Not to mention, parents can get their other kids taken from them for allowing them to be harmed by a person with a disability. Chicago pd has some crisis teams who will sometimes respond, but it's mostly police. And they don't know how to deal with our clients. As you said... their job is to hammer. We de-escalate our clients all the time, but that's what we're trying to do. Previous Message ...if someone is charging them with a potential weapon in their hand...seems like not a good course of action. If you come at a cop with something in your hand, especially that quickly, you might get shot. Terrible situation all around. Previous Message Previous Message ...I'm not blaming them for their kids death...but if your autistic kid is having a violent episode and you call the police (repeatedly) about your autistic kid having violent episodes and assaulting his sister...what do you think the outcome is going to be? If he was so out of control and dangerous that you needed to call the police...well? And if he wasn't...then why did you call the police? They're not social workers. Previous Message Been there to start with. Previous Message *
