f you KNOW your kid is dangerous, and you try to get them treated, even institutionalized, your insurance will fight you tooth and nail to avoid paying.


This part I don't get, if he was a foster child, or previously a foster child that had since been adopted, they don't need to be covered by your insurance. They remain covered by Medicaid, was Medicaid fighting it?

Based on him having the same last name as the parents, I'm assuming he was adopted.

Either way, foster or adopted, it is my understanding that he should be on Medicaid until age 18. They don't give any details but if the mother's statement is correct, Medicaid fought the continuing hospitalization.

The kid was arrested 3 times for battery in 2019 and did some sort of juvenile adjudication program. The school also has a history of violent behavior from special education students in the recent past, one of which they built a padded room to contain.

This situation was a ticking timebomb. I'm not giving the parents a pass, but I'm also not sure what other options they had to pursue that would have avoided this.
