[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 502705, member: 6705"] Hey WO - I have had a violent kid in my home, stepchild though I do love her to pieces, and I know that light at the end of the tunnel looks like it's been turned off. It hasn't... It's just around a bend (or 2 or 10). You and your husband have a responsibility to keep all the kids in the house safe. If you need to call the police - DO IT. I let my husband talk me out of it too many times, and Onyxx just got older and older, and bigger and bigger... But because we can't afford the long-term Residential Treatment Center (RTC) type stuff (we did try), I was feeling pretty hopeless and the repeated calls to the cops (and her getting arrested) finally got through. We're paying child support to the juvenile court and she is in the county-run behavioral Residential Treatment Center (RTC) which keeps her little brother much much safer at home. You can try your county health group, around here they're called "combined health districts" and many times they can help... :hugs: and welcome! [/QUOTE]
