urgent help sort..child in crisis

jez6742

Hi.

My 14 year old daughter has been in residential school for 2 yrs but placement has broken down due to her extreme violence towards staff .

They cannot cope.

She has been assessed under mha but not sectioned. 

It has been stated by cahms and social workers that she urgently needs to move  to a place she can be assessed but there are no beds.

She was arrested on Fri after unit called police when she attacked staff.

She was cuffed n legs secured with straps and carried out. After assessment she was returned to the Unit

Because she feels hated she is fixated on moving elsewhere and all her behaviours are targeted to getting away.

She is trying to hurt others to be arrested. She is trying to damage school to be arrested.

 She is like a wild animal.

 We have been at unit since Friday as staff are no longer working with her. I'm exhausted.

 There are no beds apparently. We have great relationship with camhs n social services but nothing is being done.

The residential unitvare refusing to give notice...They want her removed by social services.

 Social services won't do that as nowhere available.

 There is no care plan in place to get her through tomoz.. its just us n her in a room in a residential unit.

Camhs have maxed out her meds n given diazepam but she has been in and out of crisis 8 times today. These have lasted for up to 2hrs.

I am waiting for local m.p. to respond.

Don't know what to do..

Help us pls someone

 Jez and a very broken princess.

 Love to u all

  • Most local authority areas have an advocacy group targeted at learning disability or mental health, but not all are genned up on autism. Also some are for adults, some for children.

    Some are labelled Citizen Advocacy Schemes. Some come under IMHA - Independent Mental Health Advocacy. If you search the internet locally for such services you should hopefully find one. Even if it is not the right one initially, they may be able to redirect you.

    Secondly is there a parents group in your area? - independent or NAS. They can often provide advice. Some of these and other services can be found via the search funtion with the red and pink map of the UK on the Home and Community pages of the NAS website. Even if you search Lands End or John o'Groats they always seem to come up with London services first, but scroll down and you should get a relevant contact.

    In situations like this you need the right people with autism knowledge fighting your corner.
