Patient was re-evaluated and deemed stable to discharge home with outpatient follow up as scheduled. Parents have refused to pick him up due to safety concerns for them and the younger children in the home. Benton County was consulted, and a CPS report was made. County placed patient on a hold while looking for alternative placements. Parents reportedly have been working on residential placement referrals.
