[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 222244, member: 1233"] In my opinion, having the dad tell the kid to hang up when the "mom from a kid at school wants to talk to you or know where we live" is a red flag that something is majorly wrong at that home. I honestly would use the kid cutting to report the situation to CPS saying that you know the child is cutting, that he goes to X school, and that he has been caught in 1 drug bust and 1 time having alcohol already. And he is only barely in his teens. The other boy may be latching on to your difficult child because he may see that YOU might report things and get him some help. It might at least be worth a mention to the resource officer when you speak to him. Also, the MOST comprehensive list of programs I have EVER seen for my area came from the Jr. high resource officer. Most were court ordered, but it was a list of places, addresses, and phone numbers so I could call and see what was needed for admission, and if it was appropriate. FAR better to have some idea ahead of time what is out there than to be caught by surprise by the judge or PO wanting to send your son somewhere. [/QUOTE]
