[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 254321, member: 47"] Here when you call for an ambulance for a mental health crisis, only the police show up and if they decide mental help is needed, they call a crisis team to come out and assess the situation and they decide if the person is to go to the hospital or not. One of my sons friends is skitzofrenic (sorry for the spelling) and came over to our house to say goodby as he was off to jump off the overpass as the FBI wouldn't leave him alone and was putting thoughts in his head. He was so out of it I just sat on the porch with him trying to calmly talk to him while I don't know how many police showed up with tazers in hand. They were not too happy when I refused their orders to move away from him and I kept telling them to call the crisis to take him to the hospital. They finally showed up a half our later, and off to the hospital he went. I could just envision how the police easily could have escalated the situation and tortured that poor kid more than he already was hitting him with tazers :( He wasn't being violent, just talking about how he wanted to end it as he couldn't get the FBI to stop looking in his head. I am very leery of the police here - they have a tendancy to shoot first and ask questions later..sigh. Am hoping the hospital will keep him for a while and will do some tests on your son.
