[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 282887, member: 84"] The public needs educated. This includes those within the legal system. Just because someone has a law degree or is wearing a badge doesn't mean they know squat about the reality of mental illness. We as parents of kids with mental disorders need to step up to the plate whenever the opportunity presents itself. If we want better treatment for our kids, then who better to tell it like it is? Ok. So most of the time people don't listen because it's easier to believe the stereotypes or what you want to believe. But in every group of people you talk to if just one "gets it", then it's worth it. But if we won't speak up for our kids, who will? klmno, I was very lucky my difficult children never got tangled with the law. Most especially with Nichole. So I doubt I can be alot of help. Except maybe putting input as far as my difficult child nephews are concerned. I'd speak to them if they want. [/QUOTE]
