Youth came to our ED 5/5 via parent after discovery of past sexual abuse toward sibling. Parent is refusing to take pt home. CPS doesn’t have jurisdiction to remove pt from home as his safety is not at risk. Current CMH worker is contracted, many steps would be needed if RTC were to be pursued/recommended. No waiver.
CH8SCH-M12-6473
Patient presented to the ER 1/21. Patient is familiar to us. Patient has a complex psychosocial history with prior CPS involvement and a chaotic home environment. Patient typically does well in the ER & hospital setting but struggles at home with severe aggression and behavioral dysregulation in relation to conflict with parents. Patient does not appear to comprehend the severity of his actions and feels like his actions are justified (which appears to be related to his level of functioning). Patient likely needs a crisis respite placement/group home placement, but his CADI waiver and insurance are on hold while transferring to Benton County.
Doing very well for the most part at CentraCare.
