t. He was cussing at the psychologist. They also lied to me and asked me to sign a paper to get him therapy and then they told me it was for them to admit him into a clinic. Is that legal?

Answer by reefshadow
In most states, yes. If they suspect he is a threat to himself or others he can be involuntarily committed for those 72 hrs for an evaluation.
Sorry this is happening to you both! It would seem obvious that there has to be a better solution.

Yes, it is legal. It is called an involuntary commitment. The school would only do this if they felt he was a danger to himself or others, meaning that he may have been threatening to harm or kill himself, or someone else. Or, if he was completely out of control and the school felt it wasn't safe for him to remain there. They would not be able to hospitalize him for something as harmless as cussing. It must have been something more than that. Even if the school *tried* to have him hospitalized, no psychiatric facility would admit him for three days unless something more serious was happening. Try to get all the facts from the school.

I would seriously check in to what actually happened to make your son so angry. What is his side of the story? Is this behavior in his character? Sometimes kids can get unfairly labeled and get into trouble if somebody, yes even professionals "push the wrong buttons." Is this in the best interest of the child? It really sounds pretty harsh to me.
