[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 765957, member: 18958"] Hi. I worked over 30 years in prison mental health. My son is mentally ill. This is what I think: your son needs to stay where he is. If he is dangerous to himself and others, any psychologist or psychiatrist would mandate him to involuntary hospitalization. Where he is, others are safe from him, and he is likely safe from himself. Yes, there are dangers in prison, but that is the least dangerous given all the other variables. And where he is, there is the possibility he could be stabilized in time with medication and other interventions. This is the reality you face, but we as parents are always better off if we accept reality. I do not see you have any options here, that re realistic. Do not bail him out. That is what I say.
