Oh Pear TreeI hope some good comes of this for BlossomHuge hugsLove Larsti x

Cahms that come out for young persons OD, really just talk with the young person, if you get the chance and have something written up they may accept that from you, but they speak with the yp and if the yp refuses they basically say there is not much they can do, in our area any yp that OD will be seen by Cahms within 10 days, but again if the yp says I wont do it again that is the end of it, but like with everything it depends on how "good" your cahms is.

Blossom is physically going through some trials Had some blood testsWaiting for Camhs I've been put through CP.....

Oh God, PT. I am so sorry and sad to hear this.Suggest you immediately email everyone who has been in contact with our family and told you that Blossom does not need any additional support and inform them that you hold them personally responsible for all this. If she had been dealt with as you suggested many years ago, this would not have happened.Secondly, get the police on your side. Very often, SS and CAMHS will listen more to police than they will to parents.Thirdly, get these CAMHS people to see exactly what has been happening all these years and ask them to support you in getting Blossom placed in a secure unit.Sending you love from all our lot.xx

Hugs.Thinking of you all

How awful for Blossom and for you. We are all thinking of you.xx

I would do what Madrid suggest plus I would start fighting through a solicitor as it is obvious that they neglect your daughter. She is disabled (you have an autism diagnosis?) So sue the people who have the responsibily over her. Now she is addicted to whatever, I pressume she is getting prescription drug as well? Not a good combination.She has been in contact with the police several times etc.She is treated like a 'normal troubled teen', and for a very long time everyone thought it was 'just' trauma, neglect causing her troubles, but now she is autistic she should be getting the support autistic youngsters can get. Probably the best place would be a residential school for troubled autistic children.Like:http://www.cambiangroup.com/Ourservices/Service/Home.aspx?Id=7&s=1

We tried.She's left into the unit in short term. Review by Camhs in a few weeks.....

Sending much love and strength PT - our experience much like others and very much left in yp's handsHoping yr dd gets the support she needs.Thinking of you all Mx

No, no plan.I do feel wrung outHad a nap after a precious lovely call from a dear understanding friend who is known to you all.Tried very hard and have put all things to the man at camhs today. They just say no risk as she didn't do with with deliberate suicidal intent so is no riskWe tried,I feel we had to try

How can they be failing her (and you) so badly. So sorry.

Please contact your children's commissioner locally I have have been very successful in asking the commissioner to review post adoption therapeutic support my county borders yours pm me for more advice

Oh, dear Blossom Hugs to the Orchard.She is still a child. This is the second time (at least - probably more?) where running away has put her in serious danger.She is not capable of making decisions that are in her best interests.I agree to record it, write to everyone you can (again).

'no risk'?It just beggars beliefI'm so sorryThinking of you all

Both my AD have taken several overdoses. One was was on leave from an adolescent mental health unit, so was taken back there each time, sometimes by the police and sometimes by us. Her psychiatrist said that she did not think that she had suicidal intent, but that she still might kill herself accidentally. (She did go on to try and starve herself to death as she felt that was the only option open to her - after 7 days she was forcefed with an NG tube).The other AD was not, at that time in hospital, but had been. She was sectioned and moved to a low secure unit. this overdose followed a previous attempt to section her 4 days previously when she just said what she needed so not to get sectioned! IT is a very difficult situation. We cannot have any medicine in the house, even small amounts of a lot of different medicines as my daughter's last overdose involved 2 or 3 tablets each of 10 different types!I hope things work out ok for your ADJollymummy
