forgot to add, for those who do not click on unfamiliar links....refeading is a situation where a person with eating disorders gets too much food too fast and their body goes into shock. sometimes this happens through a caretaker trying to get food into someone with an eating disorder, other times it happens when the one with the eating disorder has gone for a few days with out food or with very little food then they eat. during the time they are with out or with very little food their body gathers what it needs to survive from the body (muscles, cells, ...) then when food is added the body switches quickly back to getting what it needs to survive from the food sources and it sends the body into shock and other health issues like heart problems, death and other organ and body failure issues. a trained treatment provider introduces food back into the process through tube feeding, then actual food at an extremely slow rate. it takes many many months if not years to heal everything that happens during the refeeding phase. most if not always it takes inpatient care. which brings me to my next question...

in the original post it states that the person was denied inpatient care but then the post stated when the person was released they lied to their parents.

so Im confused ....in order for this person to have been released they had to have been in an inpatient treatment (hospitalized).

if the parents are in control of the insurance and they denied to pay then how could this person have been in a treatment facility in order to be released...

my point lots of questions being raised for me when re reading this thread.
