[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 730061, member: 13303"] Unfortunately, it may be time to call Social Services (if you have not already done so) and explain the situation very frankly. Others here have had the terrible experience of needing to sign custody of their uncontrollable, incorrigible children over to the state so the child could receive residential placement. This is obviously a nuclear option but it is an option if things get to that point. The other choice might be to enroll him in public school and once his issues become evident, request that he be evaluated for an IEP, assuming he does not already have one. If he DOES have one, this may open the door to help for him and potentially for the family. If he does not, it is worth it to see if he is eligible. He may very well eventually become involved in the juvenile justice system. This too can offer help and resources to both your son and your family. You made a very wise statement when you said that even at his relatively young age, your son has free will and can choose to help himself (or not). No matter how wonderful and evidence-based a program or facility might be, if the child does not buy in and participate then the chances of rehabilitation are slim. [/QUOTE]
