[QUOTE="buddy, post: 489153, member: 12886"] Hello and welcome to this supportive and caring board. This is not my area at all so I wont pretend to understand what you are suffering through, but the tie that binds us here is some pretty outrageous behavior issues in our homes and I want you to know you are for sure not alone. I am sure that there are others coming along here....they will help you with each step but it seems you do know some of what needs to be done. It is just going to be very hard. Not harder than as you said...the worst. I think the one good thing is he is 16. You still have some say in the intervention. While I found out recently that in our state at 16 a child can opt out of mental health treatment, they also said there are ways around that and so you can start investigating those options while you are setting things up for your next step. You have other kids in the home, you know there is a chance of a lethal weapon, so if it ends up there is one, then you can end up with problems yourself so it is wonderful you are being vigilent and looking. You might want to see if the police have a k-9 who can come (a non emergency call) to check, if you choose to use the police to help you. They are trained to search for drugs and guns. Glad you are here.... keep checking in! [/QUOTE]
