[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 78956, member: 1498"] I would never have called the police on my son. First off, I don't know what the police are suppose to do except arrest him and take him to juvy. I didn't want my son in juvy nor did I want him taken out of my control and institutionalized. Enough bad things happen in institutional settings that I didn't want my son in one. My son was ill, not criminal, and the system couldn't provide any help I wasn't providing. If he could have controlled his behavior, he would have. No one wanted that more than he. Nor did I want the hassle and potential cost of getting involved in the juvenile justice system. But mostly I fear police with guns trying to subdue a man-size boy. Sometimes they shoot. Even when you tell them there is a mental illness issue. Maybe even more so. Man-size boys are not treated the same way as little boys or any girls. I have no time for medical professionals who advocate calling the police on a child diagnosed with a neurological disorder that causes behavioral issues. That means they believe the child can control behavior which is the result of a malfunctioning brain. That makes no sense to me. [/QUOTE]
