[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 711427, member: 1233"] He is 18. Tell the cops that you want to press charges for assault. Do not give them a choice. Tell them that this is what is GOING TO HAPPEN. Don't let them make the decision. I had the deputies try to tell me that they could not take my under age child out of my house for abusing me or my daughter and I simply said that they had better call a judge because otherwise he was sleeping outside because he was not coming back into my home to terrorize my other kids that night. I had to protect my other kids and was worried about losing custody of them when children's services got involved. They told me that it wasn't going to happen and I told them it sure was. I then told them to put him in the car and backed the one guy up out of my house. I was smaller than he was, in tears, and at the end of my rope. He tried to tell me it was my bad parenting that caused it and oh that was the wrong button for him to push. I sort of lost it on him and threw about 500 pages of therapists notes at him and asked what else we should have done to try to help the kid? He called the judge. You have the ABSOLUTE legal right to press charges against your son for assaulting you. I strongly recommend it. Don't let these idiots tell you that you cannot do it. Get into their faces, calmly, tearily, and insist. Go to the chief of police and ask him why, when you are faced with your much larger child taking your phone after harming you, and taking your phone when you try to call for help (a FELONY in most states) your police won 't do a thing even though your son is 18??? Do they want him to go and beat some other citizen and then have you testify that the police taught him that it was perfectly fine because after all, it was fine to do it at home to his much weaker mom? Yes, I would go and ask the chief of police or sheriff that exact question? Your son isn't going to limit this to you. He will get a girlfriend or teacher or friend and do this to them. Then he will be on trial and you will be forced to be honest and you will be asked where he learned this. You will be FORCED to say the COPS taught him by not doing a darn thing when you begged for help. Trust me, this approach might work. Yes, it sort of is blackmail. It is a total public relations nightmare for the police. I would take a thermos of coffee and a book and whatever I needed to be comfortable and sit for hours until the chief or sheriff could speak to me about these officers not doing anything. I would also be calling each and every single time your child harms you. Plus I would kick the child to the curb to fend for himself. He can live on the street until he figures out that being violent is NOT the way to get where he wants to go in life. If he wanted to live with you he could keep his hands to himself. He is too old for that nonsense. [/QUOTE]
