[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 258760, member: 6479"] We got my stepbro declared incompetent, but it took quite a few years of him being drugged out and homeless, bouncing between group home and jail and state psychiatric hospital before they even THOUGHT about letting us do it. He's in a perma-group-home now, monitored, and unable to leave for good on his own. It's a win-win for everyone. Your daughter is not anywhere near as unstable as he ever was. He's schizo and bipolar, was mostly non-violent, but constantly scaring the heck out of the community (telling people he was with the FBI, insisting that he wouldn't let "them" get away with terrorism, telling people that others were trying to kill them). He was a total mess, and a real danger/bother to OTHERS. She's a danger to herself, which SHOULD be enough (sigh), but so are many non-mentally-ill-street-kids making dumb choices. Hmmm. I can't imagine they'd let you declare her---she's making bad choices, but she's probably not acting "crazy" enough for them, I wouldn't think. Maybe some of the other posters have had experience with trying to declare a less-evident-illness child? [/QUOTE]
