[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with some PPs.  Send him to military school or boarding school.  It will be good for him (he will learn how to control himself).  It will be good for you (less stress), it will be good for your daughter (have a normal healthy upbringing.
It has worked for a couple hundred years.  The good of the family always used to trump the good of any 1 individual.  Now, we, as parents, put all our energy in our 1 non-conforming kid, to the detriment of our other children and our marriage.  No one turns out well in this model.
I have 1 out of 4 young children who is wreaking havoc in our house right now, and in the future I will consider military school.[/quote]

I had a brother like that (turned out he had mild Autism). Boarding school saved our lives. That being said, his behavior was a HUGE drain on the rest of the family and impacted us for the rest of our lives because my parents were so distracted by trying to get him under control. I lived in sheer terror of him until he was sent off to boarding school when I was 10 years old. He came back a much better and calmer person. NO, he was not whipped into shape, but he did get the right care, which included becoming an athlete (no meds, if you pill pushers want to know). He just needed independence and respect. [/quote]
