[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 528479"] When difficult child 1 was 5 he tried to kill difficult child 2, repeatedly. I understand the shock and horror that someone you love so much would do something so awful. difficult child 1 would also throw chairs bigger than himself across the room if put in time out. We made a time out room. Put him in there and stood on the otherside of the door until he calmed down for 5 min. Sometimes he was in there for hours raging. Keista is right about the help. Getting help at such a young age means your son has hope for change. My sons therapist was wanting him to go to an out of home placement at 6 years old. I fought him on it until difficult child 1 was 10. I wish I had listened sooner. It was the best thing for my son. Having him out of your home doesn't mean you're not a good mom or that you're not involved in his treatment. The goal for my son has always been to have a happy family life. I assume that is the goal for yours as well. It is still possible for my son even though he had an out of home placement for a year. Why don't you give us more information about what testing, medications, diagnosis's, and history your son has. There is lots of experience here and we might be able to help. Is there any possibility of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) or BiPolar (BP)? I'm so sorry you are hurting. I am glad that your 1 year old is safe though. I had difficult child 1 taken out of our home because I couldn't keep the other kids safe. While in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) he learned a lot and now that he is back things aren't perfect but they are much better. Something I realized after he came back was that the younger kids don't remember him being violent. They aren't scared of him. Our of home placement is not always a bad thing. Welcome to the board.
