Do the schools do that any more? Or are they afraid to make the kid feel bad for being in a separate program...?
Some kids need intervention and early so that they do not reach adolescence with so much baggage that they are overwhelmed
The media and including social media don't help matters with all the BS available to young people there
““...Where are the residential treatment/holding facilities?...””
A teenage female with mental health issues has approximately eight years to change her life around before doing something like this, committing suicide or becoming a sociopath. I know this from experience as my own daughter faced mental health issues at this age.
My wife and I pretty much drained our entire retirement account to get our daughter the help she needed. She spent one year at a residential treatment facility which cost us $20,000 a month. And I was out of work at the time. When she returned, she got mixed up with the wrong people and wound up in a police intervention program after she decided suicide by cop was a good option. The program saved her life and the day she graduated was the happiest day of our life.
I’m happy to say, our daughter is happily married, has a great job, and received her college degree in a useful skill. These issues can be fixed, but you really need two committed parents who love each other and who won’t give up on their children.
