[QUOTE="Andy, post: 215918, member: 5096"] I would show those pictures to every professional you can. I am also very worried about the other kids in the home. So much amongst siblings goes unreported. Please take your other kids aside and ask them if they feel safe. I don't think they do. If difficult child has done anything (including threatening) that sibling can charge him which would be another way to get the legal world, thus the medical world, to take notice of what is happening. How old does he have to be for military boarding school? Since teachers think he is so well behaved, they would have their eyes opened ASAP if he was their responsibility 24/7. I wish I knew how you could tap into a legal psychologist. One who works with crimes involving people who draw pictures like your son did. One who really does know how to interpret these distrubing images. They are not common. I am sorry that the docs do not seem to be taking you seriously. Another option would be to try to locate an adolescent mental health hospital nearest to you. Take him there for an assessment. The staff there would know what to look for and how to interpret that picture. Call your health carrier for a list of those within network. If there is one out of network that is within so many miles of you and the in network one is further than so many miles, than insurance may pay it as if it were in network. This does look like his behavior will get worse before you are able to get help. Put a plan into action. At what point will you be willing to call the police or take him to ER if/when he does start following through on violence? You keep yourself and the other kids safe. Again, I will be surprised if the other kids are feeling safe right now. keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
