[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for all the great advice.

We had a come to jesus sit down with DS and told him his options of either accepting therapy or he would have to be sent someplace to deal with the issues.  He agreed and so far has been keeping up his end of things.

He goes once a week and we go as a family once a week.  We also have him scheduled to see a psychiatrist in a few weeks for 3 sessions to get an evaluation.

Still dealing with minor bouts of defiance but no major blow-ups the past 10 days, which has brought down the stress level for everyone.[/quote]

Did you discuss that tactic with a therapist? Threatening exile from the family is pretty severe. [/quote]

I don't think it's severe given the behavior problems that OP describes--stealing, inappropriate sexual behavior (porn/texting pictures). and aggression/destruction extreme enough to call the police. 
I would give the same ultimatum. 
I'm glad things are better- give us an update if you want. I hope your DS turns things around. [/quote]
