MHF-M16-7539

Youth came to our ER on 10/9. He had eloped from his home last week, police found him and when brought home he physically aggressed toward his mother, so police brought him to JDC, they reported they could not keep him because Mom was not pressing charges so he was brought to the Bridge shelter, where he was discharged from for exposing himself to others and was then brought to the ER. Mom is refusing to pick him up. He has autism and selective mutism. There is a recommendation for PRTF and RTC from June however the County has not yet screened via JST. There is not a current waiver, though waiver placements are starting to be explored to rush that assessment if identified. Has previously been denied by Hoffman Center and Grafton.
