[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 241986, member: 1991"] I endorse the personal delivery route. Also keep your own copy. And if you REALLY want to be canny, get the clerk who accepts delivery of your letter, to initial and date your copy of the letter (for you to take home and keep on file) as acknolwedgement of receipt of your communication. Then take your copy home and scan it, then file it. That way if you lose the hard copy (or your house burns down, heaven forbid) then you still have a computer copy. Also the standard letter-writing advice - try to keep to less than a page and state the basics. If necessary, add more details in an appendix and just keep your main letter to stating the problem and what you want done about it. "Dear sir, my daughter is an unmedicated bipolar who is increasingly coming to the attention of the court system. Her history is in the attachments. She recently was discharged to my care against our wishes and in the care of TASK. Despite being repeatedly verbally warned of the requirements poaced on her, she left our home yesterday informing us of her intention to remain away from home until Sunday. We reminded her of the Friday meeting with TASK and her abusive response was '...' . What I would like the court system to do is to please help us get her the psychiatric help she needs. She will be 18 on xx/xx/xx." Or words to that effect. You probably already know better than I do, what you need/want where she is concerned and what the system should be able to do for you.
