My beautiful, soon to be 12yr old grandson had yet another breakdown at school today. He assaulted the principle and his guidance counselor. The school wanted to have him transfered to the ER (my daughter had just been to a school meeting this morning and talked about this kind of thing). When they called the police to do the transfer, he was handcuffed, arrested and put in the cruiser and brought to the PD. He now has 2 counts of misdemeanor assault lodged against him.

My daughter picked him up at the PD (they refused to bring him to the ER) and she was angry, not knowing if it would be safe around him and the police didn't seem to care. Told her he was her problem now. WTF is up with that? If they can't show some care or compassion to my daughter, how is my grandson going to learn that it's not okay to behave in this manner?

Well, he was evaluated by the local mental health rep and is waiting transportation to the children's psych hospital. This will be his 3rd time there in 6 or 7 years. He's been dx'ed with Bipolar/ODD/OCD/PTSD and maybe something else, right now I can't think straight. I'm so upset and so worried about him. I'm also concerned for those he assaulted today as well. They did not deserve that.

I'm frustrated because I couldn't see him today, I couldn't be with him at the ER and also couldn't be there to help my daughter or my other baby grandboy either. It's so hard to be stuck an hour away and working and not being able to get the time off to go there. I hope I will see them tomorrow, I just hope I can sleep tonight.

Wish I had some time to just break down and have a good cry......but as usual, sabby needs to "stay strong" and shut up..... *sigh*

Thanks for reading the vent......
