[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 517509, member: 3419"] I'm so glad that you felt liberated after the first call. I agree, do not call them repeatedly. The effects will wear off. You can use the threat of a call, though. If your son is like mine, you can sit him down and say, "Would you like me to call the police now, or later?" and he'll probably burst into tears. And tell you more than you needed to know. And then you won't have to call the police. The idea is to get him to think and to feel and to put him on a path that is constructive. You can also arrange for a tour of the local juv det ctr. I did that with-my son. I arranged it b4 hand, but I have to say, I was a bit disappointed because the intake ofc kept pulling me aside and whispering, "Mom, he's a good kid. Why did you bring him here?" which difficult child overheard, of course. Grr. These officers see really hard-core kids, but that's the part I wanted to use to scare-straight my difficult child. DF has some great ideas, too. [/QUOTE]
