Tuesday, May 20, 2008 | A Call For Help story

Somebody, PLEASE tell me what does it take to get help protecting our mentally ill children.!!!!I was in the shower after a long two days of appointments and meetings for my children, when I was talking to my children and they stop responding. I jumped out when I received no response. I screamed out the front door wrapped in a towel and no answer. Threw on my clothes and jumped into my truck as I dialed 911. They were all the way up on SR50 here in East Orlando during high traffic. I saw 2 women w/my kids and I was so happy to see them but nervous and worried at what they thought. Then my son ran out toward the highway again as I ran towards him the more he ran not watching where he was going. He became literally 3 ft from the street as one of the ladies hauled past me and grabbed him as the police pulled into the entrance. I was in shock! I was so scared when he got so close to the cars I turned my head screaming at the 911 operator. Of course of all the 5 squad cars that showed up I ended up with the bitch officer. She followed me to my house where she bitched me out and told me what I already know. How dare she tell me to get a grip on my child and hurry up and do something because he could have been dead. REALLY?? REALLY?? She needs to become a detective! NO FUCKING SHIT SHERLOCK!!!! HOW FUCKING INSIGHTFUL BITCH!!!!I told her we were waiting on the therapist but she still bitched even after talking on the phone w/him and knowing he was already having an appt. and on his way to my house as he is every Tues and Thurs. He pulled up and she told me to go in the house she wanted to talk to him alone. FUCK HER. THIS ISN'T ABOUT WHAT THE FUCK SHE THINKS WHEN SHE DOESN'T KNOW ME AND OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T LISTEN TO DISPATCH BECAUSE I TOLD 911 THEY WERE BOTH MENTALLY ILL AND ON MEDS. Gina wasn't running away she just ran after her brother to get him back home since I was in the shower, she was a good girl!!!! I was so scared watching my 6yr old son nearly get killed, I am still in shock. Please help me understand more about ADHD, I keep finding out more than what I was told about it by the therapist and I am scared to death. I don't even want my kids to go to school or leave the house anymore.------------In FEAR AND LOST!!!!!!!!!!!

    My heart and blessings going out to you and your children as well. I'm so sorry that that happened. I'm not sure why our mental health system fails us so often! I will pray for you and your family! I'm so sorry!
