That link doesn't support what you said either.

DP. I don’t think the lawsuit is over. But what happened is terrible and raises some deep questions about the hospital’s ethics. I do believe that boy, and other vulnerable children, are/were being trafficked.

That is an incredibly one sided article.  Some of that is because the psychiatric program at Children's National and CPS are both bound by confidentiality, so they can't respond to the allegations.  There is no way of knowing from that article whether there were ongoing safety concerns that prevented the kid from going home.

It's interesting that in the same article they argue that the young person needed to be released from the hospital to graduate from college, and that somehow because they have autism they need to be treated as a child, denied the right to choose who they live with as an adult, and forced to undergo a mental health exam.  The article talks about "returning the child to the parents", but that child is in fact a 19 year old.

It's also interesting that they talk about how the counselor that was brought in is "licensed in multiple states", while side stepping the question of whether he is licensed in DC, the only license that would be relevant to him participating in a therapy session in DC.

To be clear, it's possible that the hospital was 100% wrong here.  But it's also quite possible that the parents are painting a very biased picture, and there were legitimate safety concerns that warranted the extended hospital stay, and CPS's decision.[/quote]
