Really? What does that actually mean?
"Short bus schools" are no longer allowed under the
I.D.E.A. (a federal law, by the way)
If this child is attending school with the types of behaviors that would lead the police to take her for psychiatric evaluation under the Baker Act, I would almost 100% guarantee you that there is an issue much more serious than a mere "temper tantrum". She is also not being served appropriately, which is also a shame, not to mention, a crime under the IDEA.
Whether she has psychiatric issues/disabilities or has a developmental disability, hopefully the 72 hour hospitalization will begin the process of evaluation. There are many facets to having a child evaulated and properly placed in Special Education. I hope this child's issues are properly identified and she will get the help she obviously needs.
