[QUOTE="CarCar, post: 26902, member: 3545"] Thank you all for your help and support. Last night was one of the worst nights of our lives. He had his counseling session and the therapist did an aggresion test/analysis and she said she was very concerned about him and was thinking some antidepressants might be in order. Unfortunately, only the psychiatrist can write a prescription and there is a 2 month backlog for an appointment with him for an evaluation. So she's checking today to see what we can do sooner. The mother of the boy he punched called us during the counseling session and said our son was bragging in school about how he beat up her son. So, I had earlier told him he could earn back a day from his being grounded for each day he stayed away from this kid. After hearing about the bragging, I told him that was now off the table. He swore at us the whole way home and then headed up to his room. After a couple hours up there we started hearing stuff flying around and he had thrown a chair against the door putting holes in it, broke a piece of shelving attached to the wall and was just going crazy. I had to hold him down and my wife called the police. They sat with him alone for awhile and were able to calm him down. He had mentioned on the way home that he was going to beat up the kid again today so we've both been waiting all day for the school to call. The school did call a little while ago and said he was doing fine but the other mother had called the school and is looking into pressing charges against him. They said under normal circumstances he would have been suspended but since no adult saw it, they can't. So, our hearts are breaking because we feel so helpless to help him, but we are very thankful for all your advice and comments. [/QUOTE]
