[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690755, member: 19951"] I had to place my son in a residential home for a few years- he was very destructive, harmful at times to himself and to our other two kids. He threw a big metal toy truck in the middle of my back during one of his temper tantrums, had slammed on son into a wall and he required stitches. I had brought a behavior specialist into our home to deal with the melt-down, temper tantrums. I would sit on him for an hour at times before he settled down. Anyways, it was hard decision to make, I sought the advice of Psychiatrist before making the decision. He said, he needs 24/7 supervision. He was in a mental facility for a month and they met with me, ex husband and spouses and determined he needed 24/7 supervision. He did well there and stayed until he was 18. He moved in with ex husband for a while after that, but those two just clashed and son moved out and to the streets. He lived off and on here and there, ups and downs, but now at 36 seems to have settled down. If you afraid of him at age 12, and for other family members, he needs to be placed, soon. It's hard, but it is for everyone's safety. He needs help, treatment. It sounds like your son also has oppositional defiance disoarder (throwing things, temper tantrums, melt-downs, etc). My son had that as well, among other diagnoses. [/QUOTE]
