When your son/daughter has mental health issues

I am well aware of that, but that is not a reason to detain someone, so they can access services under sec117.
I didn't say it was - and in any case such action would not be the family's decision to make. But it could be the family's choice whether to start processes which might lead to this and whether to fight against such an action, or not. So I feel it worth saying why it turned out to have been such a good thing in the case I know best.
In the OP's case the services he needs have not been forthcoming, yet, through other routes, and the situation is already far from ideal. My family's experience has been that social services need pressure, including section 117 and letters from a specialist lawyer to provide the basic residential care they do.But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.
