[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Article said mom was estranged from dad. Dad left gun out if I recall right. As I posted in the thread I started before I knew this one was continued, I applaud her speaking out so we can learn from this and hopefully it will wake up others in her situation in denial. However, based on her FB I think he just took her concerning beliefs and ran so far right it is even more disturbing.

Wonder if it's true she wanted to commit him. No clinician can verify that without consent. Not surprised she couldn't because our mental health system is a mess. Why won't she share the conviction in 2016. All she says is he was banned from the internet.

If she wanted him seriously committed on the spot you go to the ER and have him placed on a hold.  My good friends have had to do this twice in Fairfax with their teenager who sounds very similar to the boy in question, as recent as this month. Blaming it on a holiday weekend or after business hours is a bunch of should have, would have, could have.

Please know that this IS an option, in a real, true, emergency.  It may not be a parents first choice, it may have to be by force, but if you think your child is a threat to themselves or someone else, you can always take them to the ER.  You can call 911 to help you.  This may be a last resort but it is a resort.  This particular case has really opened the eyes for my good friends whose teenager has serious mental and behavioral issues.  [/quote]

I never said it was, but it is an option. You can try.  Did this woman? With all these signs? No, she said oh well, it’s a holiday week, let’s hang some Christmas lights.    Excuses excuses for her.

Taking your kid to the ER is no gurantee of admission or even hold in the ER. If there is no bed and/or the child is not deeme an immediate threat to himself or others, you get sent home. BTDT and was sent home more than once. [/quote][/quote]

You are cruel. It does sound like she tried. You mistake outcome for effort. [/quote]
