Hopefully it will all just be a blur for your son. It sounds as though there was so much going on at the time that it would have been impossible to take it all in. How reassuring to learn of the reaction of the police and SWs. 
How distressing for you all. I hope your son recovers well.

I have a huge lump in my throat reading your post.
How very traumatizing for you Printmiss to witness your dear son being strapped-down and handcuffed
Try not to think of him being treated like a criminal rather that they had to resort to such measures to ensure he got to hospital. I hope that Robert is responding to treatment and on the mend.
It sounds perverse but I was heartened to read that the social workers and police were visibly upset at the situation ...... it shows the basic humanity and kindness of these two often-maligned professions.
What a horrible thing to happen. 
Thinking of you PRINTMISS. You understand that they did what was necessary and not treating your son was not an option. Take care of yourself
Thinking of you, and hoping Robert recovers from this. You did what you had to do as a mum, out of love
I'm terribly sad to hear this. How awful for you to see your son suffer so Printmiss
You have been a wonderful Mum to Robert and done everything possible for him. Sadly, this distressing incident had to happen in order to get him to hospital to be treated and now he is having good care. Take care of yourself too...
