[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 107040, member: 1550"] HI and welcome. I didn't read the other responses because I happened to be up in the middle of the night and just checked the board, but want to go back to sleep [img]:smile:[/img] I would want to take him to a neuropsychologist or a Psychiatrist (with the MD) for a total evaluation (I think NeuroPsychs are best because they do hours and hours of testing). I wouldn't go the therapist route without really knowing what's wrong. ODD is vague--all the kids here have ODD symptoms. ODD rarely stands alone and is usually triggered by another disorder. The teen years can kick up the symptoms and even evolve into drug use. I wouldn't wait too long. There can be long waiting lists. I truly think he needs further evaluating. As for the cell phone, well, he wouldn't have one anymore. That would be it. As for mother in law--I actually agree not to call the police without really first finding out what is wrong with son. I can't see how the police can help other than to scare him for a few days in which case he'd probably continue to act out because something isn't right with him. Maybe he'd end up in juvy--don't think that's a really good place to get help either and kids can pick up really bad stuff there. But SHE SLAPPED YOU?????? Hub would be put on notice that his mother is about to leave the house. [/QUOTE]
