THIS! Parents are screaming for help and get nothing. Then they are blamed and people wonder how something like this can happen. It happens because parents are told: “he’s just a child.” “You don’t want him to have a record.” “Let’s focus on the positives.” “Don’t call the police, it’s parenting by police.” “There is nothing else we can do.” “MA/your insurance doesn’t pay for that treatment.” And there is so much more.
He is our sons and daughters. He is the example of what we scream from the rooftops about. He is what we mean when we say we can't get help no matter how much we beg. He is the son we are threatened to be arrested for if we advocate too much because of his severe and dangerous behaviors.
We HAVE BEEN IGNORED. HE BECAME SOCIETY'S PROBLEM! JUST LIKE WE SAID OUR CHILDREN WOULD BECOME.
HIS MOTHER WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO SPEAK OUT. I APPLAUD HER BRAVERY TO SPEAK UP AND SAY SHE BEGGED FOR HELP. SHE BEGGED FOR HIM TO BE COMMITTED. Just as so many of our Families do. Sadly too many of us sit isolated in shame. But not her. SHE TOLD THE TRUTH.
I LIVED in Charlotte Mecklenburg County for a decade. I too begged for help. I was threatened with arrest when I advocated "TOO MUCH" for my son. When I refused to pick him up from the psychiatric hospital after he tried to kill me and his brother with a knife.
People need to stop saying the system is broken and START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY WE CAN THINK OF. BUT WE ARE IGNORED.
