I AM AND WILL UNTIL I DIE. I AM 70. I WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON MENTAL HEALTH NOT ONLY FOR MY CHILDREN BUT MY EXTENDED FAMILY ALSO.

Mental health has a long way to go in public views,political views,and medical views,including the right kind of medicine and proper care of mental health. They in my guess adopted a child whose mother was on drugs,the child will always be addicted,there is no way to control this. I know about bi-polar mental health and the manic side which you will think everything is great and the depressive side which causes complete havoc and the baker act is necessary. I worked with mentally ill and knew the sweetest 10 year old,that was released from treatment center and hanged himself. I hope this mother will visit her adopted son often and show him they still love him.

My family and I volunteer each month at the Foster Parent meetings and these wonderful people tolerate a lot for very little help from the state, they do it for the kids. When the children need a litlle more than they can offer the state should be able to help. Maybe even the facilities would be able to give “scholarships” or some assistance for services, I thought Doctors do what they do to help others not to get rich only. These are KIDS that did not ask for the troubles they have been given.

The question is, what is the right sollution here? When he goes back into state care, he is not going to get the proper treatment that he needs i’m sure.
