[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I had the money I'd just let them stay in a rental under my name. Barring that send them to your parents.

[b]But you know your sister best - was she ever the type of child to acknowledge boundaries and does she have the guts to recognize if/when her son is a danger to himself or others?
[/b]
If she can't do either I'd get the exDH (if you know him well enough to determine he isn't a child predator) involved pronto and ask him what his thoughts are on his child and if necessary - you'll support him in a custody hearing as long as mental health treatment will be involved. If the child needs to be locked up, then he needs to be locked up. [/quote]

Hard to say. She did push for him to get a mental evaluation. But, as far as her parenting goes, she lets a lot of things go. Perhaps because she knows he's a ticking time bomb? I know that the therapist said to get him involved in Yoga. I am not sure if its a mental issue or more of a behavioral one[/quote]

If he spent a week in an inpatient hospital b/c of threats of harming himself, your sister would be getting more recommendations other than just yoga.  If you're not a troll and your sister truly thinks everything is fine ask to go with her to see the kid's therapist.  Seriously they would not have said just yoga.[/quote]

I swear I am not a troll. I don't know if they don't want to keep him because of her Insurance (State) or not. I asked her what kind of things I needed to know before he came home, she said, " ’ll have a crisis prevention and escalation plan that I can give you , there creating it for me ? with all my expectations and wants etc! But not a lot to Absorb at all " (and that was copied and pasted. 
The hospital is 4 hours away, I cant be there. [/quote]
