She had been residing at Von Wald 180 Degrees since May. Big escalation on 8/19 and brought to ED. Unable to return to Von Wald; parents are guardians but unwilling to have her in their home (possibly homeless?) and want to terminate their parent rights. Mom is difficult to get in touch with and wants all communication through her attorney.

MCR-F14-5997

Comes from Von Wald 180 degrees after being there almost 5 days, due to her statements about “what would happen if someone died here,” and some fixation on the gas stove causing concern that she would tamper and cause harm to many. She is removed from family home and there are complex family dynamics. She is adopted and is the youngest of 6. Adoptive mom is in TCU level of care and cannot care for her, needing supervised visits, and dad is not able to have contact. CPS and MH workers involved. This week she was certified disabled and hopefully a CADI SW will be assigned soon!

If given custody, they will be working on foster/shelter placement and kinship. All have been explored in the past for this kiddo, but previously denied due to behaviors. Kiddo has trauma history and does very well in school, only behavioral at home. Unsure if there is a current DA- team is looking into it.

Looking for shelter or other setting for an interim plan to get him out of the ED. Has had MNchoices in the past but do not believe it is current, due to frequent switch of placements, none being waiver.

MHF-F13-5731

This youth has boarded with us 4x prior. She was most recently boarding with us last week 5/28 and a day later physically aggressed on 4 of our ED nurses and was brought to JDC. She was discharged from JDC due to a previous rule 20, brought to another ED who discharged her immediately and returned to us again, only due to lack of placement. County is working on renewing her MNchoices, searching for waiver placement, out of state and is seeing if management would approve a hotel crisis respite.
