[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 722246, member: 19290"] I'm so sorry. Have you looked into wilderness programs or therapeutic boarding school? They can be expensive, but may be worth a shot while you can still make him go involuntarily. (It's super draconian, but there are transport goons who take them there against their will). I wouldn't hesitate for a minute in your circumstances. A good percentage of the prison population has the callous traits and entitlement issues that the ODD/CD diagnosis describes. I would think of it as an investment in his future. What good is a college fund if he thinks he'd be more successful at being a thief than having a job? If you think the porn addiction is driving the theft, there are specialized programs for that. Unless he's demonstrating more troubling signs (like hurting kids or animals), I wouldn't focus too much on the content of the porn. My understanding is that they get desensitized to the imagery over time and have to get "darker" to get the same dopamine effect. Like any other addictive substance. [/QUOTE]
