[QUOTE="cmfout, post: 395688"] We're definitely in a bind here. The police in this town are terrible, the county is so small and separated from the rest of the state that help is almost impossible to get. We have one actual city in the entire county, but it's more of what most people would consider a small town. The towns, for the most part, are tiny and surrounded by farms of different types. We're pretty remote where we live. If he'd willingly go to therapy it would be much easier, but he refuses. I'm quite literally on my own in dealing with him. The county police will help what they can, but if he heads into town there's nothing they can do - he's stuck with the small town police, with a youth officer that has a long history of problems with town families. My family are nearby but won't help. They're of the belief that ignoring him and excluding him from everything in their lives will keep them from being affected by his problems. I was talking to a friend who's lived around here much longer than I have. She said there used to be a "boys ranch" somewhere near here but can't remember the name of it or exactly where it is. I'm going to see what I can find out about it. If it still exists it may be an option for us. [/QUOTE]
