[quote=Anonymous]As a previous poster noted, the only choice at this young age is to move into two different places. Often, dad has to live full time with the violent kid since the dad is usually the biggest and strongest. Then, the money you used to have to pay for a psychiatrist, etc is going towards housing. It is a complete mess.

I’ve seen two other outcomes. In one, the parents adopted a child from Russia who was extremely violent as he got older. They ended up relinquishing their parental rights (and this was the mid 80s). You can imagine the heat they got for giving up on an adopted kid. But they believed he would kill them all. I was a teen back then, but they probably gave the kid up around age 11.

In another, the kid was convicted of a major crime by age 15 or 16. He is now in some sort of prison institution. I don’t totally understand it, but the parents are well off so they get sued by the state to help fund his placement. But essentially, they have no parental rights at this point. [/quote]
