at a cost of twenty grand a year or so. WTH! It makes me sad and mad. DDD [/QUOTE]
