Violent Boy is a Danger to His Family | Chicago Med

My older brother who has special needs used to be so violent towards me and my siblings that at one point my parents had to bring him to a facility to help him and get him the help and meds he needed. You would never know looking at him now as he is the most gentle loving guy. Sometimes its the only option and is better for everyone.

Breaks my heart how he says "I'll be better". He loves his family and would always feel guilty for something he can not fully control. He needs this, but it still hurts like hell.

My brother was extremly violent against me and my parents did almost nothing. They send him to therapie from time to time but it was never long enough to heal him, because "he missed us so much". Today he is in a clinic because of alcohol and drug abuse. My parents wanted to look like a normal family so much, that they totaly destroyed our childhood. My sister and my father don´t talk to my brother anymore, my mother is still excusing his behavior and for me: I honestly dont know what to say about it anymore. My parents just choosed the wrong path

The more clips I see the more I understand how fucked up the US's healthcare is. I know that it's fiction and not always realistic, I keep that in mind, but often I also read the comments of several people confirming that this stuff happens and It's mind blowing. Im grateful for living where I am, with healthcare financed by tax money.

new achivement unlocked: abandonment issues

It's so messed up that medicaid won't cover treatment unless the parents legally abandon their child. There's no guarantee they will get the child back later. And that could further mess up the child. It's such a fucked up situation. There was another episode where the couple couldn't afford anti-rejection medication for their son. Insurance covered the operation but not the drugs. The parents were told to get divorced so the mother could apply for medicaid.

More respect for parents like these, that know there's nothing to be done, outside of psychiatric long term treatment, and do whatever it takes to get him help, rather than those that see the signs, but ignore them, and the kid end up mauling or killing someone. 'I'll love them, no matter what's is a fool's errand.

Who else found Chicago official one day and cant stop watching it?

One of the saddest cases on the show. No one is really at fault here or doing something bad „for the right reasons“ and the solution is just as heartbreaking. I honestly don’t know who to feel more sorry for. The boy or the family.

I worked in a group home, a boy there had to be legally abandoned or "surrendered" to his case worker and by proxy us so that we could better control his care. Similarly, it took a lot of convincing for his mom to do it, because she saw it as giving up on him. The reality is it's just on paper, and two years later he was able to control his anger effectively, hadn't been in an altercation, was doing better in school, slept better, appetite came back, and showered regularly (teenagers are rank bruv). Despite "abandoning" him, he got to move back in with her and guess what? They have a healthy relationship and are doing great. Also side note, just because you legally abandon someone, doesn't mean you can't still see and communicate with them, ergo it makes no real difference other than you aren't responsible for their care monetarily.

UK Version: They need to admit him. Parents How much will that cost . Nothing. you will get letter in 3 weeks

I hope they sued their insurance companies after this imagine having to surrender your child to the State in order to get them medical treatment. Heart breaking and despicable

That's so sad ... Just hearing him say the he just wants to go home.. and knowing this place will never be home without the people you love ❤️

Honestly this shows me how health care abandons families that really need help. Really sad.

The real villain of this episode wasn't the ailment the child had. It was the american healthcare system

Imagine sending him into society like this… wife, children, coworkers, what kind of life could he achieve

I can't stand when Dr. Charles gets hurt. I love that character so much

I really like the dad reassuring the mom that everything will be fine, that’s good husband and father material right there

Having your child taken away to get healthy or leave your child with you and just let the violence grow is very hard to choose but all they have to do is wait right? If it was the only way to have a child healthy then yes I would do anything even if it means they grow up without the love from their actual parent or a guardian. And even if it means we will be called abandoners. As long as the child is well that is all. Whoever you are no matter what you are just be you don't ever let someone judge you and just be free from your insecurities and fly for freedom have a great year ahead of you 💜

The expression on Jamie’s face when his parents leave…it broke my heart.
