Q: Son is 14. Sees psych, counselor & been short term hosp. What legally can we do for his dangerous behaviors?
Have called 911 and had law enforcement here 2 times. No one seems to know what to do with him. He is threatening others in house hold. Punched holes in walls. Screams, yells, calls names for HOURS. Already been in trouble with school this year for death threats. Draws threatening pictures. We have had to place cameras, special door locks for our bedroom & siblings bedroom and door alarms for safety of other children.
