On thursday morning it was so neat I got a call from a emergency room nurse.
She had a 14 year old child who was believe to be autistic. Its now not known
if he is honestly autistic or just very cognitively delayed. As much so as to
that he is a 14 year old, as to a 4 year old cognitive level.

He has become a danger to his younger siblings, and his mother too. And
has no other family that he can be sent too. So the nurse had been looking
it seems since Tuesday when he had shown up in ER for some reason. (I don't have the whole story).

Anyway she, the school personnel (THat I got involved) and some other personnel haven't been able to find him a place to go. But on Thursday
night they had to finally call in CPS, and she finally gave the real father
who has custody with her a call. He was to take him over night.

But has had him all weekend. But wont have a place to stay starting
tomorrow morning, so tomorrow mom is to go to CPS, to take medical
papers and see what is going to happen next. I'm hoping that CPS will
make him a CHINS. Which will allow a placement in a residential placement.

Not sure how this will effect mom and the family. But its the best thing
for this child.

Thanks to a email I sent, there has also been a advocate named by the
Children's hospital that he has been too also. The advocate is also has
a lawyer license. WHich will hopefully help.

Keep this group in your prayers. And me because this was kind of out
of my league.
