[QUOTE="slsh, post: 254297, member: 8"] Oh hon- vent away. I'm so very sorry that your day started off this way. I think you handled it quite well. Sorry the police didn't handle it the best but... at least son is in hospital now. I see absolutely nothing wrong at all with going down to hospital to be involved with- treatment. Best to get there while he's still being cooperative. ;) Things work differently in different localities, but whenever we've needed to have our difficult child transported, I've called 911 and requested an ambulance to transport a mentally ill patient (we don't have a crisis team here). That will guarantee the ambulance plus several police officers if things get hairy. I think officers do tend to err on the side of caution - not that it's easy to see them restrain our kids, but (being a veteran of these kinds of calls), I would much rather see them keep my son contained than risk him bolting or attacking an officer. It's just a horrible scene all the way around and I'm so very sorry your family is going thru this right now. Please remember to take care of yourself right now. Your son is safe and supervised. You need some TLC. Gentle hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
