[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704571, member: 1550"] Call the police. I have very tight finances myself. Maybe send him to a county mental health centee.bi dont think it's ever smart to put yourself in debt. There is no guarantee that a hospital one time will do the trick. In fact, as a former mental health patient in the days when you stayed until you got better, I see now that they rarely keep anyone long enough to really help and your bill will be high. Not everyone can do it. Hospitals are expensive. And your son isn't3 old enough to get a job to pay you back. I don't think kids pay us back for being sick so all the debt will be on you. Can you afford it? It's okay if you can't. I know you are a single mom. Do only what you can afford. I would not rush him into juvenile. He will be with seriously dangerous kids if he goes there. It's your call. When I called the cops on my fifteen year old for drugs, it did not go on any permanent record because she is a minor. If he continues being violent, for your sake and those of his siblings, he may need to live in a residential treatment center. Some are state run. Your other kids need to be safe and residential treatment can house and feed your son as well as providing school and various levels of therapy. I am sorry for your heartache. I hope you can do something positive, sooner rather than later. [/QUOTE]
