[QUOTE="slsh, post: 104255, member: 8"] Oh April, how scary!! First off, I'd go through your home with a fine-tooth comb, removing all tape, plastic bags, balloons, sharp objects, anything that could possibly be dangerous. Be inventive as you're searching. Put the stuff you need (bags, tape, whatever) in a secured place. We lived out of toolboxes with combination locks for years. Please don't take this as criticism because it's not at all. Your kiddo obviously has a creative mind and what would be an innocent object in another kid's hands might not be in his. Can you send a certified letter to case mgr's supervisor relaying therapist/psychiatrist's recommendations for more intensive therapy and additional evaluation, and case mgr's refusal to allow it? That has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. It is absolutely *not* in the best interest of the child. Do you have an atty involved in the adoption? Can he/she press the issue, especially in light of this incident? His reasoning for the tape sounds really off to me. I would worry about if maybe he was hearing someone/thing talk to him and he was trying not to respond, or maybe it's PTSD-related? Regardless of the reason, neither the taping nor the reasoning behind it would be in my definition of typical 9 y/o goofy behavior. And lastly, hon - never ever *ever* ask "what's next?" because sure as shooting, the kids will show you! [img]:wink:[/img] Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
