[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 446937, member: 7083"] Apparently, in Ohio CPS used to pay to send any child to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or wherever if a mental health professional said they needed it. Except they were sending so many that the system quickly became overwhelmed - financially and in the number of kids they were dealing with. So to correct it? They go almost the exact opposite route and won't send anyone until they've been involved in the system, are violent, aren't safe to have in the home, etc. One extreme or the other. I don't know what happened to common sense. But when they're 18? Hey, you can kick them out and who cares if they don't have the skills to function as an independent adult. I wholeheartedly agree with Shari. Insurance companies have had too much control for far too long. I don't see that changing anytime soon as no one seems to have the cajones to take them on and change the system. /rant [/QUOTE]
