[QUOTE="PinkBanana, post: 618806, member: 17633"] Thank you! I have looked at a few different types of forums and some peoples comments are so judgmental and kind of mean. It feels relieving already just to have a place where people have actually dealt with similar things (though unfortunate). For so long, I have felt alone. Family members don't seem to understand the severity of our situation, though I do not like to tell them everything that is going on for fear of them judging him or treating him differently. Unfortunately this is what has happened with my mother, as she was somebody I always confided in. I feel as though it is her defense because she sees the hurt and pain it has caused. The insurance still covers my son, they just would not cover the facility anymore. They felt he needed more intense therapy and to see the psychiatrist more often. However, he was at the highest level of treatment type program that we could find within a 24 hour drive and which was covered by them (because of the urinating and pooping problems most places would not accept him). We briefly took him to a 2nd facility. He was there for a week and a half. During that time they allowed his medications to run out, did not notify me for three days. He had not seen a psychiatrist or therapist. He was given a cot in the commons area, no personal space. He had called me about 5 times crying that other kids had jumped him, kicking him in the ribs, punching him in the face, etc. When I called to discuss this with staff they told me they had some rough kids and many of their staff members did not know how to deal with them. I was assured it would not happen again. When it did, I immediately went to pick him up. When I got home, he had girls panties in his back pocket. Clearly he had been left unsupervised. Home seemed to be the safest place for him. I will be checking into the Katie Becket Program. I truly appreciate your advice and support! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! [/QUOTE]
