[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 636060, member: 15473"] Well considering he made a direct threat to you it is possible you could take him to the ER for that. I have done it with difficult child when she was choking herself. I found out and drove her to the hospital all in one day. I wasn't having it or dealing with the what if's should she actually harm herself. You do have the right as a parent to take him there after such a threat and have him evaluated. I am not saying they will keep him for any longer than a few hours. They didn't mine. BUT it will get it on record as something you experienced and give you some background to help you out. Also it may give your difficult child a little more face time with his therapist or psychiatrist so that they are a little more involved in his care. As for your daughter regardless of what she wants she needs help. It would be non negotiable in my house. You don't want to take your medications? OK stay in your room for the day. I will drop food off at lunch and dinner and you can sit there. No toys, no makeup, and no cute clothes. Nothing to do but read and write and stare at the walls. School well school is for children who are healthy and can participate. She's not, so call the principal and tell them she refuses to go and wont take her medication. Basically taking action to make a change. It may not work. A lot of the things we try dont. But instead of waiting for something to change trying to make the changes happen can feel cathartic.
