[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 436386, member: 11001"] Thank you all for your support. I have really milled around with what to do. I can't stop being mad as heck. I am going in Monday(and it won't be pretty) to see the director. I actually like her very much-she knows I'm a mama bear. My guess is she has no idea what is going on. I will give our lawyer a call. I have to tell you that there is so little he can do. In this state the system is a mess-they have just come out of a very long court ordered reorganization and were being watched and monitored. Every way I turn there are road blocks. Our judge is a great child advocate and I am wondering if I can get to him. The DBT skills are great but I don't understand how teaching them and then not letting them use those skills is helpful. I talk to her each night and she is holding on. She begged to come home. We have court the 22nd of this month. They told us she isn't ready but I am so worried about further abuse in these places. If I knew she would not run, I would have her home in a second. The trouble is, when she gets triggered she runs and gets in dangerous situations. At the RTCs, it's always these less educated people who are so damaging to her-I never have access to them and they spend the most time with her.The girls pick her out within a few weeks and hack away at her-has happened in every placement. She doesn't have to say a word. [/QUOTE]
