[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 62181, member: 1953"] Ok, breathe. I know this is terribly upsetting. I hope you realize that your son is a threat to your young children at home. We were in your spot and this is how we handled it. Alex was punching walls and throwing things and started to push us. We were advised that this was domestic violence and if we wanted to help our son we needed to call the police on him. We did just that when he pushed my husband out of the way as he was trying to leave against our will. We had him arrested and he was taken to juvy for an immediate three day hold. After the three day hold we told the judge we thought he would run (which he was doing then) so they held him over the weekend till he could be released on a tether. He came home and was very hostile and threatened my husband so I called his tether guy and reported him. He was arrested at school and sent back to juvy for three weeks. We knew he was mad at his father and only wanted to see me, but his dad was the only one who visited. I only visited him once and that was on Thanksgiving. At his court date, the judge warned him, and dismissed his case and he was told he would be placed for 9 months if he showed up in court again. All though this route did not save my son, he never was violent again. He was able to bond with his dad when he got home and was doing great for three short weeks. The problem with Alex was that he was using hard drugs unknown to us at that time. You might want to consider the possibility that your son is using harder drugs than pot. His behavior sort of suggests it. Usually what they will admit to is only the tip of the iceberg. Other parents on this site have also called the police on their children. I am sure they will be around soon and let you know how it played out for them. Welcome to the site and I am glad you found us. Now you know you are not alone. [/QUOTE]
