[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 35202, member: 1550"] I can't tell you what to do, and I don't know what state he's in (it's important). This is JMO and what I'd do, without even thinking twice. First of all, I don't believe hitting an eleven year old is ever a good way to change behavior. But if my ex hit my kid with a belt, I'd either make him stop or call CPS (and, yes, I'm serious). THAT to me is abuse. Bet it left a nice bruise. I'm sure some people will think it's okay, but I don't believe in any spanking if a child is mentally ill and to use a belt can make a violent kid even worse.Can you get custody again? Your son doesn't sound like he's doing too well with Dad, and, frankly, I'd be afraid to entrust him in the care of this man. He sounds like he has no understanding of the child. If the kid has bipolar, not medicating him can cause the cycling to spiral out of control. Hugs and keep us updated. (PS--Your hub is deluded if he thinks all kids do what your son is doing. They don't all do that.) [/QUOTE]
