[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 29193, member: 1514"] I had what I would consider very good help from county mental health for my son. It had nothing whatsoever to do with county department of social services though. Here they are two separate agencies. I didnt have to go through one to access the other because my son was already on SSI and received medicaid. That being said, I had bad luck with DSS when I begged for help from them one time. That got me investigated for neglect. Of course, that was probably my fault because of the way I did it because I got ticked off at them. I happened to be an employee of DSS and had been begging all the social workers for help and when no one would help I went to the Director and asked him. I told him that my sons problems and behaviors were so extreme they were causing problems for me not only in my home and community but they were impacting my job. As a member of the county and as his employee I was begging him for his help. He basically blew me off and told me to just do whatever my supervisor instructed me to do. Bad advice since my supervisor had told me to "beat the hell out of the kid." I sent an email to the head of Family and Childrens Services for the State of NC and CC'd my boss telling them exactly what my director said and asked them for help...lol. Well I got investigated but I ended up getting my son in an excellent program. Oh well. I got results from it. Ticked the director off though. [/QUOTE]
