[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His trauma is long term and I’m not sure inpatient would be helpful. 
Dad (friend has been divorced since he was a toddler) would abuse his stepbrother in front of him. Mom couldn’t get custody removed because as long as the child is not abused, Dad has parental rights. So low levels of acting out most of his young life. He’s been in therapy for most of it. Within the past 6 months he’s moved to a therapist who specializes in trauma.

She is also working with a county social worker who is the one who put the remove everything plan into place.

Hoping others here had other suggestions. [/quote]

The county social worker is absolutely wrong.  What is going on at school?  Could there be more to all of this?  If it is bad enough, child may need a hospitalization.  Child probably has an undiagnosed or wrongly diagnosed and needs a full mental health and educational evaluation to see what is going on.  Dad probably had mental health issues and some are genetic.

It sounds so cruel to remove everything joyful from a kid who is struggling.  [/quote]
