[QUOTE="mattsmom27, post: 11784, member: 50"] I sure hope that surgery goes/went well. Poor guy. What a horrible situation in all. I am just stunned at this facility. You know something Star, I personally wouldn't care WHAT the tapes showed, even if your difficult child started it. First, staff should have been around to stop/prevent this. It takes alot more than "a punch" to do this type of severe damage to a persons jaw. So if he started it they charge him? Fine. They also have to charge the other child, as obviously this is beyond self defence (you can only use as much force as is necesarry to protect yourself, in other words, did the other child require 8 hours of surgery just as a START? Hmmm, unreasonable force used). I'd take my chances, no way with Stardude's injuries the judge is going to throw the book at him if he DID start the fight. Not to mention, I hope it is just your wording, but is the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) only going to review the tapes if you attempt to press charges??? That tape should have been reviewed already and if requested, copies supplied to you and the parents of other child and the police. Period. I would demand a copy, it is your right. Review it yourself before it 'disappears'. I would normally say let things go with places like this, poor management to say the least. But with this level of injury? I would darn tooting positively be at a lawyers office as soon as I had time (breath first, you must be running around nuts right now with all that is going on). Imagine what is also happening to other kids in this place? GRRR! This burns my hiney! Aside from the disgusting procedures of this lame facility, I am sending tons and tons of good thoughts to all of you. For this surgery, recovery and for you all to find a solution that is going to work. Nothing like no plan,and unexpectadly having difficult child back home without support in place, a plan, working up to it, etc. Also sending cyber calgon, xanax, a good book, Raoul to do foot and back massages, a big tall glass of your favorite beverage (alcohol laden of course! just this once [img]:wink:[/img] ) and a fairy godmother to watch over all of ya!
