[QUOTE="buddy, post: 541547, member: 12886"] Hi. Who has legal custody of your brother? If his mom left and she does you might be able to involve child protection (sort of voluntary ) and they could maybe help arrange treatment ...if he refuses it maybe could be residential treatment or a therapeutic foster home. You can also write a letter to the school districts department of Special Education. And say you want an evaluation for sp. Ed. Services. He can receive supportive placement for a student with an emotional and behavioral disability. His legal guardian would have to sign assessment permission though. He needs professional help and yes in some places he is old enough to deny it unless court ordered. If he is a threat to himself always call 911 though so you can document the threats and they can evaluate him. He at least can be helped thru each threat. In our area we have charter schools for the arts. Do you have any such schools? It could be a way to focus his energy on something positive. Sending you much love for this heartbreaking situation. He is blessed to have you. He is likely to wear out his welcome with these people soon so be prepared for what you want the next step to be for him. I hope they are a positive role model for him but in case ... These are just ideas. I don't know if they apply to your situation but just sharing ideas. Hugs to you ... [/QUOTE]
