[QUOTE="Broken_Hearted, post: 541509, member: 14909"] I just got back from the Hospital - it took me two hours - I had to walk because my mom was expecting me to there for a few hours I called her - told her what happened and I felt so bad because the poor thing was exhausted from driving me around evey where - and she was half asleep - so I ended just walking - halfway home in downtown Charleston I got lost - and a man gave me a bus card - the bus driver and I got to talking and he told me about a family member of his who is a teen in rehab- and I'd like to share what he said to me later on but first I just need to vent - because I am so perplexed and confused. They discharged him - and won't tell me where even though I am the legal guardian. I am in a state of total shock. It was totally bizarre - today I went to Charleston County Crisis Center to do pink papers for him. He has the court date on the 11 of July and after reading the face book pages and seeing that he got beat up last night - and was planning on putting himself in harms way again - I felt it was urgent and he might not make it until the probate court commitment hearing. They agreed help me to fill out the paper work - and then hey told me I would need to go to the ER. So I did after the theraputic unit picked him up. As soon as my mom dropped me off - and I went to the nurse and asked for him. I waited for five minutes and the two security guards and nurse came up to me as if - I don't know how to explain it - they treated me like a criminal or somthing - it was bizarre ....and told me I needed to leave the premises. In the paper work I did at Mobile Crisis I put down my cell phone number as a contact number. I had my cell phone on me the whole time - nobody called. When I got home my mom was very upset and told me the ER psychiatric doctor had called asking to speak to me. She told him that I wasn't here and that I was on my way home - she told him that the security at hospital had told me to leave just 20 minutes before. If the security guards had let me stay - I would have been able to talk to the psychiatric doctor. Instead I was walking in the middle of downtown Charleston -and even though I had my cell phone on me - I got no phone call. Anyways the psychiatric doctor asked my mom "What should I do with him". My mom answered that he needed to be evaluated and locked up because he was danger or himself and others and he was probably going to hurt or killed. The psychiatric doctor told my mom - he could not help with that - that was an issue for the police to handle. What I find incredulous -is that on the discharge papers from before - it said to return him to the hospital if he got suicidal or homocidal which he is!!! Plus he's coming down from the cocaine and was drunk when I spoke to him on the phone today My mom who was a court reporter in family court most of her life told the psychiatric doctor that the police will not do anything until he gets hurt or someone else does - which is so true. The psychiatric doctor told her there was nothing they could do for him. My mom told him that all I was getting was a runaround, that I had the probate court hearing set up, and was doing exactly what I being told to do. My mom told me she was very upset - and did something that was totally out of character for her. She said something like "Let's quit pretending everyone want to help - when's it obvious nobody gives a damn if he lives or if he dies" When I got home - I was shocked that they didn't call my cell phone . The psychiatric doctor told her he didn't have it - and my mom knew that I had put it on the paper work at the crisis center. Also what got me the most is that I when they asked me to leave - and I told them I was instructed to come here - the nurse and security guards told me he was in" police custody. " And that I was not needed at the ER. What does that mean??? So I asked her , and I said well last time he was in "police custody" and I stayed here with no problem until the outcome - I said what is different this time? Instead of getting an answer I was told to leave and that he was in "police custody". So confusing! I'm at a total loss for words... [/QUOTE]
