[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 406528, member: 1169"] This happened to a friend of mine in October. The school called the crisis psychiatric team and no one called mom until he was at ER and a school staff went to ER and kept pushing for him to be admitted. By the time they called mom, the decision to admit had been made and it was out of her hands. No one from the school bothered to tell the hospital or the crisis psychiatric people that the child was Autistic, nor that the meltdown was started by staff not following the IEP/BIP. Her son was placed in a horrible child psychiatric hospital (the one that wards of the state are not allowed to go due to low standards of care). Her son came home 4 days later, completely traumatized, terrified of school and covered in scratches and bruises from the other patients. Now, whenever he melts down, the school calls the psychiatric crisis people. Luckily, they are starting to get a reputation for trying to go around mom and the crisis worker calls mom so she can get there before any decisions have to be made. She now has an attorney and it is going to get ugly. (The attorney is so livid about what the school is doing that she has taken the case pro bono.) [/QUOTE]
