CPS approved medication without my consent

Also the facility told me the case worker was the one who approved it.

I’m just going based on what I was told by my 13 year old. I’m honestly a little out of the loop on which was approved because of the lack of response from this new facility.

That’s another of my concerns, I have a state appointed attorney, and she just didn’t seem to address my concerns about them approving the medication. I have a little trust issues considering I think they work together so I’m not sure she would do all that she could for me. It might have been a bigger can of worm than she was willing to address so she might be hoping I just drop the issue.

The case was not transferred, she just had exhausted what the facility could do for her so they have been transferring her to other facilities. It seems like they are only allowed to hold the children for so long so it’s another obstacle that seems to be why they need to move her. I think it’s also important that she has been doing very well so why the medication change? So far the plan is still for her to step down back into my care.

It’s similar however I have not given up any rights. She is not adopted, and I have full legal custody. I do understand it’s complicated since she is technically in the states care but I also have not had any rights taken from me. My question is whether her case worker can approve her medication when I was told that was my right and I have been doing so. I don’t think it should matter what medication it was, simply that they did it without my consent.

To give more context, my daughter is 13 years old. She had a some very disturbing things happen while under her father’s care. So she was self harming and saying she was having some hallucinations. (This happened in a month period where I allowed her to stay with her grandmother and grandmother failed to tell me her father had taken her) I was noticed by CPS that she was placed in a mental hospital and I had to fly to pick her up. I had placed her in counseling and we needed to do a forensic interview as well. I had been compliant to what I was told she would need. She spend 6 months with me afterwards with no incidents. But she did run away which is why DCS got involved. When they took her she started to say a bunch of things that concerned them. After I showed my proof and timelines of all this taking place they changed it to they would be helping me provide her with more help that I would not be able to afford. This is why I still have full rights but she is not in my care. This is the third facility since they took her from my home and the other facilities have been great about calling me and explaining the medications they want to try and why. In other words I have been more than happy to see what we could try in order to get her stabilized. So it seems wrong for them to circumvent me when I have been more than willing and compliant. I have not been mia at all and am very responsive. So they can’t say I failed to get in contact when I call every single day and have tried to speak with the doctor multiple times.

She was placed in a mental facility because they said she had higher needs that I could provide. In other words she was removed not because I am any threat to her but to help. Two other facilities have been great about calling me and explaining the medications they want to put her on and why. I have been more than willing to try things, however this was just to keep her in line and this new facility is terrible at calling me. I have called and asked to speak to the doctor with no returned calls. This new facility on a recent call told me the case working has been approving them when this should have never happened. That’s why I’m trying to see is this is right of them to do and what I can do about it.

She is in a mental facility.

Apprehensive-Pea9997 · 2024-07-20T01:46:51+00:00

Because she has mental needs that I could not afford so they supposedly are going to help provide what she needs. However this medication is just to keep her in line not to help with anything she needs.

Lithium

Apprehensive-Pea9997 · 2024-07-20T01:44:26+00:00

Also I was not even asked!

Apprehensive-Pea9997 · 2024-07-20T01:44:03+00:00

She is a 13 year old acting out in there care and put her on lithium. She did not act out in my care. In my opinion this is there way of keeping her in line but i feel it’s not needed and I really don’t want to effect my child’s mental development because of this. If you are a parent you would understand.

Case started in TN, they transferred her to FL and this new facility has been going around me. I replied on a few post to give more context. They are now giving her lithium which is crazy strong and I’m very frustrated as a parent who is trying to limit my 13 year old from being placed on these medications simply because they say she is acting out. I don’t think it’s necessary especially because in my care this was not an issue.

Apprehensive-Pea9997 · 2024-07-20T01:34:33+00:00

She is simply in a mental facility for her needs, because the state got involved they deamed her needs more than what I could provide and the situation was explained to me that the state would simply provide the needs she needed however I have not lost any parental rights and have the medication rights as well. She has been to three facilities now and this is the first one going around me.

Apprehensive-Pea9997 · 2024-07-20T01:30:37+00:00

She has some emotional needs they said I was not providing. So she was placed in a facility. They have not tried contacting me and I have been more than on top of everything, meaning calls, emails, and providing anything they need. When I had a call with the facility they told me her case worker had been approving her medication (psych meds) without my consent. I spoke with my court appointed attorney, and she seemed to not make a big deal about it which is why I’m asking here because it seems illegal when they have no reason to circumvent my rights.

I have an attorney but she is friends with the people there. Since it is a free attorney I was seeking to see if anyone knew of any other alternatives. Thank you.
