[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 411435, member: 1233"] Sorry the night was so rough. I think calling 911 was exactly the right thing to do, even though it felt like a big waste of time. You are likely going to have to keep doing it and going through this to get to the point where you get any real help. It can take 5 or 6 trips liek this to the ER for them to see that you really need help and it isn't just the kid having a bad day. As if normal kids tried to jump out of moving cars when they are having a bad day, sheesh, but this is how it goes a lot of the time. The purpose for the ER trip is to get the paper trail and documentation by people other than you and husband. THIS is what will help in the long run. Was the doctor talking about an atypical antipsychotic such as risperdal or seroquel? I would be asking the docs about adding one of these - they help with raging and aggression and can be very effective. Some tests do have to be done before you start and while you are on them, but as dangerous as he is I would think it would be worth it. He simply isn't able to make safe choices while raging. Next time PLEASE stop the car and call 911 rather than driving 1 handed and holding him with the other. Also go out to your car and set the child locks. A hassle for you but a safety issue for you and everyone on the road/sidewalks around when he is like this. If you open the rear door and look at the edge of the door where it meets the frame you should see a little lever you can move. At one side it sets the rear door locks so they open from the inside and anyone in back can open them. If you move it to the other side the back doors will not open from the inside. You will have to open the door for the kids each time, but it is worth it to keep them from jumping out while you are driving, Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
