[QUOTE="bran155, post: 189089"] Thanks guys. I was speaking to my sw today regarding this issue and she said that it is just Westchester County. NYC and Rockland County you are only responsible until they are 18. My sw says it's because the city of Yonkers and Mount Vernon (towns in my county) have so many children in placement that there is no money in the budget to care for children until they are 21. The sad part is that my daughter will have the right to leave my house when she is 18, I just can't throw her out. (or force her to participate in treatment/take medications) I will absolutely make her life as miserable as I possibly can if she refuses to comply. I am just afraid of the meltdowns she will no doubt have without her medications. It will be complete and utter chaos!!! Hopefully the misery I force her to live in will make her change her mind about the medication. We'll see...... She got high again today and left the house before our sw got here. The sw comes for her and usually ends up giving me the therapy!!! She hasn't been refusing her medications and her mood has been pretty good for the last few days. So we are due for a meltdown..... Thanks again. :) [/QUOTE]
