A really good day turned out to be a really bad day. My daughter, now 16, had a social story saying some bad news and can't do stuff she was looking forward to next week because it's too hot. She is more upset to that fact that the staff she was meant to have next week, one is leaving so can't have her in September, which is when the activity is rescheduled.
My daughter got very upset and jumped the fence and absconded again, this time the worst its ever been. I constantly got called by the school with updates. Basically school finishes at 12:45 and she got home at 2pm. She was out of sight from staff and was just walking round the town and when she spotted staff she just ran away. Staff had to hold her for around 45/60 minutes, because she tried walking into a road, then she was on top of a train bridge trying to climb over and threatening to jump. I believe the majority of staff, around 20, ran to them to support because she wasn't safe. In the end, they called the police and she apparently started kicking and lashing out and throwing verbal threats and abuse to the police. The police put her in handcuffs and used as little force as they could and let staff handle it.
Shes now hurt physically and in all aspects. She's had police involvement in the past and every time she has assaulted them. They walked her back to school with staff and she was still in handcuffs hurting her. At school she refused to let the police take the handcuffs off and told them to go away and then starting kicking them and throwing stuff. Staff managed to calm her down and they helped take the handcuffs off.
I'm sure she has PTSD with everything she's been through. She's calmed down a lot now and is happier but is in a lot of pain and is burnt and hurt. It sucks and I do feel for her and everyone else.
