[QUOTE="Ehlena, post: 313664, member: 6097"] Thanks emotionallybankrupt. Maybe putting a lock on our office would help. We do have a big flat-screen television that I'm afraid might become a focus for difficult child's anger. It's in our family room, and is pretty heavy. I can see right now that threatening to charge difficult child with vandalism wouldn't work. He would take that as invitation to escalate. And I'm pretty sure that putting ourselves in time-out will result in holes in our door, if not our walls. He's already done the hole in the door thing when he didn't get his way. The police officer said that he made sure difficult child knew that threatening people with sharp objects was not ok. And difficult child's got nothing valuable left to take away. He's already in trouble for the running away from 2 weeks ago (evading his father and the police, and not returning until 10:30PM), as well as him calling a classmate a "stupid Jew" (NOT the first occurence of him insulting others based on religion or race), failing to do his classwork and/or homework, and this latest incident with the math teacher. The only reason he had that harry potter game and costume is because they were birthday gifts from Friday. My husband is calling the social worker we had contact with before, from another incident where difficult child ran away, to see if she can help us in finding resources to help difficult child. We're both just tired. [/QUOTE]
