[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 218855, member: 1233"] Sending gentle hugs. You have very realistic fears for your baby if you can't keep even the adults in the house safe. Keep going to the pediatrician. INSIST on taking him in, even if you have to just show up and sit in the waiting room until he has a rage and the staff SEE what is going on. I have done that, and while the pediatrician did NOT like it, she DID see that we needed IMMEDIATE services. And, honestly, if his rages are so bad he can't be transported, the calling 911 is NOT optional. It is your JOB to protect everyone from him - even if it means psychiatric hospital stays until he finally looses it in front of them. Keep being as squeaky a wheel as you can until someone helps. It may actually be time to have him placed in therapeautic foster care or a group home for people with disabilities. I KNOW you don't want to consider this. But what is worse: having him placed soemwhere where he may get help or having him live with-you with no one willing to help and him repeatedly hurting all of you and possibly SERIOUSLY hurting you or the new baby or one of the other family members? If all the adults in the house can't handle him, then he probably needs far more intense services. I am sorry. I KNOW how hard it is. But do you want to sacrifice everyone in the house to his moods and rages and violence? [/QUOTE]
