[QUOTE="DDD, post: 506967, member: 35"] I think calling is a good idea as well as making notes on the call. The facility people seem to have been polite and responsive to your inquiries in the past. I also think that the time frame will be days rather than weeks. Sadly I imagine the PO doesn't know because this was a quick decision made to avoid the fallout from GH placement. Of course that does not justify the handling of difficult child's case. Sigh. Does difficult child get to telephone you this week? He may have been informed about the placement and the time frame. I have no idea what the tone of the call should be to diminish his anxiety. Certainly something to think about in advance. Of course I don't "know" him but I "think" that if this is going to take place I'd try to do damage control very briefly and then focus on the positive aspects. The goal is reunification. Transitional services will be available. Whatever aspects that could be seen as an improvement over the GH placement. His frame of mind is paramount no matter where he is living. Hoping for the best, as always. DDD [/QUOTE]
