This is my first time to post. I really need advice and support.
My son, who will be 16 in two weeks, has been diagnosed with conduct disorder, early onset, and that is his only diagnosis. No medications.
He is currently in juvenile detention for vandalism, misuse of a computer, and calling in a bomb threat to his school. He has also been threatening and bullying peers. He's been suspended from school every year since first grade. But his conduct is worse now.
The court will not pay for treatment but will let me place him. I have narrowed down the search. But I am not sure which type of facility. I was surprised that most places turned him down for their "level of care."
I want the best intervention possible. His psychologist is not much help--he's all smiles and little substance.
Basically I'm wondering what type of luck people have had with the following:

Basically I'm wondering what type of luck people have had with the following:
- There's school number one with an enrollment cap of 10 boys. It focuses on behavior modification and social, emotional, and academic needs. High credentials for staff. Also treats sexual offenders. That's the part that scares me.
- There's school number two with an enrollment of 30. It's behavior modification but uses positive peer culture. I'm afraid my son will walk all over these people.
- Military school
