[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 621146, member: 1550"] Will either of you be at risk from him if you try to discipline him? Would he hurt you or even do something while you sleep? I think this is the beginning of him going to residential treatment. If nothing else, he HAS to go to school. It's scary that he wants to live with you. I'd say no to it. I know he is still a minor, but he's one dangerous kid when he's crossed, which is probably why bio. mom doesn't. She is likely afraid of him. He could be pretty big at his age. Would he hurt either of you? Bio Mom? Just my opinion, but I don't think he's delusional. I think he says w hat he has to do to scare/manipulate you/get his own way and that he knows you can't make him do these things. I don't think he is so much gradiose as entirely me-centric. Nobody matters to him but him and he does have a lot of power. Any almost-full-size kid who absolutely refuses to do what you want him to do even if you use consequences and who is a physical threat to you is going to get his own way. It's dangerous not to let him...he is not your average kid who tests boundaries. He NEEDS to be in control and will force the issue. The police are t he only way to force him to go to school since your punishments don't work and only escalate his behavior. [/QUOTE]
