[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 740096, member: 18958"] I am shocked at the response of the psychiatrist to expect the school to take responsibility to call cps when he has direct responsibility. In the states medical professionals are mandated reporters. I am one. Had I been told I would have to assess whether I was mandated to report. I would not necessarily expect these professionals to protect you. Their job is to protect kids and identical potential victims. But of course they are protecting themselves too. Feeling bad. Feeling guilty. Feeling sorry for you. Feeling sorry for b and wanting top shield him. But trust me should something happen you could be out there on a limb by yourself. Because each of the individuals you site could well have reporting requirements both morally and legally they are denying or rationalizing. In crisis--these have to be faced. People act to protect themselves. I am not trying to scare you. But the thing is you and these others know there is risk. And that this risk could potentially worsen. This is your fear. It is real. You fear you cannot prevent what could happen. This is a reality. As horrible and hard it might be to confront this fear, it could be easier to do while there is shared responsibility to deal with outcomes and contingencies while he is still in the treatment facility. Why not think about going to a family attorney? Is that possible? [/QUOTE]
