[QUOTE="klmno, post: 265318, member: 3699"] :rofl: My sentiments EXACTLY! I will add though that here, in order to get any kind of assistance other that a crisis therapist over the phone (a tdo, assistance with transport, someone sent to the house for a talk, etc), we HAVE to call 911 and have cops sent over. The cops assess the situation and decide which one, if anything, to provide. If they decide to do what I asked (which has usually been a tdo), then the cops call the mental health center to start the process. If I'm able to get difficult child somewhere by myself, this doesn't have to happen that way, otherwise- it's the law. The cops did not arrest difficult child for about 4 times that I called them from Dec to beginning of Feb. But that last time, they did. They are stricter on protocol if the kid is already in the legal system- ie: on probation- so we were lucky that they helped get difficult child to psychiatric hospital twice before that. If you have in home help for mental health issues but the kid is not in the legal system, you can be provided a mobile response without cops getting involved. The intent might be good, but the outcome is that kids who are in the legal system get kept in it and keep getting deeper in it as the mental health people get less and less involved over time. So, vent away. But prepare yourself- you might have to get used to calling the cops. [/QUOTE]
