He was placed on the psych floor at about 3:00 AMthis morning. We finished the admission process after 4:00 AM. He started signing the paperwork and then suddenly decided that he was not going to stay. He thought he would be released the next morning and the nurse stayed that he will probably be there for 6 - 10 days. Well, he through a fit. He said that he would go crazy if he was to stay for 10 days. The nurse responded that he is then in the perfect place. He said the he is going to just leave and she reminded him that he is in a locked facility. He then said that he was going to break out. She responded that she has been there several years and nobody has every escaped. He told her to watch and he will be the first. He went on and on that we are a bunch of liars. We got him arrested twice for nothing. That his friends have his back not his family. His friends are the ones that care for him not his family. His friends would have known that he was not going to kill himself. His friends would have never called the police on him. The nurse responded that is because his parents love him and his friends don't. He that became louder and louder about leaving. They finally told him that he needed to just go to bed or they would have to call security. They took him to his room and got him settled down and to sleep. It was suggested that we just drop of clothes for him today and not visit since his only purpose will be to try to convince us to release him.
His primary care doctor (who is also the minister of our congregation at church) stopped by to see him today. He said that he is very angry at us for calling the police. He is not sorry at all and does not see that he is doing anything wrong. He told us that he will probably be released either tomorrow or Tuesday because they do not feel that he is a threat to himself.
We talked to a boarding school for troubled youth. After we talk to the psychologist tomorrow, we are to call the school back with more information.
