Sorenson's Ranch Info
Nihilanthic:
Well, um...
What's the problem and why are you seeking treatment?
ahx2:
drug use, lying, stealing, disrespect, sexual abuse of 2 yo sister
Nihilanthic:
Lying and disrespect is called 'being a teenager'. Sorry,
Drug use, or abuse? Actual abuse needs a real nurse with detox, not some ranch somewhere with min-wage earning mouth breathers. Using but not letting it screw up his life? Thats your problem.
(Lets be honest, folks).
Sexually abusing a two year old sister?
::T:: WOAH.
Get a shrink and some real treatment. A program would screw up anyone, but someone with such a severe problem needs actual help. Hell, there's a chance he might abuse other people's kids at that program once he reaches higher levels, and he'd come out even worse than before!
In ANY case I'd give a resounding "no" to a program but for gods sake in this case you need to find legitimate treatment and legitimate staff that can watch him and make sure he doesn't do that to anyone else. All a program can do is warehouse, AT BEST.
He clearly needs some kind of help, preferably outpatient, but if he's a danger he needs supervision. Have you had him evaluated yet?
ahx2:
We live in AK. I have a psych eval. @ Childrens Hospital in Seattle on Nov 2nd.. He is a physical threat where he is right now. He has physically tried to assault the person he is with. Obviously he cant stay with me because of the sister. trying to get my ducks in a row for what will happen after eval.
Nihilanthic:
Where is he now?
Also, um, I can say he genuinely needs serious help and stabilization and a program can't provide that.... or anything else for that matter.
I'd be shocked if any program would willingly take your son, and if they did, well, that's just another thing to report to the GAO until congress gets off its do-nothing butt.
Um... did this just snap and happen out of the blue? Or was he acting out before? This kind of thing usually doesn't just occur ex nihilo.
