Question

Our son has Bipolar Mania 1 with psychotic tendencies and homicidal rages. We sleep in shifts to make sure that he doesn't hurt himself or anyone else. We've explored every medical avenue we can think of and no one can/will help us. He needs to be in a secure environment and letting the state take custody seem to be the only way. How do we do that?

Answer

First, I'm sorry to hear of your situation but unfortunately I have seen it several times before. You need to file a petition with your local family court seeking to have your child places pursuant to a Person In Need of Supervision petition. You can obtain the forms from the clerk's office of the family court building.
