[QUOTE="Lila256, post: 722545, member: 22431"] Thank you so much for the welcome and support. :-) Yeah, we really have no idea why he is not in some type of facility, especially at this point. Part of the problem I think is he is very good at playing a part in front of certain people. Most people meeting him would think he is an odd, immature, but relatively "normal" kid until they actually spend time with him. Even before he tried to kill his father, his counselor had repetitively told the psychiatrist that she could do nothing more for him as a counselor. She had taught him all of the skills she could, whether he chose to use them or not, and as parents we were going above and beyond what any of her other parents were. It wasn't helping. She said he needed psychiatric treatment, prior to all of the really bad stuff that has happened this year. It was never followed up on. That is why it is just so ironic that they are even trying to charge his parents with neglect. It was neglectful to not provide him the necessary treatment we constantly fought for. It was neglectful of the state to not hold him either in a psychiatric facility or jail after he assaulted numerous people and tried to kill his dad, especially because it resulted in several more people being victimized by him. (Two little girls may now have to be in therapy for the rest of their lives as a result.) There are multiple people who should be held accountable in all this, but it certainly isn't his father. So glad to have found all of you! [/QUOTE]
