[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 313544, member: 8226"] Ugh. This sounds so much like some exchanges we've had around here. Sharp objects were favorite things here too, as was following me around to give me not a moment's peace. I hope you live in a place where the police are helpful and supportive. I'll be interested in hearing how difficult child responded to them. And...even more...how did difficult child act after they left, unless the police ultimately took him with them? I sort of hope they took him. Sounds like a chargeable offense to me, and if he gets away with it, it is even more sure to happen again. And DON'T bail him out. My difficult child came to realize I would NEVER do that. If a situation here escalated to the point of her arrest, a detention hearing would be next, because bail was not an option. Is there a way for you and husband to put yourselves in "time out" when these things start? Depending on where my younger child was, I would sometimes lock myself in my bedroom, and sometimes it would work. I'd say until difficult child has an attitude change, the blue lights will keep coming. I hated it, but I also knew I needed help and was so thankful for the supportive response. As they came to know what life in my house was like, they patrolled more steadily and arrived very quickly in a crisis. In my case, I even let them know which doors would always be unlocked, so that they would always be able to get in quickly--and without breaking down a door. Definitely document these incidents in detail, in case you have to file some type of petition later. In my state, it's called an "unruly child petition." I just hope you have a supportive police department. I know it's not that way everywhere. [/QUOTE]
