[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dear friend has a violent teen. I fear for her safety. The police have been called multiple times to school and home but he is never removed from the home. He gets referred to juvenile justice and attends an online class or does some community service hours and there are no real consequences. [/quote]

I’ve been there. Here is what I did. I dropped mine off at hospitals and refused to take them back. I informed law enforcement that I intended to press charges and they were removed. (I never do press charges but I needed to be safe). They always asked if I would agree to hospitalization, which I do. So they would drop them off at the closest hospital and we would not pick them up when the hospital calls. It is unbelievably difficult and heartbreaking to do this. But it got us the help that was needed. [/quote]

She has tried the hospital route a number of times but is always told to take him home. He’s very manipulative and seems to know what to say to the social workers and psychiatrists. I don’t understand how they believe him when there are witnesses to the violence. It sounds like refusing to pick him up is the only thing left to try. [/quote]
