[QUOTE="klmno, post: 228131, member: 3699"] Thanks, EW! I tried to answer some questions for both you and Mom to 3 on my "touching base" post. Mom to 3: tdo'd means getting a temporary detention order which means the police are taking a person to the psychiatric hospital for a hold and mental health evaluation. If it's an adult, there has to be a hearing within a certain amount of time- maybe 48 hours (maybe emergency hearing, I think). If it's a minor, a judge or magistrate can sign the order so the cops can transport the kid to the psychiatric hospital. The parent can then voluntarily sign to admit their child and that avoids a court hearing. If the parent is able to get the child to the ER on their own, without police involvement (transportation), the tdo is not needed. Parents only push for a tdo when they can't handle the child and get them to the ER without police help or when they don't know where the child is but they know there is potential for harm/danger to self or others and they need cops' help- as far as I know anyway.
